The Dems were always going to run Hillary, it came as a huge surprise when Bernie suddenly looked like upsetting their plans, partly because of the monies already raised, partly because of planned endorsements, and partly because Bernie was not an official Democrat. The entire DNC machine was rolled out behind Hilary ...
This wasn't 'rigging' it was just politics .... there is hardly a Democratic on the planet who doesn't admit that without the backing of the party machine Hillary would have lost to Bernie .... but that's the way it played out ....
Would Bernie have lost to Trump? nobody knows and you certainly can't say for sure that he would ..... would he beat Trump in 2020? at the moment it's doubtful any Dem will beat Trump the way things are currently going ... if the Dems don't win big next month, then they've got little chance in 2020 ...
