I don’t know how to explain to our nation’s top editorial boards that the Democratic Party is an actual organization with a lot of rules and history to it, not just a store that distributes team jerseys, and it has already selected delegates to its nominating convention.

It appears a lot of Americans have explained to the Washington Post and New York Times in recent days they're sick of these daft editorial boards attempting to disenfranchise tens of millions of voters, and accordingly they voted with their feet by cancelling their subscriptions.

“What we need is someone who can annihilate Trump in a debate!” Is everyone under the age of 8?

That's not journalism, or even op-ed. That's just bad fanfic.

In fairness, my guess is that watching “The West Wing” was a formative moment for most of them.

I wish one of them knew the law well enough to know that only Harris can legally use Biden's campaign apparatus and donor dollars --- anyone else has to start from scratch with 4 months to go...

I understand why Aaron Sorkin has his fantastical vision of how politics works. I didn’t think so many people who ostensibly know actual politics would have such a similar view.

Begging people to understand that the presidential ticket is not a baseball roster. You can just shake up the starters for a month and see what happens.

This would be bad if it were one writer. But the Editorial Board of the newspaper for the nation's capital does not even know that the vote on the nomination WON'T EVEN TAKE PLACE IN CHICAGO AT THE CONVENTION!

Both parties make or interpret rules as needed, to suit their interest in the moment. Of course I would prefer the rule of law, but that has been a fiction without normative power for a while now, in this country.

With how weaselly the language of "voters cannot participate but their delegates will" is, I think they're actually trying to acknowledge that this "orderly process" would be "existing pledged Biden delegates released to unpledged and are the only people whose decision matters"

Man, we really need to pay more attention and vote for better columnists the next time Editorial Boards come up for reelection.
