Riddle me this... If Hillary controls all people every where

and she gets everyone to rig an election for her in one huge gigantic conspiracy to prevent the Bernie from winning the nomination...

If you are one who believes this, don't you have confidence she will surely win in Nov. against Trump for those same reasons? Or do her powers mysteriously disappear June 14th.

2. It's a false premise from the start.

No one believes "Hillary controls all people everywhere".

And for what it's worth, I do not believe that Hillary is personally directing some mysterious behind-the-scenes campaign to rig things. But I do believe that many of her supporters in positions of power are not playing fairly. As just one example, the chair of the Nevada Democratic Party should run a party meeting in a neutral manner. That was not the case recently.

One could argue that Bernie's people responded inappropriately. But that's not the topic here. The topic is rigging. It's happening.

I think the OP is poking fun at the people that think she can somehow steal the primary, but will be powerless in the general.

8. But does anyone doubt Trump would not pull the same kind of dirty tricks as Hillary?

Their attempts at corruption would be a draw. And there goes Hillary's one advantage.

They just like to get a meme going and then get all their friends to agree in a huge subthread that I wrote something I never wrote.

par for the course.

That way, after the Democratic Party and the progressive movement is destroyed they can go about fixing it.

that the far left will get the blame if Bernie voters sit on their hands and don't vote. The entire far left will be in the same vote as nader is.

12. That is an important point what a leader wants to do and control.

Trump is much clearer than any Republican with what he wants to do, American domination of the world. This in my opinion is a recipe for disaster it has been tried and fails. Add that Trump is an opportunistic egomaniac

Bernie Sanders is crystal clear with what he wants to do get rid of the Oligarchs. I am not sure wirh what he would replace them but for the most part I would go with that.
After Sanders won the Presidency he would have a hard time and the Oligarchs would fight back a constant and potentially violent battle.


Hillary Clinton is murky I am not sure what she truly wants other than she wants power. The camp weather vane monicher fits her perfectly she will go with whoever gives her power. She is the eternal forever Goldwater girl without any real convictions right or left. If elected the glass ceiling will be shattered unfortunately there are also glass walls and she is throwing stones. Anyone who would allow themselves to be lobbied for money covering up Turkish-Armenian genocide 1917-1918 is capable of anything. She to her eternal regret will get what she wants and I to my eternal regret will vote for her.

Personally, I don't think she's rigged anything. I believe she has won fair and square, although she came into this deal the heavy favorite.

Certainly DWS hasn't rigged it for her. DWS is not nearly competent enough.

If Clinton sold her soul to the devil and has the power to control everything everywhere (as some people here insist), why would Trump be a problem? Child's play. In no time he'll be an old stinky deviled egg nobody wants, what with his huge closet of skeletons and the way the public gets sick of overexposed celebrities. Why would Satan Hillary's power fade? No way. Can't have it both ways.
