3. There's got to be a compromise. You can't break rules, but you shouldn't disenfranchise voters.
 Do like the Republicans did in Michigan and cut the number of delegates they offer by half. That way, they remaining delegates are apportioned by percentage won, but the delegate count is half. I dunno, decide it by having a re-run of the race if it isn't too expensive, but when it comes to asking the will of the people, democracy, nothing is too expensive, except our current campaign system.


Ow! My Brain! Huuurrtttiiiing.  :lmao: phew. Sorry, just got an ice cream headache from that post.

34. Seat the delegtions...
 Only with no controlling authority over who gets the nomination.

What about voter disenfranchisement that they cry about all the time?

The DUchebags would have been such good party members in the USSR.

Loved that one, LOL.

I'll have to brush up on my Democrat party politics but I'm guessing that "jefferson_dem" thinks a "delegtion" is some kind of Dem party member with the power to arrest nominees. Further MI and FL "delegtions" ought to forfit that power this year. Unlike the other "delegtions" from say, Idaho, who will maintain their controlling authority. Was that really so hard Bondai?  :p
