He successfully managed to gather milions of people around his social platform. At the beginning, only a few believed he could go and hold on till now
Howewer it was clear to me from that from the early campaign stage, far before HRCs April 2015 official announcement, that she already has all the powerstructures with her, so yes virtually the game was rigged.
Sad to witness a nomination mainly based on name recognition rather than on issues.
Nontheless she is still better than Nazi Trump and Cruz.
