[LIST][*]Trump - Strong candidate that defeated 16 competitors.[/LIST][LIST][*]Clinton - Weak candidate that can't win nomination without help of Super Delegates and rigged rules.[/LIST]
Rigged? If the Democrats used the same rules as the Republicans, Hillary would have clinched the nomination months ago. However, even when she won huge states like FL, TX and GA by wide margins, Bernie got his share of the delegates. I never see his supporters complaining about that.
Although it's been discussed since this race began, I'll repeat it again and most a new article from today. Bernie Sanders cannot win even if the superdelegates did not exist.

The very system that has allowed Bernie to stay competitive is the one he is complaining about, because the winner-take-all states would have soared Hillary to the nomination.
He's not a stupid man, so he keeps bringing up the superdelegates to anger his base. There's no other reason, since they've played no part whatsoever in this race and Hillary is ahead by over 3 million votes and nearly 300 pledged delegates. It's simple math.
Just awful, hopefully they can track some of the phone calls.
Add this to the shots fired at the Bernie office in Nevada, the Bernie supporters blocking highways, roads, and ambulances, the Bernie supporters trying to shut down private rallies and free speech, Bernie voters showing up to Trump rallies for fights... etc...
Shouldn't Bernie drop out so that his supporters can focus 100% of their hatred and violence towards Trump and not split it against Hillary as well?
Hillary is no better than Trump. When it comes down to it, I would prefer to see Trump win. The (D)'s should know better than force Hillary on us. She is the exact opposite of what the left has argued for years. Pro Wall Street. Pro War.
I still don't understand the "momentum" everyone keeps talking about, since he's losing. Hillary also had the same type of "momentum" and was much closer to Obama in pledged delegates, but she still lost. I don't remember any violence or death threats, do you? I also don't recall that Clinton made a list of conditions before encouraging her 18 million supporters to vote for Obama.
Clinton stepped down soon after she was told to by the CFR.
Sanders is not beholden to special (and anti-American, mind you) interest in that way.
Did I write that? I think you know I did not. I was talking about winner-take-all states when referring to the GOP primary. Since Hillary has won the majority of the largest states (by population) she would have a lot more delegates if they weren't proportionally allocated.
It's already been proven that no matter which way you do the math, Hillary has been winning throughout this race. Bernie has done a remarkable job, but the numbers are clear and have been for a month.

I never said he should drop out and, by the way, neither has Hillary Clinton.
