DNC Panel Recommends Huge Cut in Superdelegates to Avoid Nominating Another Loser Like Hillary Clinton

You mean, letting the people vote for who they want as a candidate? What a novel idea!

The RNC will do the opposite to prevent the grass roots from nominating a winner like Trump.

I still believe Hillary thinks she’s going to run again, and she needs the super delegate structure to stay in place.

The Superdelegate system was basically put in place to ensure Hillary became the Dem nominee.

Nominally the President is supposed to be the head of their Party but McConnell actually came out after the Inauguration and told the Press that Trump was NOT the head of the Republican Party.

Things have moved forward since then but I still wonder if McConnell has some lame plan to try to take control of the Republicans. That triple-chinned turtle is a worthless leader and a dolt but has been in Congress for so long he has deluded himself into thinking he is a king.

Note: shift to Superdelegates occurred after 1972 fiasco when Dem rank & file went for “Pot in every Chicken” McGovern

“The DNC cannot bring themselves to allow their party rank and file to choose the nominee. The elites must make it for them. The unwashed masses aren’t smart enough.”

And the liberal unwashed masses are perfectly content with this. They are willing members of a marxist Borg Cube, following the dictates of thier Washington D.C. masters. They do not want it any other way. Government is God to them. They simply want to be coddled and taken care of from cradle to grave.

Yep. In my opinion, based on how she has treated others and conducted her life, she deserves to live out her life without ever achieving her obsessive goal of being President. She's had so many opportunities to do good things in the world, but has chosen to do good things for herself. Justice would be for her to have to live out her life in the same kind of anonymity that the people she looks down her nose at generally live their lives in. To her, it's about her. That's a very small, very shallow, and very flawed world view. She should never be in charge of anything, including a lemonade stand.

Hillary can finish out her days by being the President of her cell block.

The Democrats are 40% short of being democratic.

The overuse of the supes was to ensure that the Democrat Establishment gets the person they want and the voters ddon’t surprise them with an unapproved candidate. Sometimes you just can’t win.

How about the DNC deciding that socialism doesn’t work, and try returning to supporting the Constitution and America.

Unfortunately they will continue down the communist/socialist pathway, destroying all those who stand in their way, in an effort to destroy our Republic.

If I remember correctly, the Super Delegate were instituted in 1973 in order to prevent the grassroots from ever nominating a McGovern like looser ever again. The DNC don’t even trust the people in their own party.
