Politico: DNC considering rule change to allow super delegates on first ballot

[Fiendish Thingy]

Wow. They really don’t want Bernie.

If they do this, they will guarantee that Trump is re-elected.

1. So you're gonna change the rules in the middle of the game?

[polichick]

2. I guess Bernie is running just to instill ideas into the electorate...

Of course he knew the powers that be would never let him win.

3. "A small group"

A dozen DNC members could try to push a rules change to install a golden donkey on the moon. It doesn't make it likely to happen or even newsworthy. Why the tweeter and Politico chose to highlight the ramblings of a few members out of 200+ is beyond me? However, I wouldn't trust their intentions.

The article even puts their numbers at 6. 6 out of 200+ is not representative of the whole DNC and an editor should ashamed for letting that insinuation in the headline.

4. I saw that too but also dont think it takes much more than a small group to get a rule

Change like that to happen.

6. Just getting folks primed to scream "rigged" if they lose again.

8. It would create more trouble than it's worth, I'm hoping.

7. Perez says the idea is crazy and will never happen.

He's right about the crazy part. We'll need to take his word that the party wouldn't try something so divisive and self destructive.

9. They better not

Talk about playing into a "rigged election" narrative. It's hard to be more obvious than changing the rules in midstream to obviously hurt one candidate if too many Democratic voters are rallying to him.

I recognize that this is allegedly a small group considering this, and as of now nothing has been changed. But in truth it would just take a relatively "small group" in the leadership of the Democratic Party to change the rules if they so desire. If this is a trial balloon I hope it is shot down decisively.

11. the DNC passed a bylaw after the 2016 election to not allow anyone to run under the dem flag

Without pledging to the dem party! Sure wish they would have stick to that... we wouldn’t be here if they had...sad!!

[question everything]

12. Wonderful. Time to show the outsiders that, unless they join us, they should not dictate the term

I may thank the DNC.. May even contribute
