Democrats Will Continue to Meddle in Primaries, Leadership Says

Democratic leadership is standing by its practice of getting involved in party primaries before any votes are cast.

A new round of criticism directed at party leadership was sparked Thursday whenaudio of leadership telling a Colorado candidate to step aside for its preferred candidate was released by the Intercept. The leaked audio gave new ammunition to liberal organizations such as MoveOn.org, whichdemanded the party commit to waiting for votes to be cast before picking sides.

Rep. Steny Hoyer (D., Md.), the leadership member showcased in the audio, said on Friday that the party will not make any changes, according to Roll Call.

"Leadership requires trying to make recommendations that you think will be the most effective," Hoyer said. "So I don’t think we’re dissuaded from that."

Perez and Ellison just put in Democrat leadership just to trick progressives that the party is moving left but Clinton and the old guard really in charge.

Think of it as a political pre-season draft process. They're picking their team.
