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

Can you imagine if only the activists got to choose the nominee? Holy s*** we'd have never won the White House in a generation.

Yeah, who needs the people who actually invest their time and energy in the party because they care about the beliefs it purports to stand for? Better have a bunch of establishment bigwigs decide everything, that will definitely lead to great candidates and policies. Roll Eyes

Sorry to be that guy, but elections are about winning, not feeling good about yourself. Sometimes, like in 08 and 12, you can do that. I mean, I'm in a minority around here by thinking Hillary is a better candidate and I support HER, not support her because I don't support Sanders, but I respect the difference of opinion on that.

But I completely agree with the idea of binning both caucuses and super-delegates.

My God, Hillary wouldn't want to win off the back of superdelegates. If that looks like it'll happen, then whatever happens, HRC won't be the nominee.
