112. You seem to be fresh out of suggestions for how to determine a winner of the primaries.

It's not the popular vote, which is rigged against Bernie. It is not the delegate count which is rigged against Bernie. It is not a coin toss which is easily rigged against Bernie, and it is not a staring contest which you don't even comment on but I am sure is somehow rigged against Bernie...

So what's not rigged against Bernie?... I know, "You are a paid troll!" is not rigged against Bernie! Brilliant! Works every time!

OK, since you know so much about me, tell me how much do I get paid, and where do I collect? Or am I rigging this too much against Bernie?
