The most extreme candidate wins. We passed the slippery slope long ago! I disagree with this for the most part. The "red" (right-leaners, conservatives, my peeps) will actually call-out, ostracize, and remove people that stray from stated party principles. The left rallies around (I refuse to use the 'circle-the-wagons' phrasing here, for multiple reasons!) their people that 'step out of line', or step in it, almost to a fault.

Biden is currently under attack for being not liberal enough. Trump was under attack for having no principles during the primary until he showed he became the nominee and then Reps overlooked all his previous “positions” (quotes because he doesn’t have many bedrock principles). These counter examples not to say you’re100% wrong but that there’s no rule here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

B-Man 12,913 Posted July 27 We were told that the evidence of alleged Russian collusion was rock solid, the work of America’s top intelligence agencies. In reality, it was pure fiction cooked up by a Clinton-funded foreign contractor on the payroll of a sanctioned Russian oligarch. We were told the Trump campaign was never spied on or wiretapped by U.S. spy agencies. We now know the campaign was indeed wiretapped, that honeypots were deployed to entrap campaign affiliates, that overseas intel assets were used to set up meetings as pretexts for more spying. We were told our nation’s intel agencies would never use false information to justify secret surveillance of American citizens. In reality, DON and the FBI peddled lies to the FISA court that were cooked up by a foreign spook and a DOJ official’s wife, both funded by Clinton. We were told that our government’s top secret keepers would never leak classified or confidential information to the media. What actually happened is that top intel officials repeatedly leaked, often illegally, to cement a false narrative to support further spying on citizens. Finally, we were told that America’s top cops and spies would never foment a coup to overturn election results they didn’t like. We now know the most powerful unelected people in government cooked up lies as part of an orchestrated scheme to overthrow the duly elected president. . 6 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To this point, it's probably worth asking...if the GOP used Super Delegates in the primaries, would Trump have become the nominee? It is, essentially, how you got Hillary.

It is, essentially, how you got Hillary. Maybe. Maybe not. It's difficult to say how much persuasion the Superdelegates had over voter suppression and/or voting for the front runner. The free advertising Trump got on the campaign trail allowed him to blow his competition away and I doubt Superdelegates would've made a difference. The GOP tried every trick in the book to stop him from winning. 23 minutes ago, Buffalo_Gal said: It is how you got Obama. A lost of the Superdelegates switched allegiances because they quickly realized who the superior candidate was. People forget how contentious that primary was.

It is still a stupid system but Obama won with the voters and the superdelegates. There were a ton of abnormalities - even for the DNC - in 2008 including awarding delegates including giving Obama some of Hillary's delegates (Michigan), the "penalties" which hurt Hillary (at full value she would have been just about even with him going to the floor), and the strong-arm tactics at the convention floor. Good times for all! (If you can find some old D blogs from that time, you will be able to read the stories of what went on on the convention floor.) Some of the super delegate shenanigans prior to the convention. There was a reason 2016 was "her turn". It went back to what happened in 2008. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
