Nevada’s delegate allocation process is complex, but Sanders supporters have accused the state Democratic Party of various crimes including ignoring attempts to change the rules, rigging the process in favor of Clinton and disqualifying several dozen delegates that supported Sanders.
Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver reiterated those concerns during a May 18 interview on CNN with John Vause.
“There was a horrendous breakdown, where the leadership there in Nevada hijacked the process on the floor, created a tremendous amount of angst among people who were there attending the convention, who were supporters of Sen. Sanders, by ignoring the regular procedure and ramming through what they wanted to do,” he said.
There’s little disagreement that the convention was chaotic. PolitiFact Nevada was at the convention and saw it firsthand. But does the Sanders campaign’s complaints have merit?
Were they robbed?
We could all go back and forth on this endlessly, but already said my piece.
So…………why don’t we change the way the Democratic Party does its business?
1. Get rid of all caucuses.
2. Get rid of all super-delegates.
3. Hold only “open” primaries.
4. Hold the primaries in the same way we hold a general election. You get an inclusive ballot (lists both Dems and Repugs) at the door and you vote for whomever floats your boat.
Let’s stop all of the crap and begin to act like a democracy that doesn’t exclude anyone who wants to vote.
Concern trolling for Clinton. http://correntewire.com/concern_trolls_for_hillary_clinton
Super delegates were put in place to prevent another McCarthy, I get it. But 2016 America is not the same as it was in 1968, no matter how the 1% have campaigned to keep it that way. Don’t scare the 1%, has been the Dem mantra for half a century.
