John: Here’s another cartoon, summing up the “Democratic” Party nomination process. Hillary Clinton got 18 million votes in the primaries – more than any Presidential candidate in American history, but she “lost” the nomination to Obama! How? Well, Hillary got 85% of her delegates in primaries, while Obama got 60% of his delegates in caucuses. Several states held both primary elections and caucuses. In every case, Hillary won the election and Obama won the caucus. How can the same voters in the same state choose 2 different candidates? Simply put, a primary election with the secret ballot is a safe, secure way to vote, while a caucus is a disorderly free-for-all, easily subject to fraud, coercion and mob rule. Obama’s camp used every means available – legal and illegal – to steal the caucuses. Even in the primaries, the apportioning of delegates was not actually proportionate to the actual vote, and technicalities ended up awarding Obama a disproportionate number of delegates. The result was a travesty and an injustice. The Democratic Party should either overhaul its nominating process, or change their name. To call it the Democratic Party is false advertising. – Jerry Breen
