Democratic side is so despicable.

Let people vote. Winning and losing is not the whole point.

The AP and, I strongly suspect, the overly eager Hillary campaign were completely wrong to announce this. Next-to-nothing actually changed. This was announced for psychological effect just to put down California liberal Democrats, to put young voters in their place.

Another nasty, mean act by a certain part of the Democratic Party and the establishment.

How hideous.

This only helps Republicans.
