That's it! I'm calling it. Bernie Sanders will be the Democratic nominee in 2016.

"Anointed" was the correct word.
However, I didn't mean it to be my prediction of her nomination.
I merely opined that the DNC intended her to win it, & toward this end greased the skids.

To a point, yes-- but "points" don't tend to last long if trends go in the other direction. When it's all said and done, it will be the voters in the primaries/caucuses/general election who'll be doing the deciding.

If the DNC can limit the choices, then primary voters will be more likely to follow the plan.
As in all such things, there are no guarantees.
But the house can rig the odds.

Yes she is, but it's not because what the DNC has done.

How would anyone know what the DNC(Hillary's flunkies) did?
They, both, are currently winning. And the fight hasn't really even begun yet.
Yeah, I think she and the DNC are playing very well. And I think that is better for the USA than any of the other choices.

The worst challenge Billary have to deal with is probably voter apathy. Once everyone knows she is going to win and stops caring, Trump has a chance again.

But they can't and haven't limited the choices in reality. Heck, even you could have ran with all your $. You could have been the Democrat equivalent to Trump!

They can do what they can, eg, limiting debates.
Would such influence work in every election?
No.
But parties take advantage when opportunity knocks.

I don't have what it takes though.

Iowa results are in. Hillary and Bernie neck and neck. New Hampshire is already in the bag for Bernie.
It's time both candidates focus on South Carolina.

Man, was I wrong about the election!

Wish you weren't.

BTW, sorta reminds me of what Michael Moore said right after Trump was elected, namely [paraphrsed] as bad as you thought it would be, it's going to be far worse. He definitely was right.
