And I'm for Clinton. Sanders is admirable. No question.

Also, compare this with the Tapper-Trump interview. Trump was a parrot of short #whinylittlebitch statements who interrupted constantly.

i have some friends who are bernie supporters, and these people have become completely insufferable. Endless conspiracy theories. Repeating old teaparty nonsense about the clintons. Delusional. ranting. assholes.

I think that speaks more to whom you choose to be friends with, more than anything else. I know a few Bernie supporters and a few Clinton supporters. Not one would i describe as you did. Matter of fact I have zero friends i would ever describe that way. Why would anyone in their right mind hang out with "friends" who are described as insufferable, delusional, ranting, asshole. I don't know, maybe choose different friends?

I have to preface this by saying I think the superdelegate system is corrupt and should be done away with.

But I do find it ironic that the DNC for months has been promising Bernie supporters "don't worry, superdelegates have never upset the will of the popular vote, we won't turn this into a mockery of democracy".

And Bernie supporters are now in the position on saying.
"Hey, you know that mockery of democracy deal? Maybe let's go with that. " ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Actually, I think most Sanders supporters would say the entire primary process has been a "mockery of democracy". (although that contention starts from the misunderstanding that the primaries are supposed to be purely democratic...they aren't, the parties are private clubs not government organizations, so they're under no requirement to be democratic)
That "mockery" starting with the super delegates declaring their votes for Clinton before a single actual vote was cast, and continuing through the media pretending they don't understand that super delegates are not counted in the delegate count to "secure the nomination" and claiming that Clinton has had it secured for a while now, even though they know clearly that they are repeating a lie, because until they actually vote at the convention, super delegates can change their minds, so their "votes" aren't actually votes yet....which is why they are never counted in the pre-convention vote totals, except this time.... it's a con game that they're winning. Similar to Trump, they're banking on the American people's ignorance and gulibility, and it's working.

That said, you have a good point. Either the super delegate system is terrible and undemocratic and should be eradicated, or it's a good tool for choosing the best candidate and should continue....but many respond as if they think it all depends on who it's benefiting today and they flip flop like a mud skipper. Those people can be ignored, because their 1/2 vote for counters their 1/2 vote against, as I see it.

They brought it the superdelegates to oust Bernie and it worked.
It's a shame.

It's funny the superdelegate system is corrupt and a power play and everyone was predicting that the RNC woudl use them to prevent Trump from being annointed but instead they decided to ride his popularity train. I hope it leads them to hell.

But for the DNC to just cast him aside is just ignorant.
He hit a real nerve much harder than ANY of the other candidates.

Great interview.
