The Best Part is that Bernie Doesn't Care

Bernie Sanders is not backing down in the face of extreme displeasure from Hillary Clinton and her cronies.  Sanders refuses to condemn his Nevada supporters for being upset by the rigged convention in that state that stole a few more delegate votes from Bernie and gave them to Hillary.  Indeed, Sanders makes clear over and over again that he sees the Democrat selection process as rigged.  Of course, that's because the Democrat selection process actually is rigged.  Fifteen percent of the total delegates to the convention are super delegates chosen by party insiders rather than by the voters.  That means that after the insiders chose to support Hillary, Bernie would have had to beat Clinton by nearly three to two just to pull our a victory.  If that's not a rigged system, then nothing is.

In any event, Hillary is furious that Sanders is not conceding.  So says the Hill, the place where the Clintonites go to leak stories to the media.  According to Hillary, Sanders is not just attacking her, but the entire Democrat party, in essence calling it corrupt.  It's strange to see such outrage from Hillary.  Hillary is always outraged about something, but the subject of he outrage is rarely because someone is actually telling the world the truth.  The Democrat's system is, in fact, corrupt.  We should be seeing a very close race between Hillary and Bernie.  Instead, we have a one-sided contest because the rigged system favors Hillary in a big way.

Hopefully, Bernie will keep on fighting until the convention.  Indeed, maybe he could keep going after the convention.  Clearly, Bernie doesn't care about what Hillary thinks.  Nor does he care all that much about the corrupt Democrat party.  Why would he?  The party uses a rigged system to give the nomination to Hillary.  After having the election stolen from him, why would Bernie have any concern about telling people the truth about the corrupt Democrats?

It would be a good thing if Bernie runs as an independent in November.  There's no polling on that race.  Still, I have to believe that Sanders' supporters would mostly stick with him.  That could give him victory in a number of states.  It's unlikely Bernie could win, but then again who would have thought a year ago that we'd be in the present situation?
