Obvious flaw in Sanders' latest complaint about the "unfair" D process

This morning, Sanders said that the D nominating process favors establishment candidates while disadvantaging insurgent candidates like Sanders.

That begs the question:

Was Barack Obama an establishment candidate in 2008?

Was Michael Dukakis an establishment candidate in 1988?

Was Bill Clinton an establishment candidate in 1992?

Perhaps one might say that John Kerry was the establishment candidate in 2004 when seen alongside Howard Dean, Wesley Clark and John Edwards.

But to say the process works against insurgent candidates?

Another glaring Sanders FAIL.

That he doesn't need any sound reasoning?

Thank you for all this sound reasoning to throw back in his face, stop.

BS is late to the revolution.. Senator Barack Obama started it in 2008 and Hillary will continue it in 2017.

BS missed the bus.. he's just a wannabe.

...'loyal party member'.

They like to call us 'Camp Weathervane' but we're not the folks that switch parties depending on which way the wind blows.
