31. Could Lead Not Just To 3rd Party But 4th
Tue Apr 12, 2016, 12:53 PM
Apr 2016

It's naive to think repubs will come to Democratic Party if Hillary the nominee. She's too detested. Maybe if Bernie was. People have different cultural values. It's just a fact. I see both parties fracturing into 3rd and 4th. It sounds implausible given the timeframe but I now see the implausible as plausible. People in this day and age believe if you won more delegates then you should win. Super delegates may be in the rules to rig things but it's still rigged and most people were unaware of this factor. But you can't hide it forever. Now they know and are angry. Expect that anger to grow and turn into action. Smart super delegates will flip if they see Sanders win more regular delegates.
