65. The DNC is so incredibly short sighted and transparently corrupt.

The R's will figure out a way to right their ship. Some sort of deal with Trump, who loves the word "deal," to step down in favor of someone more palatable to the establishment. I don't know how they'll do it, but they will. They're salivating over the prospect of taking down Hillary Clinton. Nothing will stand in their way.

Meantime, the Dems, in cahoots with the thoroughly corrupt media, managed to prematurely crown and further alienate half their party and a considerable number of Independent voters who favor Bernie. What they did to the voters in today's primary states is unconscienable. I am literally physically sick over it.

I could never support a party that so disrespects its members that they would out and out engage in vote suppression. Fuck that. Voting Bernie in California today and see no possible way toward "healing" after this stunt.
