Donna Brazile: My mama taught me to follow the rules

Said at the rules committee meeting prior to the 2008 Democratic Convention. This was in reference to the delegates being stripped from Michigan and Florida for breaking party rules and holding their primaries earlier than the dates set by the DNC.

IIRC, the rules committee allowed all the delegates to be seated, but only gave them half-votes. Ultimately by the time of the convention Obama had enough of a lead that he would win even if they had their full vote, so the rules committee allowed them the full vote after all.

To bad they decided to forget this moral outrage this cycle, or we would have a different Democratic nominee and it would be no contest. Instead they decided that this time, ignoring and changing the rules would be the preferred methodology, the only method possible to make their friend 'win' the primary, leaving us with a 50/50 chance of president Trump, and a 100% chance of another 4 years of partisan deadlock and further division. The Republicans are already saying that if she wins, they'll be fine with only 8 justices for 4 years and won't even hold hearings on nominees.
If not for the likely alternative this cycle, I would say the Democrats deserve to lose and absolutely should not be rewarded for the underhanded bullshit they pulled. Lucky for them, the Republicans have countered her with the only person they could find that's almost certainly worse in every way, and a bunch of congressmen/women that support him. The dems have certainly lost my support until they clean house and figure out some reparation...maybe a pre-emptive backing of Sanders for president in 2020?
Before someone tries to spout some b.s. to try to shame me, a no vote for Clinton is NOT a vote for Trump.
