Guess who requested that polling places in Puerto Rico be reduced for the primary?

According to @MSNBC, the #BernieSanders campaign requested a cut in number of #PuertoRicoPrimary polling stations

Due to the fact that they couldn't find enough volunteers to be at more polling sites -

Per @tonydokoupil, Puerto Rico's Democratic Party is blaming Sanders's campaign for long lines & confusion today:

Much like the right commits voter suppression to prevent non existent voter fraud.

yeah this should go viral!

Puerto Ricans were also voting for others down the ballot, so this was an important election for them, not just the Presidential Primary. This is their future!

A BIG FAIL!

They just keep dropping the ball and screwing up. Just wish they wouldn't follow their screw-ups with whining about rigged ballots or other such nonsense.

Bernie has never been ready for prime time, and that grows increasingly obvious.

He would turn it around & lay the blame on someone other than his own dirty campaign games.
This is exactly how his campaign has operated throughout every State he was at risk of losing.

However, this time they have been called out.
This is teabagger & Rovian dirty tricks.
This is why bernie is in this Dem race.

He lost a long time ago yet continues his gaming of the campaign for one reason & its not because he thinks he'll be President.
Its to keep Hillary from winning in Nov.

The pattern of this truth is blatant & thankfully coming to light.
The fix is in on the reason for bernie sanders' being in the 2016 race, long after he's lost.
