Nothing surprising there.

Hillary is facing indictment.

It's fun to watch Bernie doing so well, getting all excited yet being trounced in the delegate count due to the DNC's super delegate deal.

If there's shenanigans, and Hillary is the nominee in spite of the electorate favoring Bernie, this could help set up a Republican win in November.

I really feel the disillusioned Bernie supporters will be quite bitter and will NOT show up at the polls to support/settle for Hillary.

We'll see.

Also, would the Hillary supporters shift to Bernie?  I know Bernie is giving the DNC the shivers. 

I think Hillary would actually win the general, so there's probably a lot of protecting of her going on, but enough has seeped through that people are wary.

I think Biden is going to get into it if Hillary falters more.

My guess is that you're right. A lot of Democrats are turned off of Hillary. And if Bernie supporters feel like games are being played so that the anointed one can be crowned, I think they will be incredibly resentful.

Yep, it will be draft Biden at the convention.

It's not "shenanigans".  They're simply making it "fair" by "redistributing" the delegates from the delegate rich (Bernie) to the delegate poor (Hillary).  They're simply applying Bernie's policies.

Who exactly has indicted her?

Hillary is facing indictment.

Present tense.

Past tense.

Not the same thing.

To be fair, it would have been clearer to say, "Hillary is facing the risk of indictment".

I cant get passed the Irony of voter suppression of individuals with the Dem's using Super-delegates to bolster Hillary...your vote only matters if you vote for the right candidate.

It depends on who the GOP goes with. I think both Trump and Cruz would convince bitter Democrats to suck it up and do what it takes to make sure these guys weren't in the White House. Each one for different reasons. Liberals envision a return to the dark ages and ruin when it comes to these guys. They will motivate the Liberals to get out the vote and vote for anyone but them.

That there is funny. Somebody needs to point this out to Bernie.

I stand corrected!

I had totally forgotten about MadTV. That didn't last long, did it?

Interesting. I'm surprised McConnell, et.al. haven't pushed the super delegate concept in the GOP to retain establishment power.
