Super delegates at fault for election results

Way to go DNC! You were so hell bent on a Clinton coronation that you insisted on disregarding the will of a majority of your base.

Having super delegates who voted against 74 percent of Washington caucus voters supporting Senator Sanders was a big mistake. Then the crap that was pulled on Sanders delegates at the convention in Philly was an all time new low.

I do hope the party learns from these egregious errors and does not repeat them ever again. For the record I was one of those devoted Sanders supporters who was forced to hold my nose and cast a vote for Clinton out of fear of what we now have happened.
