They wanted to tighten up central control, so they did. And of course, ms clinton is the establishment candidate (as she was in 2008, but the emergence of mr obama threw that on its ear, no one wants to diss the minority candidate). So she is the dem darling now and they're trying to make it happen without being too openly brazen about it, which is pretty obvious.<br /><br />The Rub side, well, they just don't want Trump up there and then lose. And polls /conventional wisdom says he will lose no matter who the Dem nominee is.<br /><br />No it's not truly a democracy, but then Obama is not declaring martial law and himself president for life either, like in so many other countries.brucenoreply@blogger.com
