Democrats move closer to significantly altering their presidential nominating process
CNN via MSN ^ | March 29, 2022 | By Dan Merica, CNN

Numerous members of the Democratic National Committee's Rules and Bylaws Committee expressed support during a virtual meeting on Monday for a draft proposal that would dramatically remake the party's 2024 presidential nominating process.

The draft proposal would end the Democratic Party's current nominating process structure -- where the Iowa caucuses go first, followed by primaries in New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina -- and instead implement a process that would prioritize more diverse battleground states that choose to hold primaries, not caucuses. The new structure would require states to apply to hold early nominating contests and the rules committee would select "no more than five states to be allowed to hold the first determining stage in their presidential nominating process."

If passed, the proposal would represent the most serious threat to Iowa's first-in-the-nation status, given the largely White state is no longer a battleground and is legally required to hold caucuses.

Most members who spoke at the meeting endorsed the plan, with only slight skepticism coming from members in current early states.

Committee member Maria Cardona, a Democratic strategist and CNN political commentator, highlighted the need for the "party of diversity" to "actually implement a process that is trustworthy and open and transparent that also reflects all of the diverse communities that we say that we represent."

The next steps in the process are another Rules and Bylaws Committee meeting in April and then virtual public hearings. The full Democratic National Committee needs to vote on this change, and the goal of the rules committee is to have the proposal ready by the next DNC meeting, which is expected to happen in August or September.

You mean they won’t again have 37 people running, only to choose the oldest white guy among them, because otherwise, the other oldest white guy would get the nomination.

Dunno why they’re expending the energy. Their system already stacks the deck deeply in favor of whoever the Party overlords decide to force on the country.

Booty-Gig is a lock for 2024.
Take that to the bank.

Hold the nominating caucus or primary only in San Francisco, Chicago, New York, and LA. That would bring in all their diversity, with big numbers of homosexuals, Hispanics, black, etc. If the goal is really to showcase all this diversity in the party, their people are found primarily in big city areas nowadays. Go for it.

And if all that doesn’t work, they’ll just make more changes at the last minute to make sure they get who they want.

They want to give Garlin Gilchrist and Mayor Pete the stage. There won’t be any women of any color.

Worried about someone other than a Deep State stooge.

That has always been the process. For both parties.

That’s my guess too. I don’t think he has much of a chance (even with cheating)

What a joke. The Dem overlords will appoint their chosen candidate. Democratic voters are less than dog shit on their shoes.

Are they trying to find a way to help them replace Biden with Hillary? I know she has said she’s not running, but she’s a liar.

Well, if you want all that “diversity”, which includes homosexuality, then Pete is the guy.

And he and his boyfriend had adopted two infants, so they can do the whole family values thing with these homosexual men. So there’s that.

But I’m still confused, why it would be, if Joe isn’t the nominee in 2024, why isn’t Kamala the presumed candidate? What happens to Kamala, if they are looking at others for 2024?

Because nominating increasingly sociopathic individuals has finally started to backfire on them?

“...instead implement a process that would prioritize more diverse battleground states...”

Never spent much time in Iowa, New Hampshire or South Carolina, but Nevada seemed pretty diverse to me. Ever been to Vegas? All types of people there.

Then again, Democrats do not want diversity of opinion, just diversity of skin color.
