Former Obama Adviser: Democratic Party Elites Decide the Nominee, Not Voters

Supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders were surprised to see establishment Democrats saying the quiet part out loud—that the nominating process isn’t decided by voters, according to Anton Gunn, a former adviser to President Obama.

The former South Carolina state representative said on MSNBC that party elites decide who becomes the nominee, not the public.

“I will say that Bernie is moving the goalpost,” he said. “This is what people need to remember: The Democratic Party has a party. The party decides its nominee. The public doesn’t really decide the nominee. The public gets to vote for president of the United States, but people who are active in the party, who participate in the party, they decide the nominee.”

He continued: “Superdelegates are very influential in the party. Also, delegates are very influential. And just because you’re a pledged delegate for Bernie Sanders or a pledged delegate for Joe Biden doesn’t mean when you get to the convention floor that you’ll stay a delegate for Biden or Sanders. It’s a process.”

There’s a very good chance that Sanders may not be the nominee. I think the GOP needs to hold their fire until there’s a nominee on the other side

Indeed.  I've always assumed the voters are at the bottom of this pyramid scheme.  "If voting really changed things, it would be illegal."

True
But Democrat Party Law is, you are never supposed to say it outloud.
That woman is in big trouble with the Democrats.
