    more of the people removed about the ultimate candidate actually voted in the primaries

    I want to push back on this. “The people removed” were probably out knocking doors for their candidate with me. It’s just one more insult that moderates use. We don’t have the massive get out the vote machine that the establishment does, but my guess is that the most vocal people are pretty active.

    they may have made a difference

    “May” is doing a whole lot of heavy lifting here.

    The DNC is a private entity able to pick it’s candidate however it deems fit. The primaries are like a basketball game where the refs are wearing the other team’s uniforms.
