No wonder voter turnout keeps sliding to lower and lower levels under the DNC. People don't like to participate in a process that is, or appears to be, rigged.

I thought the host here did a great job of summarizing the situation in his intro, by the way:

"Democrats who support other candidates, rather than Hillary Clinton, have been arguing for months that the DNC's schedule of relatively few debates late in the game, on days and at times when few people will be watching, is designed more as a coronation for Hillary than a vigorous attempt to pick the best candidate."

Bingo!

Oh, and I definitely think Biden will be entering the race. You don't spend six weeks clearing your throat unless you've got something to say.
