I don’t understand the Texas system, Steve, so, other than a failure of record keeping, I don’t really understand what happened, only that things didn’t go as planned. You should consider a post to explain it for the outside world because the reality of state party rules are ignored by the loudest voices as they support their chosen candidates.

It’s would seem that people are important to the party anymore, and the party will lose as a result, Hipparchia.

The only people the DNC can’t accommodate are Democratic voters.

that would seem to be the truth of it.

While I hope the Democratic nominee wins in November, I hope the DNC loses this lawsuit. Their draconian decision regarding Florida (especially) and Michigan, in light of other states’ being allowed to have early primaries, is an unconscionable violation of equal protection under the law.

Bryan, I am committed long since to vote for the Democratic nominee in November, but as I see the party thinking about whether to tinker with the Texas caucus results, I wonder whether I have a future with my party of three decades. They’d better think long and hard about how they treat their base: as Florida goes, so could Texas go, in a future election. It isn’t right. It isn’t (ahem) democratic.
