By rigging the democratic primary, DNC overlords are basically saying your votes don't matter. Underlying messasge was: If you vote sanders, it won't be counted. If you vote for Hillary, it won't be counted because we're rigging this shite.

By doing this, it caused a divide in the party. Bernie supporters defected. Independent voters jumped on the Trump train. Undecided voters can't support a rigged party. All these want their voices heard and we heard them!!

They should. A lot of them are.

The hysteria over Trump winning is just a bit louder....and of course being fueled by the left wing as a distraction from how badly the DNC screwed up in rigging the primary. Noise from those upset Democrats will be increasingly heard in the future, especially as some Democrats weigh compromise with the republican leadership in congress.

A good candidate could have beaten Trump. I'm not sure if Sanders could have pulled it off, but Hillary was obviously not the right person for the job. She was scandal prone, lacks credibility, failed to excite former Sanders supporters, and ran into an opponent that could play just as dirty as she did.

Don't forget that the DNC and their partners in the media helped to push Trump to the top of the pile because they thought he was a "straw man" that they could easily beat..

They gave him round-the-clock favorable coverage during the primaries, and then expected he would fold up in the general..

didn't quite work out that way

Obama had control of the DNC. If you want to point fingers point them at him.

Obama has presided over a party that went from a party that had a super majority in Congress and the WH to a party who is resolved to giving advice to the victors.

DNC was coopted by Clintons over the late 80s in the run up to the 92 Presidential. Gospel Truth...It has only served their interests since Dukakis/Gore lost in 88.

True.

Where is President Romney these days?

Oh yeah.

Maybe you should count the AA vote, the Hispanic vote, the millennial vote and others that voted more for Trump.
