(26,060 posts)happened to Hillary in NV in 2008 and nobody here gave a shit because their preferred candidate won. Now I don't give a shit. It's not rigged - those are the stupid rules. Don't like them, get onto whatever state committee runs your caucus/primary system and change them - whining about the rules in the middle of the game smacks of sore losers.

(113,083 posts)What were the state party's rules in place that were replaced by the rigging of the vote? And how many of those are super delegate votes?

(164 posts)would know that they were talking about the Super Delegates. An article in Counterpunch (definitely not Republican) gives some interesting background to Hillary's support among this group of party apparatchiks:
