Republican Super Delegates

[rwork]

Still can't find why there are'nt any.
I found Democratic SD were created in 1982 to maybe take away a little power from party bosses and give back to the people.
Simplistic and I am sure there is more to it then that.

3. EHHH! sorry mcctatas you couldn't be more wrong

I take my fingers and type "Republican superdelegates" into THE GOOGLE

Let's see what we find shall we?

The Republican Party also seats some party officials as delegates without regard to primary or caucus results, but the term "superdelegate" is most commonly applied only in the Democratic Party.

4. Wow...

thanks for the correction, I was probably fooled by the big deal they were making about how "undemocratic" super delegates are on FOX...just figured the pukes didn't have them because ED never mentioned any...that'll show me to get ANY info from FAUX! Thanks again! :hi:

2. Oh they have them here in Montana. They had a closed caucus, Only a select few delegates

were allowed to attend the caucus.

Life long Republicans weren't allowed to attend if they weren't on the list.

Far worse than what we are doing.
