Of course you have.

You Clintonistas have infiltrated every nook and cranny of this electoral system.

No wonder so many of Bernies voters are turned away at the polls because they have been mysteriously disappeared from the voter rolls, or had their registrations changed so that they are ineligible to vote.

If you're going to rig an election, ya gotta have plenty of people on the inside.

That makes a YOOJ difference especially here in CA.

Perhaps I am a bit.

However, I would submit to you that the real delusional ones are those that accept our electoral system as fair without question.

Remember, I was in Florida during the 2000 election.

There were all kinds of shenanigans being pulled by the Bush machine there.

Do I think the Clinton machine would do something similar?

Absolutely I do.

Absolutely I do.
And also in the face of an abundance of supporting evidence.

And why not? Any legally eligible voter should be able to vote in the primary election for a party of their choosing. One vote to be cast for the candidate they support. Isn't the intent of the primary to whittle down the number of candidates so that we will not have a situation like CA where Schwarzenegger got elected governor?

Is a two party (and no more) enshrined in the constitution?

Which is probably why Texas has open primaries.

We have two parties that have a stranglehold on our political system.

They have the only game in town until all the choices have been narrowed down to two.

And yet 40% of our registered voters are registered as independents.

They are locked out of closed primaries.
