thank god the republican party did not do what the democratic party did by having super delegates. right now we are seeing what happens when 25 percent of the delegates are not chosen by election but are assigned by the position they have in the party. there is a good chance that Hillary Clinton will be nominated because she controls most of those delegates. Hillary at this point is unelectable but she has a strangle hold on the selection and that has kept insurgent candidates out and has given Bernie sanders a insurgent candidate a up hill battle.
if the leadership of the republican party had done this we would be stuck with there choice.
