Where did I say she was ahead only because of super delegates? What I did say was that super delegates are different from regular delegates in the Democratic Party. So please get angry about more made up delusions.Sure. Being chosen is winning. Ask any beauty pageant winner. Of course, the other nominees are chosen as well, and in the same manner. The only difference is that Republican and Democratic delegates, except for Democratic super-delegates, are voted for.Gary Johnson wins Libertarian presidential nomination at party convention - CNNPolitics.comLibertarians on Sunday selected former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson as their party's presidential nominee, at their party convention in Orlando, Florida.
Johnson was the party's nominee in 2012 and once again won the position despite backlash from the party's more radical Libertarian wing.
In the first round of voting, Johnson reached 49.5 percent of the vote, according to the official party total, just shy of the majority needed for victory. His nearest opponents, Austin Petersen and John McAfee, reached 21 and 14 percent respectively. On the second round of voting, Johnson clinched the nomination with 55.8 percent of the vote.
The Libertarian Party retains its status as a backup plan for failed Republican politicians by nominating Johnson again, and likely nominating Bill Weld for his running mate. At this point, it's time for the Libertarian Party to rebrand since they seem to be more interested in nominating Republican cast-offs than anybody interested in libertarianism.
Wins? Was there a primary?
He was chosen, which is fine. But he also didn't have to go through the process the other candidates did.
She isn't ahead because of super delegates. She's ahead because she had more votes and a lot more pledge delegates.
But please tell more lies.
