Spoken like a true oligarch. Who cares what the people want. "popular vote is irrelevant." "The fix is in."

They're a gift. Bernie won more delegates. Hillary was gifted more super delegates.

Iowa was a tie and Bernie creamed Hillary last night. There is no way he should have fewer delegates, but there ya go.
