Your reasoning is good. I too would like the instant gratification of watching the party fold during the convention. But practically speaking it will be more effective when the dem leadership is 100% fully up to their neck committed to BO&B. It then exemplifies the dems complete unreliability as advocates for the USofA. If they do this secret ballot thing, 18MM people are gonna be PO’ed.
Democrats and unions both hate fair voting systems.
This is really a win-win, isn't it?
If they do the secret ballot thing, then Hillary is shut out (again) and her followers will increasingly feel that they were robbed and that the nomination has been stolen from them. On the other hand, if there is a floor fight, Hillary could conceivably get the nomination -- in which case black Americans would feel that they robbed. Then again, Hillary could lose the floor fight, but all the attempts at showing unity will have come to nothing.
This is just great stuff.
I’m not the brightest bulb on the string but I don’t see any escape from this. And our buddy, H. Dean, is again the architect. He is such an autocrat - loves power and the exercise thereof. Pelosi and Reid cheer him on to higher and greater heights of stupidity. Remember, he changed his own rules to get the result he wanted during the primaries. But then there was some recovery time to repair the damage - which he didn’t do. So now he’s stuck with the 18MM and no place to go. Hope the delegates strip him and publically flay ‘em.
Incredibly arrogant and telling statement about the process. "Count every vote" except those you disagree with. Conventions used to be about the process of selecting a candidate. Now they are simply advertising.
Wow the President Of The United States answered me....Hey the Border Guards out of prision!!!!!
