Why is it that the GOP Presidential nominee needs 1,081 delegates but the Dem winner needs 2025?  I know that the Super delegates enter into that equation but that still doesn't explain the entire discrepancy.

Seriously though, the two organizations are independent from one another. They each make there own rules. Only the Dems have super delegates who are free to vote for whomever they wish, regardless of the voter’s desires. This backup plan was put in place by the Dems because they knew their voters would probably be stupid sooner or later. It could be that the Republicans either don’t know how dumb their members might be or they don’t want to admit it. Then again, they might trust them and are not the power mongers that the Dems show themselves to be.

it's because the Democrats are socialists!

Well, not all of them. Quite a few are just plain, dumbass commies.

Actually, the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul has a slightly larger capacity (18,064 vs. 18,007) for hockey than the Pepsi Center in Denver.

over the years have continued to try to screw each other out of votes so they have diluted votes, like stock splits.

see?

and as well [1] do they hate America? and [2] are they godless?

The Democrat Leaders do not want their flock to have the the final say on who is elected.
That honor is bestowed on the chosen ones.
