Ed, the other day my granddaughter asked me how the delegates are selected to attend the various political conventions. I didn’t know the answer, so I asked some of my peers, who didn’t really understand the system. So I wonder if maybe one of your reporters could do an indepth article on how the delegates are selected and who pays for their hotel and transportation. I’m 70 and I’d really like to know. I read The Trentonian every day, so if this article has already been written and I missed it, I apologize. But if not, this would be a great article for everyone to get a better understanding of how these delegates are selected.

Curious

Best we can tell, “delegates” are just a fancy word for “political cronies and their crony friends.” The parties pay their own way. Right? Please?—Ed Note
