    Would it be easy to get the Sanders's campaign to not call foul loudly and on every News station if that were the case?

    Why choose Hillary? Well for 1 she already wields a lot of political power, 2 She has the support of a large portion of the wealthy and elites, meaning she will have backing to force things through Congress. 3 She will nominate a SC judge to keep the court from becoming too lopsided. 4. A lot of women would like to see a woman president. 5. because it will enrage the far right and they tend to be ridiculous and ineffective when enraged.

    On a side note, I'll vote for her before Trump or Cruz, but as it stands now none of those three have my vote.

    Why are you claiming that the Democratic Caucus, which is run by the Democratic Party (a private institution), for the purpose of choosing a candidate to run in the election under the Democratic banner, has anything to do with how we run our elections. It is the way the Democrats choose their candidate, the Republican party can do it how they see fit, and it does nothing to stop any third party candidate. But to claim that it in anyway shows the state of how we as a country run our actual election is ludacris. The party members choose by the rules they implement, which is how it should be.

  8. No you can't look at them as a group. They were all done by completely separate people. They did not all land heads and Bernie's people called some of the tosses. There is no common ground for the tosses so you have to take the individually.

    But that logic fails, that only works if it came up heads every time (it didn't). So that throws all your math out the window. Each toss was 50 /50 and each toss had nothing to do with any of the others.

    Well considering these were 6 different coin flips in 6 different locations with 12 different people calling heads or tails, how can you group them together. It seems odd, but is it really?

  14. How so?

    Why is the government licensing a font from a commercial vendor?
