Aaron and Cody
Aaron; I think I MEANT to type "What a RACKET",...not "Rocket", but whatever.
Cody; Neither the Republican nor Democratic Parties are truly 'Democratic' institutions; when you vote in a "Republican" primary, (or caucus) it is the Republican Parties caucus, not yours. The party rules, and how Delegates are apportioned, are not transperent. Its become apperent to me the party leaders want to maintain control of the process, while allowing voters to assume 'their votes count'. The process is rigged; this is one of the reason both paries have 'superdelegates'; so they can maintain control over the process.
Render unto Caeser,that which is Caesers; its The Parties primary, not yours.
One of the VALID arguments AmericansElect makes, is on this very issue; HOW delegates are selected,and how Nominees are selected.
Again, watching this process unfold has been, for me, "Deja Vu, all over again"; just as I 'Learned" that our election process is not nearly as transperent and free of 'vote rigging' as I had previously assumed, I now see that the whole primary/caucus process is, if anything, even MORE rigged!
