    Can a "brokered convention" be engineered ? ...

    Here's the scenario:

    It seems that Bernie could well become the Democrat Presidential Candidate.

    The Democrat leadership hates that.

    Michelle decides to run, if allowed, which the leadership loves.

    At the Convention it seems that Bernie will have the votes in order to win.

    Question: Can the leadership cheat Bernie in favor of Michelle ?


    Don't challenge the scenario.
    Stick to the question or don't bother.

    Did the Democrat machine cheat to favor Hillary in the last election? Do you have any reason to believe they have changed their stripes?

        But now he denies he made those comments. But Elizabeth Warren said he did -- and by Democrat rules, you have to believe the woman.

          They sure did s**t on bernie in 2016 with over 500 super delegates assigned to hillary and just over 40 for bernie. I remember bernie crying after the hildabeast won the nomination.

          This time I think they'll let bloomberg buy his way into the nomination. He is no better than the rest but he doesn't have diarrhea of the mouth as bad as the sqad and the bozo's running.

          I think the dims will see him as being more professional and their best hope.

              I believe the super-delagate rules have changed.

                  Bernie was in the race when they ambushed him.
                  Michelle is not.
                  That's the difference, and as togor opined, the delegate rules have changed.

                        You don't pay attention to the news?

                        Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, the Chair of the Democrat Party, had to resign -- she was caught with her hand in the till, funneling debate questions to Hillary. Her successor was caught at the same game.
