Whats occuring here is that some folks have found the way to get into the primary system voting....trigger hyped up feelings, and get normal people who would not show up for a primary....to vote. Course, for these democrats looking at their choices four months later (because they didn’t vote in the primary)....they are now upset and have little choice but to vote either for the Green Party or the GoP.

Both conservatives and progressives have had it with placeholders, with ciphers; each wants the real thing.
