    they really picked

    You mean the voters picked. By voting for him. Because they did that. They voted for Hillary too. By voting. For the candidate they genuinely wanted more or at least were least unenthusiastic about.

      What voters? There was no primary election (in good faith).

      Hillary who? Is she friends with Debbie Wasserman Schultz?

        “Stop the steal!”

        “Stop counting black low information voters!”

        “Let’s do the very very socialist thing of counting donations instead of ballots, thereby inaugurating an actual donor class oligarchy! By the way have I told you about my issues with the establishment being complicit in donor class influence over public policy?”

          Well the first two are abhorrent, but you’re onto something with that last one. At least it’d be honest.

      It’s okay to admit you don’t understand how primaries work.

      Just say it.
