and Bernie sanders will not even be competitive.

Bernie sanders have no sense and no integrity at all!!
Rigged isn't defined by how a person won or lost.

Rigged is defined by the organization that is overseeing the election, the DNC, working for one of the candidates, Clinton. This is a rigged election as is held in Russia.

Tammany Hall, which was considered corrupt, ruled New York using the same tactics. Remember of course, there was a very large segment of the population that supported Tammany Hall corruption because they benefited from it. Hence, the apologists for Clinton DNC Hall.

I think it too bad that Bernie Sanders even ran as a Democrat.

I am not too surprised at some of the cited emails, out of 20,000 (seems all they do is email each other). We must recall that Senator Sanders is not a 'Democrat'. Early in his career he was with the Liberty Party, then afterwards an Independent, only becoming a 'Democrat' when he announced his running for President. Why Democrat? To take advantage of the party's apparatus/organization and high profile.

It is little wonder that the various officials of the Democratic Party were rather appalled at this avowed Socialist joining their ranks, and then speaking out against the corruption and hypocrisy that, frankly, the Democratic party is comfortable with.

One does wonder: what do the RNC emails say? Recall that Mr. Trump was also not a 'Republican' (previously a member of the Reform Party and Democratic party). He became a Republican for the same reasons Mr. Sanders became a Democrat. I have little doubt that the private RNC emails also spoke, frequently, of what to do to torpedo this fox that got into the hen house.

Of course, I also imagine that, even as we sit and have our coffee, the Republican party is busy deleting all emails, less they also be hacked. If not, I suggest they do. As a private party they have no obligation to be 'transparent'. The Democrats are being 'transparent', but not voluntarily.

I would bet that, regardless of whom wins in November, each party will create a new rule: to run for the Presidential nomination of our party, one must have been a registered member of said party for a set number of years. If such a rule had been in place last year, neither Sanders or Trump would have been able to run, to the satisfaction, no doubt, of both parties.

Putin feels the same way about anyone running against him.

As I said, there is a significant number of Democrats who long for the days of dictatorships because they benefit from it and they have absolutely no problem with the DNC rigging the election for their candidate.

Dictatorships always begin with a corrupt and willing electorate.

Top DNC staffer apologizes for email on Sanders’ religion - POLITICO

Top DNC Staffer and DNC CFO Brad Marshall:

"We are the party that values religious diversity. Unlike the Republicans we are inclusive and not judgmental." -to the world

"“It might may (sic) no difference, but for KY and WVA can we get someone to ask his belief. Does he believe in a God. He had skated on saying he has a Jewish heritage. I think I read he is an atheist. This could make several points difference with my peeps. My Southern Baptist peeps would draw a big difference between a Jew and an atheist." -to DNC communication directors

Chuck Todd and DWS discussing what to do with out-of-line Mika to punish her for her heresy, DNC top dogs trying to get the media to attack Bernie for his lack of belief in a God before the KY primary. Pretty interesting from a so-called "neutral" DNC.
They acted neutrally at least and that is all that matters
they have the right to show disdain for Bernie and discuss internally
Think about it, Bernie has said since he started the campaign that he is against those DNC officials by framing them as part of the unfair system, so how does it not make sense for the DNC officials to dislike someone going against them?
Besides, the Bernie campaign/supporters has attacked Hillary/DNC way way way more than vice versa, Bernie supporters always demonstrate full degree of hypocrisy

I use to watch elections getting rigged where I use to live. The key ingredient was complacent voters who were benefiting from the corruption.

WaPo and NYT are not reporting Politico journalist sent email to Dems prior to publishing it. Even CNN is not reporting this, if it was The Donald, they would/could not stop talking about it. Rigged much?!!

Default Does it bother you that the DNC was actively working against Sanders?

The DNC, the organization controlling the primary, has admitted that they were actively working against Sanders, even though they were claiming they were neutral. Does this bother you? Why and why not?

Hillary is a political elite, everything is rigged for her.

The DNC and WaPo held a joint fundraiser AFTER their lawyers said it would be illegal.
