DNC CONFIRMS SYSTEM IS RIGGED AGAINST "GRASS ROOTS" CANDIDATES

You have to say one thing about the Democratic Party Establishment; they have got "big balls" even if  the chairperson is a woman.

The hot potato was "super delegates"

Because of this system, the Washington Post points out, Sanders could technically win the primary election, earning a majority of the 1,670 delegates determined by actual voting, but still lose the Democratic Party’s nomination, if Clinton gets most of the party’s 712 unelected unpledged delegates.

Critics have begun to ask why this undemocratic system exists. CNN’s Jake Tapper posed precisely this question to Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, an ally of Hillary Clinton who co-chaired her former presidential; campaign, in a Feb. 11 interview. She responded with shockingly blunt honesty.

The question asked of the chairperson in a CNN interview was;

“What do you tell voters who are new to the process who say this makes them feel like it’s all rigged?” Tapper asked the DNC chair.

Her answer was;

“Unpledged delegates exist really to make sure that party leaders and elected officials don’t have to be in a position where they are running against grassroots activists,” Wasserman Schultz calmly explained.

Fortunately for voters there is one "grass roots" candidate the DNC Establishment is not going to be able to stop; Bernie Sanders.

Sanders supporters demand that superdelegates follow 'the will of voters'
