That explains why the Democrats had less candidates.

Forget delegates for a minute. Which of the 2 candidates has won more actual votes?

That is impossible to answer because not all states did a primary, and even then primaries varied between open and closed primaries.

As on the Republican side, how either party structures their nominating process is their right. And the rules are pretty obvious right up front. If Bernie -- who I luke-warmly supported until just the last week or so, didn't want to run under Democratic Party rules, he should have stayed out of it.

The rules havent hanged, and there was no coin flip like that LOL.

Bernie has a large core of supporters and some of them just happen to be Independents and some are even current republicans. In some states, you have to be registered as a Democrat to vote in the Democratic primary.

NO one cheated you or other Bernie supporters because you failed to register or change your registration before the deadline, and to be a delegate you have to actually be called a faithful party member in some states, and voting for Jill Stein or Mitt Romney 4 years ago does indeed disqualify those people as well.

No it is not.

What you mean to say is that the results do not reflect what you believe to be the real support levels of the candidate. but who has more votes is a fact recorded by the secretary of state of each that has held a primary.

The Democrat Party clown show is even more pathetic and entertaining than I imagined in my wildest dreams.

Pass the popcorn.

Not at all, I think Hillary has won more states than Sanders and is ahead on the delegate count. I do however understand that the number of votes don't matter when trying to compare who is ahead because Hillary beat Obama in total of votes, but didn't win the nomination. That is why the total number of votes doesn't matter.

Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz is VERY angry Bernie isn't bowing down to corrupt Hillary. It's no secret Debbie has favored Hillary from the start, maybe because she is a feminist herself. Now she is angry voters and Bernie aren't falling into line, what a corrupt awful person this woman is... I hope every Bernie supporter stands up the the corrupt system!
Hatred for Bernie or just men in general?
