Bernie being put in at DNC?

Bernie Sanders Wife Says "They don't know your name is being put in for the nomination"

Whoa.

Is Bernie making a come back at the DNC?

Is Hillary out and we just don't know it yet?

I'm sure hoping so.

I'm no Bernie fan, nor progressive for that matter, but I'd rather see Bernie as the nominee over Hillary any day.

If Bernie is put back in and happens to win the nomination; we could have an election which would have some meaning and give people a reason to get out and vote.

That would make an interesting Monday even more interesting.

I don't like Bernie, but I think he should have had a fair shake.... and he didn't.

Go Bernie!
Bern Hillary!

I was wondering...

What would happen if Bernie takes the nominee and Hillary drops out but he dies after he gets in office?
Would that automatically make Hillary president?

I mean, he is old and pillow..err accidents do happen?

The super delegates are there to assure a Clinton nomination. They have already paid to play.

If a winning Presidential candidate dies or becomes incapacitated between the counting of electoral votes in Congress and the inauguration, the Vice President elect will become President, according to Section 3 of the 20th Amendment.

Super Delegates vote the way they are told to vote. The DNC may be on the verge of imploding from all the corruption revealed, it may be the only way to save their Party by allowing Bernie to take the nomination. Either that or Bernie's wife is delusional and based her caught on live mic sentence off of nothing.

Some supers are unbound

Under current rules, some 15 percent, or 712, of the party's delegates in the presidential nominating process are officially uncommitted and can vote for the candidate of their choice, regardless of the popular vote result. Critics of the system charge that the superdelegates - members of Congress, local elected officials, and other party leaders - generally tend to favor entrenched interests and, in this election, shifted the balance of power to Clinton.

After a lengthy debate and a deal between supporters of Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders, the Democratic Party's rules committee voted to created a "unity commission" that would dramatically limit the role of convention "superdelegates," binding roughly two-thirds of them to the results of state primaries and caucuses.

"The Commission shall make specific recommendations providing that Members of Congress, Governors, and distinguished party leaders remain unpledged and free to support their nominee of choice," reads the new rules language, "but that remaining unpledged delegates be required to cast their vote at the Convention for candidates in proportion to the vote received for each candidate in their state."

I have a bad feeling that all this is just a show to get people to hate both candidates and bring in the "savior" Bernie at the last minute.

If he is then he didn't make it very clear when he called on Democrats to get behind Hillary Clinton.

I think we can all agree that this would be for the best (except for delusional Hillary supporters, most of which are twitter bots). He may be confused and a bit manipulated, but he is not an evil witch looking to burn everything around him.

As long as he disavows support for Hillary and does not prop her up with more power once he's elected, I will consider voting for him.

Zero chance....ZERO

It's not clear what she said, I can hope... but she also easily could have said they don't know your name has been pulled from the nomination yet.

I think I'ma gonna hafta calla my bookie. You can bet on anything theses days and you never know, Bernie being the nominee at 47:1 odds pays off better with a grand in than the stock market lol.

Cheers - Dave

No chance whatsoever. Bernie is backing her!

I had the same thought. $100 at those odds is a nice weekend somewhere.

Bernie speech shortly... Guess we'll see what he says...

I could have misheard this one along with the video poster.

Welp. I was dead wrong!

LOL.
