You're doing a really, really good job of making my point for me. I suspect the Democrats aren't all that moved by the argument "Trump supporters should be allowed to help pick the Democratic nominee!"

Then the DNC can continue to lose future elections.

I'm not a Trump supporter; I voted against Clinton, and my vote was first to Sanders. I'm happy with my vote; Trump winning has galvanized progressive coalitions in a way that wouldn't have happened if Clinton had won.

Establishment Democrats who aren't progressive enough need to die off faster. Then the Demoractic party might run candidates worth voting for.

It was a scary day when I realized this election could have easily been Trump (D) vs Cruz. Of course, we still got screwed.
