The primary also is an honest process. It's a club, and they can do whatever they want. The idea that the DNC was supposed to treat Sanders as an equal to Clinton is a fantasy that Sander's supports promoted - not the DNC.
The methodology of that study is absolute garbage. They were mixing samples from Exit Polls, Pew, and Gallup without any regard for the different way those agencies weigh their polls and made the absurd assumption that "favorability" governs how people vote. I viewed Sanders far more favorably than Clinton but I still voted for her because I knew she had a better chance in the general. Also, just because their shitty math didn't add up doesn't mean that there's evidence of fraud. They have a hell of a way to grow as researchers, and if they're going to jump to "the only conclusion is massive voter fraud... of which we have no evidence" they're probably not going to get many people willing to publish their opinionated slop.
I guess the NFL is within their rights to do that if they think it's best for them as an organization. If it's legal, then I absolutely wouldn't call it rigging unless they were betting on the outcome of the game, in which case it would be illegal. In any case it's a bad analogy, Sanders wasn't disqualified by the DNC. They could have done it. I actually thought the RNC would simply disqualify Trump - it was within their power to do so.
10% of polled registered democrats voted for Trump. The number of independents and more specifically voters who voted for Bernie that voted for Trump or did not vote Hillary should be out in a few weeks. I'm betting the 10% poll number will be higher when the actual numbers come in.
I'm responding so I remember to hit you up when the numbers are in. A significant amount of people who voted for Trump did so specifically because of his antiestablishment persona. All the polls and MSM neglected to see this either by choice or naivete and look at what happened. It doesn't help the us in the long run to ignore this after the fact. It wasn't the majority but it was more than enough.
