pre-Democratic convention discussion LATEST: Sanders supporters protesting

[Coolface Sock #42069]

Interesting that Brown and Kaine are the only swing state 2018 Senators speaking.

Casey doesnt count?

Though I think he will do fine, he is fairly popular even in some of the rural areas compared to other dems

For some reason I thought Casey was up in 2020. My mistake.
Casey is up in 2018. Pat Toomey's the one up this year.

Proposal to eliminate supers was defeated in rules committee but could end up on the floor via minority report

Gross. Dems are asking for trouble here. It's blatantly obvious that superdelegates have outlived their usefulness (actually, they've never had any to begin with.)

If they're ever so desperate that they're willing to disregard democracy and cause a massive clusterf**k, they could just unbind the delegates altogether. So I really don't see what purpose the supers serve.

I think the Republicans have given us a prime example of why Democrats have superdelegates.
