The DNC chairmen herself said that the super delegates were there to prevent grass roots candidate from getting into office. Hillary is so unpopular, a system rigged in her favor (can barely I should say) get her nominated.

Hiliary is on the crazy train along with her few remaining supporters. The people DO NOT WANT her. She is being forced on them and, somehow, they're ok with it. How terribly, terribly sad for the dems.

Tell that to the 12,524,845 people who have voted for her so far. Millions more than ANY candidate running. So I guess Trump was forced on the GOP too then?

To hear you speak about Trump, yes that would be the case.

Its a rigged system, and most Americans agree the system is rigged according to polls.

The fact of the matter is that Hillary is doing absolutely terrible compared to Bernie among independents, voters under 40 and the white working class. These are CRUCIAL swing voters and she dismisses Bernie, his agenda and his supporters on a constant basis. She doesnt excite unlike Bernie Sanders and she is a bad campaigner. This is a time when America is ready to ditch the puppet politicians who serve their financial overlords and people get served Clinton by the establishment. Sure she has 25 years of a big national profile and is popular among people over 60 and African Americans but thats not enough!

On top of this, in some absurd way that cant be explained rationally, Hillary and her supporters are ridiculously smug and complacent about the general election, a sure-fire way to lose.

People are tired of perpetual warfare instead of investing money in the American people, and they are tired of a rigged economy held up by a corrupt system of campaign finance and the sooner people realize this, the better.

Ok...then why has she received the most votes of any candidate in 2016? Nothing rigged about popular votes. Im all for bucking the corrupt system but a billionaire, one percenter elitist like Trump, who is a huge part of that corrupt system with his decades of bribing corrupt politicians for favors, outsourcing jobs to foreign countries and funding and supporting illegal immigration, Obamacare etc...is not the person to do it.

Popular votes are meaningless in a system where lots of states dont vote, they caucus, and the party elites and the unelected delegates set the rules on who should vote and how its done and the big business media (all of which have donated lots of money to Hillary's campaign which they never disclose during debates and town halls) has enormous power to decide who the nominee is. If you honestly dont believe the political system is rigged, and that we dont live in a two-party duopoly where people are locked into an abusive political relationship, then you are just out of touch with the American people.

Looks like the far left socialists and free college agenda people are going to have a fit soon.
