Why did the DNC allow Bernie to run in the primaries as a Democrat?
After all he is not a registered Democrat.

Probably because he caucuses and votes with the Democratic party 98% of the time. I assumed that he did change his party registration, do you have information otherwise?

Sanders meeting today with Obama and Reid; no doubt he will get the full court press to drop out and swing his voters to Hillary.

I don't agree with most of his policies, but I will be disappointed if he gives in.

He's lost by four million votes and well over three hundred delegates. It's mathematically impossible for him to win.

Even his best friend, Cenk Uygar is advising him to suspend his campaign.

That is true - we are going to find out a lot about him soon - I think his policies are dated and unworkable but I think he is honorable - I think he will have a hard time looking into the faces of his supporters - especially all the young people who have fired up his campaign - and asking them to vote for Hillary. I don't think he wants to let them down.

We'll see what happens!

So one area in LA wasn't as prepared as they should have been, they provided voters with an alternate way to vote and both candidates bore the impact, if any.

What's your beef again?

Oh yeah.... Those crazy theories that say the election was rigged....😏

Indeed. I never bother looking at responses of his that depend on Youtube links to make a (weak) point.
