Common misconception these days. The will of the people is not truly exercised until November. That must not be denied.
Until August, the will of however many, however strange, however errant political parties is up to those political parties.
That’s where we are in the process right now.
Those who have climbed their way to the party leadership have the power to run the party apparatus and manipulate its final ticket. Voters, like shareholders in a corporation, get some input, but the corporate leadership will eventually do what it wants.
Like it or not, that’s what goes on in both parties. All this primary/caucus stuff is just testing the waters, seeing which candidates are palatable to the public.
Unfortunately, this year, both parties are ending up with frightening results. The public is angry, and we humans often think irrationally when enraged. Thus Trump and Bernie. Hillary is a flawed product of party inbreeding.
So that’s how it is. Again, the will of the people rules in November. The will of the parties is in force until then.
Then stop this charade. Let’s just do oligarchy.

Your comment makes me remember that this is how it works in the UK. The Establishment chooses the initial candidates, which in effect removes the choice for REAL change from the people, which is EXACTLY what the Establishment wants.
And here I thought it was different here in America.
They’ve been fooling us for quite some time.
Wasn’t this what 1776 was about?
