2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)There was no justification for any hardline tactics in support of HRC at the NV Dem convention. [View all]
Even if delegation control had flipped from HRC to Bernie, it wasn't going to make any significant difference in how the overall nominating contest played out.
And there was no reason for anyone to go in and flip the voter registration of those 64 Sanders delegates and use the involuntary flipping as a justification for de-credentialing them.
It simply wasn't worth whatever was gained, and it wasn't worth causing the ugliness and the bitter taste in the mouths of young progressive activists.

False. "Everyone gets a trophy" doesn't apply to delegate math. That's not how the real world works.

That's not specific. You can't offer a floor motion if you are ineligible. I'm not going to explain

Why? Google the rules or ask a Nevada party official to provide you with the handbook.

Of course Clinton wouldn't. She has to be pure as snow called, accused on everything. Real or not. N

They were elected delegates. You're making it sound like some sort of conspiracy was afoot.
