superdelegates

[peach174]

Hillary won the popular vote in her party last go round but lost the election.

Yeah because Obama got most of the super delegates.
Now she is doing the same thing against Sanders.

It's how both parties can control who becomes the nomination for President. It is the parties that decide who is desirable or undesirable to run or not.

Nope. Republicans don't have super delegates.

Bullshit. Read the cite in the OP or provide us with proof of your statement.

He didn't post any content so I can't read it and your ignorance isn't my problem.

If you're going to just lie about something that easily debunked, ignorance isn't strong enough to describe your level of imbecility. I guess 'useless troll' would come the closest.

What did you debunk?

Wouldn't it be funny if it happened again to Hillary?

I posted a thread above yours saying they do .. Rove ring a bell ?....dial back your ignorance a tad.

You posted a thread? No, dumb fuck, you posted a post. That's why it's called a "post", you are posting in a "thread". And you were too stupid to find the relevant content so you expected others to do it for you.

Didn't say I did. Waiting for the proof of what you're saying. Until we get it,consider yourself debunked by the OP.

Dims, why not just come out and openly embrace fascism. It will make your arguments much more logical and coherent.

Consider yourself owned and notice, if you can, that I don't throw out a link and expect others to do my homework for me.

Superdelegate 101


A primer for Democratic-party watchers.

Political historian Alvin Felzenberg took some questions from National Review Online editor Kathryn Lopez in the run-up to the Potomac Primary, which is expected to put Barack Obama further ahead of former “inevitable” nominee Hillary Clinton. She is still a woman with a plan, Felzenberg warns.

Lopez: Why don’t Republicans have superdelegates?

Felzenberg: Republicans do not have superdelegates because they remain faithful to one old-fashioned conservative principle. They believe that, if one is to select presidential nominees after holding primaries with limited turnouts, those who bother to vote, and not invisible elders who presume to know better than voters, should determine presidential nominees. Republican-party rules provide for the appointment of three additional persons to a state delegation after they have been selected. These individuals enjoy the same rights and privileges of the other delegates. They number less than 200.

GOP rules allow for ... 'superdelegates,' with more than half of state parties exercising the option to make their chairman, national committeewoman and national committeeman automatic delegates," Republican strategist and Bush official Karl Rove wrote last year. "These uncommitted delegates, 210 in all, could be the most fluid force in the convention if no candidate has locked in victory."


superdelegates are like a hammer between the eyes to Republicans...


the stupid op deserves one btw ..

is this within the purview of the supreme court if a case came to them ??

 

[washamericom]

IOW, it's a way to rig the system.


It's like I have been telling all you noobs here at USMB.

Democracy is an illusion. You have no control.

mayor sanders what do you think of the super delegates ?

 

[washamericom]

Feel the burn, Bernie.

Yes
When we were a Republic the Constitution works, we the people were in control.
It has been changed to a Democracy and now it is not working and the elites in both parties are now in control.

would we still be a democratic republic ??

and what is bernie planning to do with the top one or ten percenters' wealth ?? just reallocate it?? that's atlas shrugged.


income disparity ?? WTF ?? how much more does hillary make than her lowest paid staffer ?

doesn't george soros spend any more dough on politics ? powerful lobbies and unions ??

if the is a god, one democrat will come out and own it, for a change we can believe in.

what about overpaid actors in hollywood, most of them are democrat/liberals ...

can't really work if you tell people you're conservative, how is that different than blacklisting, i think it rises to the level of discrimination, that can be against the law.

Yes they do in a way. They just do it differently.
All delegates to the Republican National Convention are elected in state primaries. The Democrats have "super delegates", who are mostly elected officials who are free to cast their ballots for any candidate they choose.

mostly elected, that's like healthcare for everyone, or scientific consensus.

superdelegates are like super hero action figures for the democrats:


A "superdelegate" or an "unpledged delegate" is a delegate to the Democratic National Convention or Republican National Convention that is seated automatically, based on their status as current (Republican and Democratic) or former (Democratic only) party leader or elected official. Other superdelegates are chosen during the primary season. Democratic superdelegates are free to support any candidate for the nomination. This contrasts with convention delegates that are selected based on the party primaries and caucuses in each U.S. state, in which voters choose among candidates for the party's presidential nomination.

Although "superdelegate" was originally coined and created to describe this type of Democratic delegate, the term has become widely used to describe these delegates in both parties,[1] even though it is not an official term used by either party.

For Democrats, superdelegates fall into two categories:

• delegates seated based on other positions they hold, who are formally described (in Rule 9.A) as "unpledged party leader and elected official delegates"[2](unpledged PLEO delegates); and
• additional unpledged delegates selected by each state party (in a fixed predetermined number), who are formally described (in Rule 9.B) as "unpledged add-on delegates" and who need not hold any party or elected position before their selection as delegates.[2]

For Republicans, there are generally 3 unpledged delegates in each state, consisting of the state chairman and two RNC committee members. However, according to the RNC communications director Sean Spicer, convention rules obligate those RNC members to vote according to the result of primary elections held in their states. [3]

A common criticism is that unpledged delegates could potentially swing the results to nominate a candidate that did not receive the majority of votes during the primaries.


watch for DWS to start changing things around. if i was in a union and conservative i'd be pissed, how they spend my dues.

btw, beyonce sucks. all that music is canned you know, it's the half value two for one millie vanilli halftime show.

meh... i think they should get rid of the whole EC thing... then we wouldn't have had baby bush as president.

but until then, this is what it is. sometimes it works for you....sometimes it doesn't.
