Interesting exception
Exceptions are worth examining.
The "election" this year started normally. DNC blatantly and obviously rigged the Iowa primary. Reassuringly normal.
Sucker Filter. If you're dumb enough to believe that the rigging was incompetence, you're the kind of "voter" both parties want and cherish and cultivate.
But at least initially, New Hampshire seems to have been unrigged. Bernie was allowed to win.
It's always hard to gather a pattern from only two instances, but Iowa and NH are traditionally the most important buildup for our "election" racket.
Two choices.
1. New Hampshire somehow resisted DNC's normal blackmail operations, kept its own functional system for counting votes, and didn't alter the results.
2. This is the rigged and planned result, for reasons that aren't yet evident.
Given the way our "elections" work, (1) is just barely conceivable, (2) is vastly more likely.
A quick hypothesis without any supporting data: William Henry Harrison. Bernie is 78 and had a heart attack or a "heart attack" during the campaign. He won't last much longer, and he knows it. VP Pete will be able to take over almost immediately, and Bernie's fans will fade away without resentment or resistance.
