Thanks for that one, Wiggen.
The Sanders "it is rigged against us" people are gonna find some way to minimize it.
In the time since that 1989 initiative, Democrats have never utilized the primary as a means of selecting, allocating or binding delegates.

The net result is that Hilary got 53% of the votes but will only get 25% of the delegates to the national convention. Yep, the system sure is rigged.
The Washington primary has been a pointless beauty pageant that has never allocated delegates for years. Decades even...

That is something that bothers me with Sanders supporters. They scream foul with closed primaries, but say nothing about caucuses.
And Bernie has won more caucuses, which is why Sanders supporters say nothing about how unfair they are.Hillary has actually won more open contests than Bernie.

Nothing. I absolutely agree. The question is how to get Sanders supporters to understand that.Bottom line: Hillary Clinton has beaten Bernie Sanders by total raw votes (3 million more raw votes) and beaten him by delegates won (by 270 delegates). She is clearly the winner.
What is the problem with that?
Same story in Nebraska. Low turnout caucuses are the only reason Bernie stayed semi-relevant. He's benefited tremendously from the current system.
