As an aside I kinda think the convention to watch will be the democratic one...I am convinced that Hillary was promised the nomination in exchange for stepping aside for Obama in 08. I think that bernie was installed simply for show and to give Hillary someone to appear to the right of. I think as bernie got popular and people started saying hey man you could win this, it went to his head a bit. I also think that all of these disenfranchised Democratic voters are NOT going to be happy with Hillary running away with the nomination when arguably Sanders should have won it

Mike you're like a fuckin celebrity, are you serious with this? Dude, how many people would need to be complicit in something like that? You are actually IN the media! Presidential politics is chaotic and messy. There is no ruling body (of Jews, democrats or otherwise) that could make or enforce these decisions. Obama won because he got more pledged delegates. He was 100 delegates ahead. She was very gracious when she dropped the race, and urged her voters to support Obama. That may have had something to do with why Obama made her Secretary of State.
She ran and expects to win because she raised tens of millions, has hundreds of powerful democrats supporting her, and she is a Clinton. You would too, had you been in her shoes.
Bernie Sanders tapped the young progressives, and they have done amazing things.
There isn't any conspiracy. Sanders has dedicated supporters who work very hard for him. She has always been "on top" so there wasn't much urgency among her supporters. No one expected Bill Clinton or Obama to win either. Al Gore was an establishment candidate who lost to a person who said "noo-culer". People like unscripted candidates.
