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.
Because there is a snowball chance in hell California goes red.

That could work both ways. I fully intend to vote for Sanders if he is the Dem nominee and Trump is not the GOP nominee. If Trump would get the nomination and choose the evil snake Cruz as a VP, I'd vote for Sanders in that scenario also. "Outside the Box 2016"

Exactly. I suspect the Super Delegates are "For Sale" to the highest bidder or Hillary has something to blackmail on them also. I truly believe that she has the "goods" on enough people to get the nomination through blackmailing. Plus we all know the possibilities if you cross the Clintons, much more likely to die in an accident or commit suicide by proxy.

You really have to wonder why they would go for Clinton and the answer would be pretty simple.

Default Congratulations to Hillary Clinton for winning New Hampshire.

Wondering why the Clintons looked so happy during their "concession" speech ?

Don't wonder anymore.

(32) Total New Hampshire delegates.
(24) Pledged delegates.
(13) Pledged delegates won by Sanders.
(9) Pledged delegates won by Clinton.
(8) Superdelegates.
(6) Superdelegates declared to Clinton.
(2) Superdelegates yet uncommitted.

Hillary Clinton = 9+6= 15 Delegates.
Bernie Sanders = 13+0= 13 Delegates
(+2 if he gets both uncommitted would be a tie 15/15.

Result: Hillary leaves NH with 15 Delegates
Bernie leaves NH with 13 Delegates.

And there you have it, the "Democratic Party" at work.

Actually, it turns out that Sanders won 15 delegates, not 13.

Everyone pretty much knows that the Democratic Establishment politicos are no different from Republicans. That is why they are voting for Bernie

Actually the Republicans are far more democratic than the Democrats.
There are over 700 Democrat Superdelegates but only around 120
Republican, and half the Republican are forced to vote along with the people
while the Democrats can vote 100% against the people.

Didn't Hillary get the "super delegates" in Iowa also?

It really shows how the system is rigged. We get the best government that money can buy. I hope Sanders somehow prevails despite the Establishment because I will never vote for Villary.
