Much to do today, not enough time to do it in. So, election-wise, what do we think it's going to be? All the Donald Trump supporters screaming that their guy won it fair and square and had it stolen by Ted Cruz? All the Bernie Sanders supporters yelling that their guy won it but it was stolen by Hillary Clinton? Both? I get the feeling someone's going to insist someone cheated.
Last night, I had a conversation with a Sanders supporter who thinks there's something terribly wrong with a system where Bernie can win the last seven caucuses and primaries and not be way ahead of Hillary. Sanders is probably the guy I most want to see win but I do recognize that he's trailing by a wide margin in delegates — and not that it's the determining factor — total votes as well.
There are a lot of folks out there talking about how the system is unfair and should be changed once their party's convention convenes. These people, of course, are all backing someone who's behind. No one in the lead ever thinks the system is flawed…or if they do, they keep it to themselves. So the question becomes which of the two is less fair: The system as it stands or changing it in mid-game because someone doesn't like the way it's going? I have no answer for this. I'm tempted to wish they'd just do whatever's going to get this election over with sooner.
Whoops! Look at the time! Gotta get ready to go somewhere. Hey, before I skedaddle: How come I can order something from Amazon and they have it here in what seems like twenty minutes…and if I don't like it, I can make like two clicks on their website and send it back for a refund in two minutes…but if they accidentally shorted me an item (I ordered three of something and they delivered two), that takes forever to rectify? And then they don't want to send me the missing item. They want to refund my money and let me order the missing item anew? Strange system. Gotta run. Another installment of "Rejected" tomorrow in this space.
