(24,010 posts)Scenario leading up to or at the convention, I mean. I'm asking you to reconsider June 16 in certain circumstances (mainly, Sanders wins California, Clinton's numbers continue to decline), and extend open debate--support or criticism--on our two primary candidates through the convention. I quote the Robert Parry article which sums up the situation of Sanders' surge and Clinton's declining numbers (& dark cloud of pending FBI report) and credible reports of fear among some powerful Democrats that her campaign is "in freefall."
June 16 to the convention may be a period of great uncertainty about Clinton, even if she reaches pledged delegate#. We don't want a situation where Party powers are considering alternatives--Biden, Warren, Kerry or others--and we can't advocate for them, or promote Sanders, or say why we think Clinton should be dumped, or retained, because of the new rules here. DU should be part of this important debate.
