Why do "the Party Bosses" keep blocking anyone except Hillary Clinton?

@TheDemocrats
Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders is running for president. Welcome him to the race! http://bit.ly/1bgevsL

1. HOW DARE YOU!

2. Because the Party Bosses are DLCers.

They are the ones who try to make any non-centrist, non-business oriented liberals look like a bunch of dirty hippies and freaks. Shit they are already criticizing Bernie for his grooming. They are saying that he's really not serious or he'd do something with his hair.

And these are our guys, not Republicans.

3. Preemptive strike...

4. They blocked Bernie? I didn't see that coming

and so soon after he announced!
Man those bosses are slick!

[Zorra]

5. Excellent. This means we have gotten them to pay attention. nt

6. The ice pick will come from the back

The word is already out that Bernie is not a "serious" candidate becuase he can't raise $1 Billion dollars.

In three pieces yesterday, they call him a Socialist up top and then amend it to Democratic Socialist below. They think that's the hammer/Dean Scream.

Then there will be some caucus shenanigans or state disqualifications like 2008.

Why, what plan have they laid out in your meetings?

10. None whatsoever....but then you wouldn't believe me anyway

As we all know, the DNC plays no role in the Presidential selection process, other than to allocate delegates by State and set the calendar.

But if a good conspiracy theory makes your day...

11. I LOVE conspiracy theories

They are so often true! I'll keep checking in with you as the campaign moves forward. We'll see how wrong I am.

9. Arguing with yourself about conspiracy theories?

12. I'm confused.

13. Well done.

Really shows the bs that has been spewed by many here over the last month.

[betterdemsonly]

14. They are corrupt and selfish and value their own interests

more than democracy.

[nichomachus]

15. Maybe because what they say in public and what they do behind the scenes are two different things.

It's like a Miss America contestant wishing other contestants "all the luck in the world."

16. For the same reason rhetorical questions are self-fulfilling prophecies to biased hacks.
