Hillary Clinton
Showing Original Post only (View all)If the system is rigged, how did Obama win in 2008? [View all]
Obama, a new Senator running a grass roots campaign without the backing of the "establishment," got more votes and got the Super Delegates to support him once he started getting more votes from the people.
How is it that Obama could do it and Bernie could not? Is it the fault of the establishment and the system, or the candidate?
