More and more people seem to be understanding that the Democratic primary isn’t super democratic. Among them is Joe Scarborough, who asked what the point of voting in Wyoming was if Bernie Sanders crushed Hillary Clinton in votes but not delegates. Ben Mankiewicz (Turner Classic Movies), Ana Kasparian, and John Iadarola (ThinkTank), hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below. "When Joe Scarborough is absolutely right about the Democratic Party, that is a very bad sign. While discussing the Wyoming caucuses on his show “Morning Joe” today, Scarborough expressed dismay at the fact that although Bernie Sanders won by nearly 12 points, Hillary Clinton has nevertheless picked up the most delegates (11 to 7). “Why does the Democratic Party even have voting booths?” Scarborough exclaimed in barely concealed outrage. “This system is so rigged!” It’s hard to argue with the man’s logic. Sanders has won eight of the last nine primaries, which in a normal election year would be considered a sign of unstoppable momentum. In national polls, he is statistically neck-and-neck with Clinton, and he has whipped up unprecedented enthusiasm among young voters. All of this is rendered more impressive when you consider that the party establishment has attempted to stave him off from the get-go, with the debates themselves being scheduled so as to place him (and all other challengers to Clinton, for that matter) at a distinct disadvantage, and with only a handful of elected Democrats even endorsing his campaign.”* Read more here: http://www.salon.com/2016/04/11/joe_scarborough_is_right_and_thats_terrifying_the_democratic_primary_has_been_an_undemocratic_mess/ *** Download audio and video of the full two hour show on-demand + the members-only post game show by becoming a member at http://www.tytnetwork.com/join/.
