| Subject: Superdelegates a corrupt tool designed to elect party establishment candidates like Hillary Clinton Mon Mar 07, 2016 3:33 pm | |
| In no uncertain terms, this election — particularly the Democratic primary — is completely rigged. This weekend, while watching election coverage on Super Saturday — and again before and after the Democratic debate Sunday — I lost count of the number of times pundits and experts said Hillary Clinton has a nearly insurmountable lead against Bernie Sanders. Except, she doesn’t — or at least she shouldn’t. Sanders has won three of the last four contests. Overall, Clinton has won a total 12 states and Sanders has won eight. That means we have 30 states to go. In the 19 states that have voted so far, Clinton won 671 delegates. In those same 19 states, Sanders won a total of 498 delegates.
Let’s look at it another way. A little more than 40% of the states have chosen Sanders while 58% of the states chose Clinton. Similarly, Sanders has grabbed 42% of the delegates and Clinton has won 58%. All of this suggests the race is not only close, but incredibly early. Meanwhile, 62% of the states, including New York and California, have not voted. The race is actually incredibly competitive — particularly when we consider most Americans hadn’t heard of Sanders before last year. But — and this is a huge but — another group of people, mainly career politicians and party leaders, are thwarting the will of the people. They are called superdelegates and they are mainly tools of the Democratic Party establishment.
