(23,864 posts)About a year or two ago, I was trying to find out just how the Democratic party got filled with such poor representatives. I mean, that's a great question, isn't it? To wonder where it all started to go sideways. Anyway, I started looking at exactly how candidates received Democratic endorsements. Turns out, it really depends on the area. They can either be thorough or lax, it's all up to how they want to run the show in that area.
And there's the kicker.
I actually had real trouble finding much in the way of questionnaires, for instance, that candidates had to fill out/answer in as part of the process, for instance. Mostly, it essentially comes down to "I promise to be a good Democrat and look at these other people who support me."
