Be careful. Bernie's supporters can overthrow the Democratic Party's congressional representation, especially in the Midterms (when the Obama coalition is sleeping.)

If we don't vote for the pre-selected Mrs. Clinton, the Yam will tear apart the country with his bare hands.

Quite the democracy we have, no?

There is no emperor or empress. There are candidates. People vote for them. The one who accumulates the most delegates wins. That's called democracy.

Who else in this presidential campaign could be referenced to an Emperor, especially highly similar to this guy?
