- Bernie would of made it in 2016 if he hadn't been cheated. Will they screw him over in 2020 as well? Maybe Uncle Joe. The DNC will probably feel they owe it 2 him
No, Bernie wasn't cheated. He lost. The DNC doesn't have the power to shift a 15% voting gap.
I have to agree with Maryposa. Sanders was running high hurdles while Hillary had the sprint lane. She also had the super-delegates, which was an impossible burden to overcome. Bernie's chief fault was not working the party apparatus for support. Hillary got most of the power-Dems by default. Then again, the party had decided on Hillary, since BHO had pushed her aside in 2008. It would have taken a miracle for anyone to overcome that, and Bernie, as Democratic Socialist, was an unlikely miracle worker.
I don't think the fact that the powers in the party were behind Hillary caused the 15% voting gap. The party and the super delegates do not choose the nominee; the voters do. The superdelegates go along with whoever wins the primary votes, as they did in 2008.
-- yeah right. Like the superds who refused 2 back Bernie after he won their states. Such as Al "my judgement is better than yours" Franken. That from a dude whose signature routine is a hare krishna devotee getting his ponytail cut off
