New York Democrats cancel 2020 primary, kicking Bernie Sanders off the ballot

[The Magistrate]

17. Good To Hear, Sir

The fewer delegates pledged to Sanders are certified for the convention, the less disruption may be contrived. The inability to make mischief is the best assurance none will be made. Personally, I do not fully trust Sanders to behave himself, and would prefer a situation where whether he can be trusted or not is immaterial, because he has been deprived of any ability to do damage. Even if one trusts Sanders, it is certain there will be some among the delegates pledged to him who will be bent upon disruption, and again, the fewer there are, the less chance they can manage real harm. Heaven knows when only one candidate continues in the field, that candidate ought to get all remaining delegates in a bloc.
