(423 posts)100% Wrong. The difference is that a candidate from outside the party decided to try for the party's nomination, accused it of underhanded tactics when the reality was that the campaign didn't bother to pay attention to each state party's rules about primaries or caucuses, misinformed its staff & supporters deliberately to cause chaos and questions about the process. Then afterwards that candidate and his supporters gained unprecedented control over the process of writing the party platform and changing the national party rules (which does NOT affect state party rules), and instead of sticking around to work together to effect greater changes they bailed and started attacking once again, and targeting those same state party rules that have to be changed by the states.
