A rigged election is a rigged election. Until we have a leader elected by the people, unencumbered by monetary obligation to the rich and powerful, we don't have a free country. We have a puppet regime.

Hillary is the frontrunner and all of a sudden the USA is a banana republic with fake elections. Mr Pots, you, to use an apt expression, have gone to pot.

No, Potter has hit the nail on the head. Our elections have been rigged by our two party Duopoly and the ruling class for quite a while.

This year a couple of "outsiders" have made it a bit farther than they were supposed to, so the rigging has had to become more obvious.

We are allowed to vote in order to maintain the illusion that we have some choice in the matter.

Colorado GOP has found a way not to vote.

She may have just lost me with this one. This is much worse than her carefully parsed response on Morning Joe. How many Pinnochios do you think the Amazon Times will give this. My guess is they'll ignore it.

The GOP there was more honest about it. No point in wasting everyones time with a fake voting.

I believe the point that Mr. Pots is making is 'how much money did Hillary have to raise' to become the frontrunner, and more importantly what are the terms for payback. Or do you think these donors simply love Hillary and want to see her living in the WH?

Excuse me sir, this could be anyone. Hillary just happens to be who the rich and powerful have picked for us this time around. They have big plans for her.

A banana republic? Maybe not. Fake elections, you betcha.

You guys don't get it. Bernie started to drop in his polls right after his "Hillary is not qualified" speech last week.
