QUESTION: Would Sanders want to change the rules if he had won the dem primary?

Do you think Sanders would want to change the rules if he had won the dem primary?

If yes are there any indicators from the beginning where he had indicated the rules weren't working for the dem primary?


Thx in advance for your input


My take, no... he would NOT want to change the dem primary rules if he had won the dem primary... I didn't hear him adamantly want the rules changed from the beginning either.

All this is after the fact and some of it isn't making any sense like open primaries where reThugs could have undue influence on a dem candidate.

regards

Sanders cares, he's wanting primary rule changes uponit7771 Jun 2016 #4
He has no power. He lost. Are you incapable of ignoring things? Vinca Jun 2016 #6
Red herring, he doesn't have to have power he can have influence and right now he's using uponit7771 Jun 2016 #7
Baloney. Bernie didn't have any power with Democrats on day one and he doesn't have it now. Vinca Jun 2016 #8
Strawman, never said he had to have power or he did... I did mention influence... nice try uponit7771 Jun 2016 #9

It is odd how they keep dredging up stuff instead of "focusing on the General and Trump" Armstead Jun 2016 #17
you already know the answer. of course he wouldn't. niyad Jun 2016 #2
He doesn't want to change the bulls*** rules that helped him, so NO, he wouldn't. CrowCityDem Jun 2016 #3
ah, you mean the caucus rules? .... didn't know that... yeah, this is looking more like sour grapes uponit7771 Jun 2016 #5
Yup. He never says a word about caucuses, even though he wants 'everyone' to vote. CrowCityDem Jun 2016 #12

... that to change primary rules that he agreed to in the beginning AFTER he lost.

Looks like he doesn't want to chage the caucus rules though... those are for the privileged
