How many people have seen the actual rules?

Here are the Democratic Party rules for allocating delegates to Congressional Districts in some states -

The rules are hopeless, but it's amazing that Hillary spent millions on campaign consultants who never bothered to study the rules.

“The rules are hopeless, but it’s amazing that Hillary spent millions on campaign consultants who never bothered to study the rules.”

Why should they, the rules never applied to the Clintons before?

Obama is a better student of Saul Alinsky, a communist organizer in Chicago. (Hillary actually wrote her thesis on him at Yale)

Subvert the process and make the rules work for you. I would have expected Obama to fade long ago. But he mastered the rules in Idaho, Wyoming, Texas, etc. to make the obscure rules of the caucus his strength.

From “rules for radicals”

RULE 4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules. (This is a serious rule. The besieged entity’s very credibility and reputation is at stake, because if activists catch it lying or not living up to its commitments, they can continue to chip away at the damage.)

How many can understand the rules? Corollary, rules change as situation changes.

In democrat nominating process, the only rule “win” by any means necessary.

They should out-source the explanation of those rules to the IRS, which has a lot of experience trying to explain Congress to the taxpayer.
