Our Founding Father’s didn’t trust the will of the people. Seeing the madness that has overtaken us now, I marvel at their foresight and wisdom.

The Founders did not create the parties and their rules. It is healthy for the American public, both parties, to be examining the delegate situation. Bernie’s devotees will be just as mad as Trumpsters if their candidates are rickidooed out of their winnings.

I think we need to go back and look at the original intent. I was wondering today, what the Founders actually intended with respect to how elections should be run, and while they didn’t create the parties, they pretty much appeared on the scene very early on.

Not a historian here, but I’m glad everyone is getting a giant civics lesson this election cycle. The whole delegate/party set-up bears examination and debate.
