We now know with conclusive proof that the DNC annointed Hillary. BIden stayed out because of the pressure to stay out by major donors. Bernie fought to the end, but the DNC rigged everything against him. Few debates. Debates held on nights when no one watched. Hack libs, like Donna Brazille, brazenly sending Clinton debate questions in advance. The hacked DNC emails showing that the DNC hoped to use Bernie's religion against him in certain states. He had no chance. The game was rigged. And of course the undemocratic Super Delegates.

On the other hand, the RNC, faced an open rebellion. Many, many NEVERTRUMPers among the GOP elite (National Review, Weekly Standard, Senators, Congressmen, etc.) Trump was considered by far to be their worst candidate by the elite. Yet, the RNC did nothing to try and harm Trump. The debates went on as scheduled. The RNC took no position.

Bernie may have won, who knows. Are you the least upset that your party is so crooked and rigged the primaries against Bernie?

Talk about a loaded question. In the same spirit, let me answer a question with a question: Would Bernie Sanders, and his socialist agenda, had a better chance against the republican nominee?

I liked Bernie and most of his policies, but at one point I felt he was hurting the party. The progressive platform would be ridiculed by most of the conservative base. And although I like the progressive ideology, it would have nearly impossible for Bernie to get anything done in office, as congress would always have the anti-socialist card to play against any policies initiated by the oval. I think the party was too controlling of the process, because they wanted to win the office AND down ticket races. A lot of bad decisions, but it's a party....and party politics always play a role.

You actually pose and a very interesting question. What Bernie have done better against Trump?

Bernie, like Trump would've focused on the middle class and the Rust Belt. He would have focused on unfair trade practices, offshore ring of jobs, lowering of middle-class wages etc. his remedies however would've been extremely different. Raising taxes significantly rather than lowering taxes for example for both corporations and individuals.

The question is would those that voted for Obama in 2008 and 2012 remained with the Democrats and voted for Bernie even though they may not like his socialist policies, or would they have gone to trump.

We will never know. But there's no question in my mind the primaries were rigged against Bernie.

No. Most voters love a good soundbite. That's why republicans are so very talented at the practice. Instead of "crooked Hillary", email lies and her corrupt foundation....it would have been Bernie wants socialism and he wants to kill democracy. People would have lapped it up like dogs at the toilet

You're probably right. Plus I don't think the country is nearly as far left economically as Bernie.
