It was state Democratic parties that opened the primaries and caucuses-not Bernie.

Some people here act as if the open primary/caucus thing was some sort of a Sanders plot. Our campaign had nothing to do with any of those states allowing independents to vote.

And if HRC had beaten somebody else in those primaries on the indy vote, everyone here who acts like Bernie's wins in the same states are somehow illegitimate would have questioned the results at all.

Needs to be one standard for all candidates and all victories on this issue.

They will think that will give Indies no where to go. They will be very wrong.
