Later it was revealed that the Clintons had largely taken over the DNC by taking over its debt and the DNC openly harassed and hampered Sanders at every stage.
The DNC pledged to reform itself and reduce the power of establishment figures and superdelegates at the convention.
Now Politico is reporting that DNC members are again discussing changing the rules to stop Sanders.
In the meantime, the DNC has been criticized for clearing the way for Michael Bloomberg by changing its rules to help him make the debates.
William Owen, a Tennessee DNC member, acknowledged the discussion and said that he does not support the effort.
It would confirm in the mind of critics that the DNC is only interested in creating the appearance of democratic choice and only to the extent that the voters do what the establishment expects.
"There's talk about somehow trying to change this rule at this convention - just casual conversation, and I have participated in it some," said Don Fowler, a former DNC chairman from South Carolina who opposed the DNC's decision in 2018 to strip superdelegates of much of their power in the presidential nominating process.
