Preliminary. Right.

These 17 people gave up their time and their families lives.
They traveled the entire country like a non stop circus show.
Millions of private individual sent their money to help them.
Hundreds of millions of dollars from special interest was spent.
A young volunteer died in an accident in Iowa while campaigning.

All this time, they could have just rounded up a few 2474 people and decided among themselves who will run for president.

That’s amazing.

We need to hear more stories like this. The story is about real people. Real people who voted and attended campaign rallies. It is so disturbing that the Republicans are so cut throat against the peoples will. They need to be publicly humiliated to their face. Everywhere George H and George W go they should be met with scorn. Anytime Paul Ryan or Reince Priebus‎ step out in public, they should be booed. Seems like one of the only things that will stop these people is public humiliation.

Would you like to rant about the Electoral College too?

As I said, the article is only stating the obvious and normal facts. Party conventions pick the nominee. Duh. They've always done so. It's only appeared to not be obvious in recent memory because one candidate usually has it wrapped up long before the convention. But it's not working any differently this year than it did in prior years.
