Dems near decision on superdelegates

Yup a "near decision".

A year before the 2020 presidential campaign begins kicking into high gear, Democrats are still squabbling over what to do about superdelegates.

It’s a big fight for Democrats trying to piece together their splintered party following the grueling 2016 primary between Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).

“The Sanders folks want the superdelegates gone,” said one Democratic National Committee (DNC) member. “They still believe he would have won if the system was designed differently.”

The DNC is edging closer to a solution that would scale back the power of superdelegates, though DNC Chairman Tom Perez is facing criticism from members of Congress who want to keep their clout.

Them damn "Sanders folks".

Those opposed to superdelegates argue the office holders can stack the deck against an anti-establishment candidate. Those in favor of them say it is important to give party leaders a stake in the primary, and that can work to prevent a candidate like Donald Trump from taking over.

“I understand what the perception is, but I also understand what the facts are,” Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-N.Y.), who wants to retain the old rules, said in an interview.

Meeks and other lawmakers have met with Perez to push back on his proposed changes to the system.

“We didn’t leave with any animosity,” Meeks said. “This is politics. It is what it what is.”

Your perception ain't "facts". I'm the Party and I'm here to protect you from yourselves.

Bob Mulholland, a DNC member from California, said the issue is only being debated because the Sanders supporters have forced the DNC to talk about the delegate selection process for the past 18 months.

“It’s embarrassing, to be frank,” Mulholland said. “I don’t know one family in America that’s talking about delegate selection over dinner. It’s just a distraction, and it’s so typical of Democrats.”

I think Bob should get our of CA more often. “It’s embarrassing, to be frank,”

This will not end well for those that believe in liberty and the true principals of what was the Democratic Party.

Just sayin"
