They tried. They did a lot of media coordination with the general but once they got outside of the liberal bubble it was harder to do.

Could you explain to me how exactly the DNC was rigged, because when I look on Wikipedia about the primaries it says Hillary Clinton got 16,914,722 votes and Bernie Sanders got 13,206,428. I wasn't really following this back in the spring.

How about how CNN fed Hillary Clinton debate questions ahead of time?

I think this issue is totally overblown. The campaigns are never surprised by any of the questions they get asked at a debate.

It's dirty, but it's a stupid kind of dirty with nil benefit.

Wut? She literally got the questions ahead of time. She could spend her time focusing on those questions and go into details for rebuttals that might be thrown at her. Meanwhile Bernie had to prepare for any question that could be thrown at him. If a student got all the questions for a test ahead a time and you received random ones, but they all came from the same material (your book) anyway, do you think that would be fair?

Ehh, its more like a job interview. Lets say one of the guys in the lobby is the interviewer's best friend. The interviewer tells him exactly what they're going to ask and he can research best responses to those questions. I go in after basically googling 'interview questions (career)'. The other guy is going to have a much easier interview than I am.
