    • CNN Published Analysis Wondering If Bernie Sanders Could Have Won An Unrigged Primary

    By on January 8, 2019

    Over a year late, CNN published an analysis that tried to answer the question, what if Bernie Sanders had a fair shot to compete in the Democratic Party primary in the 2016 election cycle?

    CNN analyzed the issue because of a recent excerpt published by former interim Democratic National Committee (DNC) chairwoman and Clinton surrogate Donna Brazile, who claimed it was not her fault for a rigged primary against Bernie Sanders. Brazile apparently forgot she leaked CNN debate questions to the Clinton campaign and was fired from CNN for the leaks.

    The analysis concluded Bernie Sanders would not have won the nomination because Clinton dominated the party’s primaries across the nation, with Sanders having only 47 superdelegates to Clinton’s 602.

    But, the analysis ignored the concept of a ‘super delegate,’ where an elitist group of delegates chose the nominee and it may not have been based on primary results.
