Should superdelegates or delegates as a whole be abolished?

Sgt Aaron Kennedy, MS - Have you ever met that one Marine who was too damn smart? If you haven't go look in the mirror and tell him hello.

Not quite flawed. Mickey D's tells me to vote for Ronald being he's representing Mickey D's. So me believing they have the best whatever I do do that. Where the confusion comes in is they tally the votes, move them to the side, and say we really want Ronaldette to represent us. So you have voided millions of votes, only to listen to....stakeholders (superdelegates)?

Absolutely not. The NFL draft was this week, and every team won....except America. The 2016 Presidential draft class is nothing but busts. Bernie is my lone holdout. Not that he is good, but that his ideas will form policies in some way or fashion later on. He will be studied for decades to see was he really that far off. To me that makes him the "winner".

We have Trump as a serious candidate for office. He should be commissioned, and his name changed to GEN. Mayhem. That's all we'd get from him.

SSG Warren Swan - Almost exactly right, except change Stakeholders to Shareholders. Everyone is a stakeholder (interest), only McD's is Shareholders (vested interest).

SSG Warren Swan - It sounds like you are finally realizing how the presidential elections work and are upset about it. Welcome to the knowing minority.

It's interesting how this comes up in some form every election season, but it's sort of a huge deal suddenly now that people are actually following the elections.

MCPO Roger Collins - but in this case, they don't matter. If it REALLY is the "will of the people" then WE effect change....with or without them.

SSG Warren Swan - Not following you, Swannie. The only direct effect we have is with local elections and even those are controlled by state D & R establishments. If you see a way, other than anarchy, like to hear it.

MCPO Roger Collins - Politicians use ads to "beat" the other down. What is there to stop the populace from using the most powerful tool out there (social media) to get the message out? I'm not the smartest, but making the parties explain the hard questions without being able to use the usual political double talk. Sooner or later the lamestream media outlets would have to pick up on it, and in turn they'll force the hands of the establishment to explain how a "simple" process became perverted and misunderstood. Make them tell us how are you of the people, for the people, but don't respect the will of the people. In 2014 that was the GOP's calling card when they took over congress. I reckon they forgot that part when they got in. Dems are no better. It doesn't have to be anarchy, but we all know there is one fool in the bunch that will make a mountain out of a molehill.

MCPO Roger Collins - I too defer to the Constitution. But primaries are strictly party and State issues. The Constitution does not come to bear here.

So what do you think is the solution? Either we do away with the whole delegate system, or bind them to the people regardless of the number of ballots at the conventions?
