I really hate how voting in the US is designed to not actually let everyday voters have the say. The nonsense of delegates and then the electoral system. It's all designed to allow for blatant corruption.
I think we Trump fans, as awful as it might be, have to root for Hillary now. If she defeats Sanders I think Trump may get some of his voters. Even Trump says he and Sanders agree that the US is getting ripped off on trade but Trump says Sanders won't know how to fix it but he Trump can. Also, if the Sanders fans thinks she cheated twice, they won't go to Clinton.
You are totally wrong. The 6 super delegates can choose whoever they want. These rules weren't made for this election cycle. They have been there for a long time.
The super delegates have pretty much been polled, and until they change their vote, most of them are saying they are going for Clinton..
I know many Republican leaning independents in California. They will vote for Bernie because California has semi-closed primaries.
Californians must register as democrat or 'No Party Preference' to vote for Bernie! Since Cali is a deep blue state, therefore, they decided to vote for Bernie to keep king Hillary OUT.
Then, we can decide whom they are going to vote in general election.

THat is a horrible argument for 2 reasons
The first one being that Bernie Sanders has only been a Democrat for 8 months, and decided he would participate in this system, no one forced him to. He obviously isnt going to gain the majority of support from a group he himself didnt support 8 months ago.
second, Being that Sanders has been elected to the federal government for something like 30 years. That doesnt make him an establishment candidate, but it means he knows how the system works and again, chose to be apart of it instead of running as an independent.
Not important. Iowa was also attached against Bernie. Neither makes a difference and Bernie knows it. Was is important are good showings in Nevada and SC and of course Super Tuesday. I donated once again so Bernie had the funding to get the message or across the Super Tuesday states. Apparently his funding site erupted during his speech last night. I couldn't get through but was able to donate this morning. Hopefully he'll raise millions from small donations. Looks like he raised $2.5M last night.
I just saw on CNN how many delegates Hillary has and it is over 400 while Bernie has not even 100...unbelievable how bad the awarding seems to be handled.

He's supported the (D)'s from the day he was elected. While I'm voting for him, his actual lack of Independence here made me think it over at first.
As it turns out he is the only candidate that might address my two biggest concerns. The banks and the wars.

Won't matter in the end. In NH Bernie won women 55-45 and got 49% of minorities--you can stick a fork in Hillary if those trends hold. Door wide open for Bloomberg to jump in as independent.
