......The debate was held at my alma mater, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Students had to register for a lottery and then only 25 tickets were handed out to the lucky “winners”.
.......
So….who WAS in the audience?.....I suspect they were State Party loyalists and hangers-on. Martha Lanning, chair of the Wis Dems, like other members of the establishment, has already endorsed HRC

The Democratic establishment & the grass-roots are loosing their connection

This is... literally true. What's the issue?

It's a matter of principle.
















A principle that, if applied across the board (i.e. to Republicans as well), would mean that Ted Cruz would win that party's nomination in a cakewalk.

Are superdelegates fair? No.

Are caucuses fair? No.

Are two unrepresentative lily white states having a major impact on the identity of the eventual nominee fair? No.

Life isn't fair. Bernie people are only showing their hackery by railing against one type of unfair system while ignoring or praising others.

If you really want to change the system, then pressure to change it when the viability of your favored candidate isn't at stake and there's no conflict of interest (i.e. not in an election year.)
