I wonder if they realize how many people are leaving the Democratic Party now. Just heard that so many in each Party have switched to Independent. The numbers left for Democrats is 29% and 23% and the Independents out number both Parties! I will be one of them depending on the outcome of this election because if this Party keeps doing as it is now I don't feel I belong nor do I feel they even want so many of us.
These numbers are really bad, especially for Democrats who have always had very high numbers. THIS is what the DLC started which has now turned into the Third Way Democrats. I joined a Democratic Party I believed in, not this stuff I'm seeing. The numbers do tell the story clearly!

Hmm that'd be chaos. Wouldn't require the release of all HRC's Superdelegates?
