Former Obama adviser Anton Gunn from South Carolina joined MSNBC today to discuss the recent surge of socialist Bernie Sanders in the Democrat primary.
Gunn told the liberal channel the people don’t really pick the party’s nominee.
Anton Gunn: “This is what people need to remember. The Democratic Party has a party. The party decides its nominee. The public doesn’t really decide the nominee. The public gets to vote for President of the United States. But people who are active in the party, they decide the nominee… Superdelegates are very influential in the party.”
Sorry Bernie Bros.
On @msnbc, former adviser to @BarackObama @AntonJGunn says the quiet part out loud. The elites of the Democratic Party decide the nominee–not voters
