That's all you have to say. Or you can complain that there are super delegates. But, but, but since 1986 Super delegates have been part of the Democratic Party nominating process in one form or another. Surely Sen Sanders (an Independent and still registered as an IND)knew this when he asked to be included in the Democratic Party Primary. In fact one of Bernie chief campaign advisors is none other than Tad Devine who had a big role in reshaping the Super Delegate process.

Or OMG the debate schedule was skewed toward Hillary. So they freaking changed it and added more than the Republicans had so at the end there was hardly any audience. But still it was rigged, a deliberate slight at Bernie even though the schedule had been set before Bernie entered the race.

Then there are the primaries. Bernie Sanders wanted open Democratic primaries.
Hey, they're called "Democratic" Primaries because DEMOCRATS GET TO VOTE FOR WHO THEY WANT TO BE THEIR DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE!. We don't want republican, or so called Independents, who are probably Republicans, having a say in our selection for a presidential nominee. Why is that so hard to understand or accept? Besides, the DNC has no say in that matter. It's a state party level decision.

I am just so over this whole Bernie Sanders crap. I've held my tongue lately hoping that with Bernie endorsing HRC, his army of disgruntled has beens, would shut the F up. But after watching some of the coverage today, and reading some of the slimey, hateful comments about DWS (who I'll admit I was never fond of) and this ridiculous email "scandal", my patience wore thin.

So the final straw, Bernie FINALLY gets rid of Debbie Wasserman Schultz, he has been after her skin since forever. I really do believe he has a problem with strong women, and he finally got to show her who's boss.
