The miscalculation they made was this: on the GOP side, the guy who won all the primaries is getting the nomination. On the dem side, the guy who won all the primaries is NOT getting the nomination. Which side is more likely to result in hard feelings amongst the rank and file?
Yep, it is ironic, that the “Democratic” party, is distinctly “undemocratic” in their processes for choosing their nominee.
People get to vote in primaries, true enough, but the “superdelegates” are always out there, ready to have veto over the people’s choice. Or tip the balance one way or another, based on back room dealing. How “democratic” is that, for a party which prides itself as being the party of the people and eschewing politcal back room dealing???
