What does it say when people think threats of and actual protests are viable actions to get their way at an elected political convention?

Are the people who voted in delegates to nominate a candidate actually aware of the effects of primary elections? Is fear of a mob so overwhelming that an entire political party will cave upon a protest staged for media coverage?

Is the political process so flawed that elections/primaries are now swayed by violence/threats of same? Do democrats believe in these primaries—or not?
