  • “The Return of the Brokered Convention? Democratic Party Rules and Presidential Nominations.”
    “The Return of the Brokered Convention? Democratic Party Rules and Presidential Nominations.” By Rick Farmer State of the Parties 2009 October 15-16 Akron OH Front loading, proportional representation and super delegates are changing the dynamic of the Democratic presidential nomination. Since 1976 capturing the early momentum was the key ingredient to winning. Barack Obama’s nomination in 2008 demonstrates how these three forces are converging to re-write the campaign playbook. Front loading created a 2008 Super Tuesday that approached national primary day status. Proportional delegate allocations kept the race close when another system might have put the delegate count out of reach; and with a different result. Super delegates made the final decision. The 2008 Democratic presidential contests produced, in effect, a brokered convention. Without reform, many more brokered conventions appear to be in their future. Below is a discussion of how the reforms of the 1970s and 80s combine to produce this perfect storm. Then, the 2008 campaign illustrates the effects. The major reform proposals are examined. Finally some conclusions are drawn. Reforms of the 1970s and 80s American political parties grant their nomination to a single candidate at a national convention. Both the Republican Party and the Democratic Party nominations can be won with a simple majority of the delegates. Delegates are pledged through a series of caucuses and primaries. Both parties are following similar calendars but Republican Party rules result in a different type of contest than Democratic Party rules. Parties have met in quadrennial national conventions for the purpose of selecting a presidential nominee since 1832.

    How to Win the Democratic Nomination, and Why It Could Get Complicated - The New York Times 27/02/2020 1434 https://nyti.ms/37JW1OY How to Win the Democratic Nomination, and Why It Could Get Complicated Bernie Sanders says winning a plurality of delegates is good enough for the nomination. His rivals say a majority is needed. What does that mean? And why are superdelegates coming up again? By Matt Stevens Feb. 22, 2020 The last question at Wednesday night’s Democratic debate covered much wonkier territory than the fiery exchanges that preceded it. But it exposed a rift over what could become an extremely relevant topic: how the party’s presidential nominee should be chosen. “There’s a very good chance none of you are going to have enough delegates to the Democratic National Convention to clinch this nomination,” the moderator Chuck Todd told the candidates. “Should the person with the most delegates at the end of this primary season be the nominee even if they are short of a majority?” Every four years, pundits imagine such a scenario. But with eight Democrats still in the 2020 race, several of whom could split the available delegates, the premise may be more than theoretical this time around. Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont was the only candidate to agree that, in his words, “the person with the most votes” should get the nomination. This was not surprising given that he is currently the front-runner and — at least at the moment — appears to be the candidate most likely to win a plurality, but perhaps not a majority, of pledged delegates.

  • President Trump's First 100 Days
    MAY 10, 2017 PRESIDENT TRUMP’S FIRST 100 DAYS Throughout the 2016 presidential campaign, candidate Donald Trump pledged himself to a government reform agenda, including “drain the swamp,” “America First,” and cutting regulations and taxes. His stated priorities included repealing and replacing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) also known as Obamacare, aggressively enforcing the nation’s borders and immigration laws, and reversing Obama administration policies designed to combat climate change. Just before his election, he issued a 100-day action plan.1 Since taking office on January 20, 2017, President Trump has acted on that plan. In response, California Senate President pro Tempore Kevin de León and other state Democratic leaders have strongly rebuked aspects of President Trump’s agenda as being counter to the state’s economic interests and efforts to improve health care coverage, protect the environment, and seek comprehensive immigration reform. Senate legislation has been introduced to protect California’s laws, and Senate committees are conducting hearings to highlight where the state and the federal government have conflicting viewpoints. In addition, the Senate Office of Research is monitoring federal issues. This report highlights key actions and events during the Trump administration’s first 100 days. 1 https://assets.donaldjtrump.com/_landings/contract/O-TRU-102316-Contractv02.pdf and https://www.donaldjtrump.com/press-releases/donald-j.-trump-delivers-groundbreaking-contract-for­ the-american-vote1. 1 100 DAYS OVERVIEW As of April 29, 2017, President Trump’s 100th day in office, he had not signed any major legislation advancing his agenda despite Republicans having control of the presidency and both houses of Congress.
