Bless you all
Democrats orchestrating a brokered convention. Their entire primary process is a sham. DNC cheated and pushed Hillary last time and will outright pick the next nominee at the convention. Bloomberg will probably toss them cash and take it. I don’t care either way. Democrat voters seem to like being marginalized, used and abused by their own party.

Ray Charles could have seen what DNC is doing, I just hope the Bernie-heads do as they say and not vote if Bernie is kicked to curb for Bloom
