explain why Mr Sanders was not knowledgable of the super delegate process

explain how Sanders chose to not use his decades of government contacts and process experience to not do exactly what Clinton did, reach out to and ask for the support of Super Delegates

even playing field, two equal government experience contestants, Bernie blew this, period.

I don't think the DNC intentionally "rigged" the primaries in favor of Clinton or conspired to make sure she was the party's nominee. But, when they put in place the "superdelegate" system, the DNC afforded an insider like Clinton the opportunity to lock up those controlling delegates, basically locking out any other more viable candidate like Sanders. I think this was an unintentional consequence--but still a major mistake on the part of the DNC.

But do remember the alternative scenario that was running in the other party----18 candidates that included some amazingly unprepared people...and this was after the previous one, that had the likes of Herman Caine, et al.

"I am not mad at you that Clinton lost. I am unconcerned that we have different politics. And I don’t think less of you because you vote one way and I vote another.

No… I think less of you because you watched an adult mock a disabled person in front of a crowd and still supported him.

I think less of you because you saw a man spouting clear racism and backed him.

I think less of you because you listened to him advocate for war crimes, and still thought he should run this country.

I think less of you because you watched him equate a woman’s worth to her appearance and got on board.

It isn’t your politics that I find repulsive. It is your personal willingness to support racism, sexism, and cruelty.

You sided with a bully when it mattered and that is something I will never forget.

So, no… you and I won’t be “coming together” to move forward or whatever. Trump disgusts me, but it is the fact that he doesn’t disgust you that will stick with me long after this election."

Oh, agreed. It was a "perfect storm" of consequences that led us to President Elect Trump. Had there been a smaller slate of more qualified candidates running on the Republican ticket, I doubt Trump would have prevailed. Had there also been a Democratic candidate with less negative baggage, we also might be in a different place.

With 20-20 hindsight, I'm convinced that Biden was the only alternative that could have come through. His life circumstanced caused that not to be. I do not believe that Bernie was electable in a general campaign, though I know others think he was.

Probably, but my choice would have been Jim Webb - Annapolis grad, war hero, secretary of the Navy under Reagan, senator, lawyer, and novelist. Middle America would have embraced him, I would guess. But in all probability the Cintonistas saw to it that his ship was sunk early on.

In addition, Trump referred to her as “one of the most over-rated actresses in Hollywood” and “a Hillary flunky who lost big.”
