Democrat party is about as democratic as the Democratic People's Republic of North Korea (DPRK), better known as North Korea.

Feel the Bern=> Hillary Clinton Walks Away from New Hampshire With More Super Delegates Than Bernie
Andrew Marcus Feb 10th, 2016 9:55 am 95 Comments

If you thought Bernie Sanders won the New Hampshire primary, you’d be mistaken. He won the popular vote by 22 percent, but New Hampshire has Super Delegates who don’t have to answer to the voters and they’re going with Hillary!



No wonder the Hillary campaign looked like they were throwing a massive party after last night’s crushing defeat at the polls.

Sanders won 60 percent of the vote, but thanks to the Democratic Party’s nominating system, he leaves the Granite State with at least 13 delegates while she leaves with at least 15 delegates.

New Hampshire has 24 “pledged” delegates, which are allotted based on the popular vote. Sanders has 13, and Clinton has 9, with 2 currently allotted to neither.

But under Democratic National Committee rules, New Hampshire also has 8 “superdelegates,” party officials who are free to commit to whomever they like, regardless of how their state votes. Their votes count the same as delegates won through the primary. [MORE…]

And they call themsleves the Democratic party.

I wonder if Bernie's still planning to endorse Hillary if (when) he "loses?"

Dunno. Hard to believe what it takes to run for office in the two major parties. Deference to traditional donors and groups, abiding the party line, but worst of all these is the loyalty pledge.

But that is how a party works. If you don't like it you're supposed to start your own party and make the rules. Democracy only applies when you vote in the general election.

The convention and the delegates exist for a reason. When you vote in primaries you're not voting for candidates so much as you are voting for delegates.

As I understand it the delegates are only obligated to vote for the candidate who they road coat tails on in the first vote at the convention. After that they can go with anyone.

Agreed. It's just a disappointment to the left that Clinton is getting the advantage from it.

What do you think happens when Bernie Sanders wins 65% of the oopular vote, yet Hillary wins the democrat party nomination?

Will disenfranchised socialist democrats start a new far-left political party or will they attempt to overthrow undemocratic democrat party much like the Tea Party ?

Bernie would run as an independent and you'd vote for him.

After that you might start an apparatchik movement within the 5th column that is the Democrat party. You know the party looking to flood the U.S. with Ebola, HIV, Zika, illegal immigrants and refugee terrorists. ha ha
