This is the first time in many years that people in PA thought that their vote might make a difference in the actual selection so I can see why at least the R-tribe got high turnout (but apparently on the negative side they did not understand that most of their delegates were not bound necessarily to abide by the winner). 

On the D-tribe side I thought the turnout was actually good considering that it appears that even before PA that Hillary had it pretty well wrapped up. Yesterday just put the nail in the coffin to Bernie's bid pending anything HUGE happening on the e-mail front which I think is highly unlikely. 

 

I am fine with the closed primary process, it cuts down on the people trying to sabotage candidates in the other party (like Limbaugh tried in the 08 Dem nomination process).

What amazes me is the number of people who don't understand how this process works, and it has been this way for years

It amazes me the number of people who proudly proclaim themselves as independents, and then indignantly tell one of the two parties how they need to conduct their business.

 
I guess I'm just amazed and indignant.

But I am not ignorant of the distortions created by the overt partisanship and gridlock that our current major political parties, aided by the injection of huge amounts of cash contributed by individuals and corporations along with startlingly biased gerrymandering almost guaranteeing re-election of incumbents, have had an overall negative effect on our government's ability to truly represent the will of the people.
