Tapper Confronts Wasserman Schultz on the Charge Dem Superdelegates ‘Rig’ the Process

One of the biggest controversies coming out of New Hampshire is the Democratic superdelegates helping boost Hillary Clinton from an over-20-point-loss to a tie. CNN’s Jake Tapper confronted DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz about this today, asking her what she would say to people who believe “it’s all rigged” against Sanders.

Wasserman Schultz explained how unpledged delegates are a completely separate category from pledged delegates, mentioning something about not wanting party delegates and elected officials running against grassroots activists. And something about competition.

Tapper noted, “I’m not sure that answer would satisfy an anxious young voter.”

He moved on to ask about the race and whether Sanders could win a general election. Wasserman Schultz said either Democratic candidate would easily beat whoever the Republicans put up.
