It seems that the DNC shockingly supported the Democrat in the race, to absolutely nobody's surprise, even Sanders. His whiny supporters love to have something else to stoke their whining though.

What I cannot understand is all this whining about closed primaries. As I recall I got to vote as a Democrat for four or five delegates to the Democratic convention. Well unsurprisingly I voted for those candidates who said they would vote for the same candidate that I voted for. Now if you don't declare yourself to be either a Republican or a Democrat why in hell should you get to pick delegates to either convention?

You had to go all the way back to 2005 to find that, and it's not even relevant. You do realize that the guy was a talk show host, right? You're making a comparison between a news article that is supposed to be objective, and a talk show.

And the apologists like you need to have things to minimize. You do realize Sanders was running as a Democrat, right?

Running as does not equal is. As to the OP, if you actually think the DNC has a closer relationship with the MSM than RNC has with Fox, I have a few dozen bridges to sell you.

But he isn't REALLY a Democrat, even though he has caucuses with the party for over 25 years and his political philosophy is closest to FDR's than to anyone else's.
