What the AP did was like calling the presidential election on November 1 based on a Gallup poll

44. I have never said Bernie is the only candidate who can beat Trump, or that the elections are rigged

I have said many times that if she is clearly leading in votes and pledged delegates at the end of the process he should suspend his campaign. I have said that the superdelegates should not override the will of the voters unless there is a very good reason to do so (like if John Edwards had won the primaries in 2008 before the scandal broke). I have also been saying for years, based on my former boss who knows most of the Democratic pollsters in DC, that the early exit polls released at 5 pm cannot be used to show that an election was rigged, as they are designed to be readjusted as the votes come in.

I think that the powers that be designed many features of this primary season to favor Hillary, and that after 1972, the superdelegates and other processes were put in place precisely to prevent candidates like Bernie from getting the nomination. But I do not think that the primaries were "rigged" against Bernie or "stolen" from him.

So please do not dismiss my arguments as the "latest attack of the day." As I said in my post, I think this hurts Hillary and her supporters as well.
