Sanders not only was robbed of the Democratic nomination, but all this crap laid the groundwork for an election that eventually got us Donald Trump.
​
Those are some rather large assumptions. I don't see how Sanders was guaranteed to beat either Clinton or Trump on a level playing field.

He was already declared defeated (from the start) due to the big Super delegate lead Hillary Clinton began with.
​
He didn't get media coverage that described him as anything but a small nuisance.
​
And the debate calendar was designed to keep him "dead" in the water.
​
(debates are really important due to the massive voting audience)
​
He still won 22 states.
​
The debate calendar kept him from winning? Seriously?
​
Super delegates are part of the nomination process, and Sanders was responsible for his own public image. Those would all be present with a level playing field.

It is fairly well documented that debates were deliberately placed on dates when there would be the smallest possible audience.
​
And Donna Brazile was fired from CNN when they found out that she sent debate questions to Hillary so she would be ready.
​
Do you really think that these two factors prevented Sanders from winning the primary?
