Bernie vs Trump, Bernie +10.6%

RealClearPolitics - Election 2016 - General Election: Trump vs. Sanders

Hillary vs Trump, Hillary +1.9%


Bernie vs Cruz, Bernie +13.0%

RealClearPolitics - Election 2016 - General Election: Cruz vs. Sanders

Hillary vs Cruz, Hillary +5.4%


Bernie vs Kasich, Bernie +3.3%

RealClearPolitics - Election 2016 - General Election: Kasich vs. Sanders

Hillary vs Kasich, Kasich +7.4%


Bernie averages 9% better than Hillary vs the GOP


Don't be a sheep and excuse the rigging of the process for lies.
Don't be a sheep and pretend that you don't know why Bernie polled better than Hillary.

If Bernie cannot win the primary (and the Emails had nothing to do with that) - how can we win a general?

How would the U.S. benefit by having a weaker bedrock industry? Let's get rid of Silicon Valley and the auto industry while we're at it, and we'll REALLY be prosperous!
I don't get the massive hatred of Wall Street either. Regulations? Yes. Let Wall Street burn to the ground? No!

Or she could just ask one of Trump's sons' to do it. They sure seemed to enjoy it. Cutting the tail off and everything. Brave soldiers they are.

So, screw Democarcy?

Look, the GOP is perfect in this front, or at least better. As comical as it is for many of us to see Donald Trump be the GOP nominee, remember how much many of the more traditional Republicans despise him. But, despite that, many Republican voters liked him and now he's the nominee. While I think Trump is far from being the best option, at least the will of the people took precedence over the political elites. If the RNC ran like the DNC does, Marco Rubio or Jeb Bush would be the nominee.

Even if we accept that Bernie would be an awful candidate, democracy means we will sometimes vote poorly. I mean, again, the GOP has in many ways amazed me this election cycle. I see Trump as being a huge mistake, but I'm sure a **** glad they had the opportunity to make it. We're just given Hillary, and that's not democracy. I don't even care who we're given. Hillary could be the greatest candidate possible, I'd still rather risk having her not be president by allowing people to choose someone else. Because democarcy is important to me.

I have some questions for those saying it doesn't bother them.

You know how when people have no point to make so they just say stupid **** like "do you hate America" or "do you hate freedom." I feel like saying no to a question like "does it bother you that the DNC actively manipulated the voting process in favor of a specific candidate" is one of those few times where asking "do you hate freedom" might actually make some sense. It usually doesn't, but this really is an issue of allow democarcy or not.

Not really that important... no real "smoking gun" found. People can attempt to create the smoking gun, but good luck.

People have a very short attention span.

Bernie never stood a chance. If the super delegates had been used fairly, and the DNC allowed a level playing field, we would be talking about the Sanders Trump debates.

Sanders, like Trump, had packed houses with 10s of thousands showing up. Clinton could barely pull in several thousand. The truth really isn't that hard to see.

Just more proof that we do not get the candidate we want, but the candidate the DNC chooses. At least the RNC wasn't able to do the same with Jeb Bush, which was their intention from day one.

Party collusion within news media and within that party's primary is, ' no real smoking gun'?

Wow.

You got that confused, dude ... Trump's the one who bragged that he could do that.
