DNC members discuss rules change to stop Sanders at convention – POLITICO


Well well.

Maybe we should go back to when Donna Brazile was still the acting chair.  You know what I’m talking about.

But let us partake of the brief, but important, history of the Democratic National Committee.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz was the chair of the DNC going into the Philadelphia convention in 2016.

Until it was learned, through emails, that the party, four all of its glory and might, conspired with the Hillary Clinton campaign to circumvent the election process and marginalize Bernie Sanders from primary contention.

Debbie Wasserman Scholes step down as chair of the DNC. Donna Brazil took her place.  Hillary was nominated from the floor.

But now we come to the crux of the matter.  Superdelegates were supposedly put on the back burner in the convention process. Even Donna Brazil said that they were not going to have the power they had in 2016.

However, she went on to Twitter and completely backtracked on the superdelegate issue. She said that even though superdelegates are not going to get a vote on the first ballot, they would have just as much say in the primary and convention process as they had in the past.

Tom Perez, the current chair of the Democratic party, refuted this article profusely. But what more would you expect.

A primary is a very complicated thing. Through multiple tasks and painstaking operations, the Democratic Party may very well have found a way to again circumvent the process.
