To the Editor:- Hide quoted text - In the current Democratic party system, a candidate would have to win the primaries and caucuses by more than twenty-five percent to secure the nomination without the superdelegates. In the absence of such a landslide, that twenty percent of unpledged delegates are empowered to choose our candidate. Senator Clinton bet on a strategy that required winning less than forty percent of votes in the primaries and caucuses with the superdelegates to make up the margin. Such a reliance on personal loyalties over the will of the People has served our country poorly for seven years now. It is a sign of health that the leaders of the Democratic party have rejected it.Barry Levine1142 Brown AveLafayette, CA 94549
