The primary is over and Hillary has won the nomination. All discussions about the "wrong choice" being selected is hereby moot since the selection has been made. All that matters is the election ahead.

DWS may have been fired but it looks like she got the job done.

I'm done re-litigating the primary too. Bernie lost and gracefully conceded but a miniscule amount of his dead-ender followers just can't let it go.

We're going to crush that Orange Cheeto in November with or without them.

What job was that? It certainly looks like the job was securing the nomination for HRC and not conducting a fair and open primary process.

This is business as usual in politics, it stinks but it's what we have.

Closed primaries are American Fascism at work.

So, for you, the job of political parties is not to nominate the candidate that the voters want but to nominate the candidate the voters should want?

Good luck and it is a matter of the worse beating the worst, just a question of who is the worst. The race will become real after the end of next week and the anticipated Hillary bump.

In the interim here are some links to ponder:

http://ivn.us/2016/06/15/official-tw...nominees-ever/

http://www.ebony.com/news-views/elec...#axzz4FkWtw6GI

http://www.rantpolitical.com/2015/06...s-of-all-time/

http://www.americanthinker.com/artic...oice_ever.html

http://nationalinterest.org/feature/...all-time-12718

And all you Hillarybots, please don't forget to send a thank you note to Debbie since your are all so happy with the selection of Hillary. The GOP already did last week.

The closed primary states had these rules in place years before Sanders ran
The idea that independents should have had easier access is a crutch. Moreover it suggests that a large portion of Sander's supporters may not have been Democrats anyway. That is the problem when you try to run from the outside.

If you noticed Sanders seemed to do better in the less democratic caucus system.

And there was a ton of time in California for people to get an Dem ballot. That some independents actually registered with an idiotic Independent Party and could not vote for Bernie is ignorance on their part.
And they had plenty of time to change to a Dem ballot. He still lost.

I notice you keep talking about how they picked the wrong candidate as if you are not a Democrat at all. We picked our candidate come hell or high water we are going to beat that grifter in November.
