And we should both remind those that chant that there are so many registered Democrats (and perhaps growing during 2016 election season) as a testament that this party is doing the right thing for people, we should remind them of the factor that has so many registering as Democrats is us wanting to nominate Bernie that nullifies that line of reasoning. Ask them to clarify those statistics for those states that have open primaries and those that don't to really see if the Democrats are "growing" as a party in open primary states.
