The delegate system is outdated...as is our Congressional system...ie...all of Congress power is concentrated in DC, where lobbyists arrive with baskets of goodies to “influence” the Congresscritters. The delegates system is concentrated among those who can buy their way with money and time into it...yes, I know it’s the Party...but, today’s working class doesn’t realize this, and I’ve never seen an article or ad for “delegates wanted placed by a “party”

If you'd participated in the political process at the grassroots level as I and others on here have, you'd know how the delegate process works.

You're pointing to the problem, which at the end of the day is an ignorant, uninformed and frankly, STUPID electorate that's more interested in reality TV than they are in the nuts and bolts of how America is supposed to work.

This is why we "get the government we deserve." A vote cast out of ignorance and the damage it does is now being exposed. There's two sides to this coin. The first is the corrupt political system we're now all seeing. The second is the ignorance of the electorate.

Can't have the corruption in the system without the ignorance that enabled it.
