| bettergetdave said: I don't know man. "super delegates"!! 300 of them were in the can for her at the word go! 6 debates when the prior years had 20 or more. Emails of DNC staffers discussing how to defame him based off of his religion. Doesn't mean Bernie would have won without all of that but to dismiss it like you are doing in my opinion is short sighted. |
There is no doubt that what staffers at the DNC did and their comments were reprehensible. That is why DWS resigned and Donna Brazille (who is a great lady) is now in charge. I am somewhat skeptical about the claim that there were too few debates simple because after Iowa, there were only two candidates left, which is not common for a primary. I personally believe that the number of debates was fine. Anyway, the fact remains that despite the awful emails and comments, Bernie did not lose because of them, it was because he received millions fewer votes mainly because he had zero appeal to minority voters. You can't win an election by only appealing to young whites and that's why Hillary won.
