Cokie Roberts said this morning 'why would they vote for Bernie? what has he done for them?'

Which is a fair point. He's running as a Democrat because it's convenient. There doesn't seem to be any reason to think he's concerned about the party as a whole.

Which is the same for Trump. Fascinating how such a sizable chunk of the electorate in both party's primaries are shouting the same message: FIX THE RIGGED SYSTEM.

I'd be shocked if the powers that be listen however. What is their incentive? As in all empires, it depends on who the military decides to back. Status quo or some Everyman they trust to keep their interests protected.

...as you know, WE are the powers that be...and by allowing ourselves to be divided also allows for a rigged system.

Bernie and Trump supporters have done the superdelegates a HUGE favor by not getting out the guillotine yet.

One time in another country this was what their contested convention looked like:

Well, it would be a damn shame if someone turned callous patronization back on a party.

In other news the New York pandering by everyone, all of them, is excellent.

The Spanish-language voter guides from Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach's office include two errors about registering to vote in the state, while the English guides do not include the same errors.

The Spanish-language guides said that voters could register up to 15 days before the election, while the English version included the correct deadline, 21 days before the election, as the Daily Kos flagged last week. And while the English guides told voters they could use their passport as a photo ID, the guides in Spanish did not include a passport in the list.

To err is human.

I love that saying because they misspell error.
