What is rigged? Sanders lost using the same rules as been in place. Sanders could have won but he didn't.

10. Put forward a candidate who said she will continue Obama's failed policies (Obama -2.0) but also said she was a "change agent".
11. Silenced the voices of parents whose police children were murdered by thugs but allowed the parents of thugs to rail against the police.
112. Dumb-as-a-doorknob Elijah Cummings (D-NJ) said that the Democrat Party obtained the right to vote for blacks, which was a major lie. Elijah Cummings Said Democrats Gave Black People the Right to Vote? : snopes.com

You can't make this stuff up, the Dems are so stupid and corrupt. They think that if you repeat a lie long enough, it will become true.

1. One can oppose a wall on the national border that wont solve the problem

2. You dont have a right to go to the DNC convention, you do have a right to vote.


3. You believe his policies have failed, she doesnt, showing a contrast in belief. Its basically like you arguing the existence of God and saying someone is wrong because they believe he doesnt exist, it is an opinion.

4.THe mother of a slain Philadelphia police officer was given a standing ovation at the convention when she spoke. You should have done some research before you posted.

5. He was clearly talking about the VRA. Again, research is needed on your part.

At least many Republicans are repudiating Trump; Democrats are diving all in for $hillary. Democrats aren't the brightest crayons in the box.
the most corrupt is whichever party owns the media.


death of the free press means the death of america

No one owns the media, each side has their own echo chamber but viewership and ad dollars drives media.

That is what I said, you support isolation and a limited market.

Incorrect again. Various media outlets are owned by the private sector - many with an agenda. Viewership and ad dollars generate profits. Two separate things. PBS & NPR also liberal dem. mouthpieces.

Even distribution and delivery channels (web, fm/am frequencies, etc) are owned and controlled by people and companies with an agenda.

The medium is the message and dems know this.

Nope. Each side has their echo chamber but profits and ad dollars keeps it going.

PBS and NPR? Have ever considered that what you believe is out of date... Maybe what you believe is more wrong than right. You thought the economy is contracting because GDP growth was lowered.

They pretty much did this with the super delegate concept. Democrats will ensure they don't have another 1972 convention where the popular candidate arrives at the convention to then be voted out by another politician that is better supported by the base. That was a disaster convention. 6 democratic mayors were banned from the democratic convention.
