14. Shouldn't this primary debate be about what that platform should be,

Fri Jul 31, 2015, 01:51 AM

Jul 2015

and how it should be implemented?

How can anyone think that "the party platform" is fixed in stone and neither Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, or any other Democratic party candidate, can change or alter it in any way? So this primary campaign is all a charade?
