The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

[Ghoulish Delight]

I have no problem with the system. The primaries and delegate system was never intended to be the voice of the people. It was intended to help the party sort out who the best candidate would be for a general election. Their goal is to put the strongest candidate out there, and the rules, and the fact that in the end the popular vote is purely suggestion and entirely non-binding, ensure that if the party looks and says, "You know, this candidate is going to get slaughtered in a general election," they can do something about it.
