Superdelegates offsetting the results of primaries is unconstitutional IMHO

66. I would really like to believe Democrats would never do this (sincerely)

But in 2000, I never thought the Supreme Court would take on the 2000 election because it had zero Constitutional authority to decide a state's Presidential election, providing the state had its election law embedded in its state constitution and was following those rules. The Florida Supreme Court should have been the last word on this.

So I am pretty cynical about what really matters to politicians, and I think it is the "win at all costs" motto that followed George W. Bush*s campaign throughout. It is the money, the power, the hubris to drive some politicians to unethical heights. And they don't really care what the voters think, because we are nothing to them. The Congress has a decision to make, a public poll has been taken saying 70 percent of the American people want this, that or the other, but the Congress does what it wants to do, often in deference to the billionaire backing their campaigns and goes counter to the public's opinion.

I think you did a great job in posting this, and I am hoping that I am wrong to think Dems would never subvert the outcome of the popular vote in favor of an establishment candidate. And perhaps as a few people have said, this probably won't come up. We will have to wait and see.

Thank you so much for posting on my thread.
