Bernie Has Fallen:
Recently Democratic Presidential candidate, and self-proclaimed "Socialist", Bernie Sanders, has almost been removed from this Presidential race. Democratic Candidate Hillary Clinton, has reached the amount of delegates needed to win the Democratic nomination which is 2,383. Despite this Bernie has decided to stick in the race for he believes that he can persuade some of Hillarie's "Super Delegates" to join his cause (Hillary has 517 Super Delegates). However this call to arms by Bernie Sanders is a very hypocritical move on part of the Sanders campaign, for Hillary has the majority "Pledged Delegates" (Hillary has 1,812). The reason why Bernie's campaign is being hypocritical is that he has said repeatedly in the past that "Super Delegates," are illegal and undemocratic. However now he is begging for these same "Illegal Delegates" to vote for him, this is understandable however for he does have a point in saying that he has a stronger chance at winning against Mr. Trump than Hillary. Overall though whether you support Hillary, or Bernie, the people have voted and the majority of people have decided to go with Hillary even when super delegates are removed, and even when traditionally anti democrat states are removed.*Sources: http://www.hindustantimes.com/world/hillary-clinton-clinches-democratic-presidential-nomination-ap-delegate-count/story-psNU5qMYjkqYzP2C4qrJNJ.html, http://www.nationalmemo.com/bernie-sanderss-superdelegate-hypocrisy/, and many other news networks and websites.
