You don't get it. A primary means that we were to make a choice as to who we wanted to nominate for the candidacy. Therefore, it follows that ALL OF THE CANDIDATES' NAMES SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE BALLOT. The missing candidates were told the election was "illegal" and withdrew their names. The fact that it was "illegal" apparently meant nothing to Clinton OR HER SUPPORTERS who must have figured that would be even better for them and they'd get all the votes. What other rationale fits?
The ballot in question SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN PERMITTED BY THE ELECTED OFFICIALS NOTWITHSTANDING THAT HILLARY WAS EITHER THE SMARTEST ONE OR THE STUPIDEST ONE. They should have been looking out for US, for ME, for everyone else who candidate was not on the ballot regardless of who withdrew their names. This was early and we should have had the same choices that NH or Iowa had, which was the reason we were having an early vote - so that the choice would not be made before we got our chance to choose.
The election was a dud, and the ballot was a bigger dud.
In plain words, my elected officials didn't give a damn about me and I feel the same about them. If it were the other way around, and HC's name was left off, I would feel the same way, that it wasn't fair to say who won without ALL of the names on the ballot whether the primary was legal or illegal.
