...on the GOP side, things work differently, and far more democratically.
Republicans have 2472 delegates, 168 of which are superdelegates, and those 168 people are RNC members. However, they are NOT allowed to vote for whoever they want at the convention. They can only support whoever their state supports, which means that they’re really not “super” at all. They’re just delegates.
Pretty interesting, isn’t it? That the GOP delegates will be voting according to the will of the people, whereas the Democrat delegates will simply vote according to their own, personal selfish interests?
[The Democrat] side is majorly rigged. And Sanders supporters are right to be pissed off. If he continues to win primaries, and is the clear popular choice, it may not matter at all. The will of the people be damned. There are 712 people who will decide for them, because they know what’s best. This is the party who claims to be for the little guy. The one who touts its diversity and inclusion. The one who insists Voter ID laws cause disenfranchisement.
Really?
Just remember, Democrat voters – when you vote for your elected officials, you’re giving away your own power to them.
They created it in the 60s, they can get rid of it.
Hahaha, can't wait for all the Millenials to realize all their phone banking, donations, facebook posting Instagram "Feel the Bern" crap won't amount to anything when these superdelegates toss the old man out on his ear.
Hard lessons will be learned this political season, that is for sure.
If Bernie gets screwed out of the nomination then his supporters should make it a point to not vote for the Hilldebeast in the general election.
Vote republican and make sure she loses big.
Vote 3rd party, Libertarian or Green, in order to send a message.
Or just stay home like many conservatives did in 2012 rather than vote for a RINO.
Doubt they will do that, they will hold their noses and vote for Hillary to keep the {R}s out of office. Holding nose and voting is American as apple pie.

Hillary Rodham in 2020, book it.
Yep, she's sure going to be booked...and fingerprinted.
If the election is just going to be a coronation of Hillary why go through all these caucuses? Shameful.
If you were wondering how rigged the election is regardless of party, check out the money stuffed in the pockets of all politicians. As the saying goes, "It's the Money, Studid."
Sanders chose to run as a Democrat, well aware that this was the process and has been for several decades now. As a matter of fact, his senior advisor Tad Devine was one of the architects of the Democratic superdelegate process.
No fraud here, move along, we don't need "Chicks on the Right" or anyone else on the right trying to interfere with the Democratic primary process.
