According to this post at Frontloading.com, the Nebraska Democratic Party recently decided not to use the May 2016 presidential primary to choose delegates to the Democratic national convention. The Nebraska Democrats didn’t use the primary for this purpose in 2012 or 2008 either. Democrats consider the May presidential primary too late in the season to be useful.
I am a little surprised at the Nebraska Democrats. Have they forgotten about their populist legacy? Was it not Nebraska which produced William Jennings Bryan, the greatest populist of all times? If fact, I believe Nebraska was one of the few states which supported the Populist Presidential ticket in 1892 or at least came in 2nd behind one of the major parties.
But as generations of people change, so do philosophies of people. The average Democrat in Nebraska today would not sound like the Democrat of the day of William Jennings Bryan.
How sad it is for us who hold true populist values.
