Well, there was more diversity in the Democratic field being offered up, but the people voted for the old farts over the others.
So what's next in terms of the primaries?
Snip:
"As our country deals with the uncertainty of COVID-19, it is critical that states provide clarity and not confusion, which could lead to disenfranchising voters. In order to ensure the voices of voters are heard, the DNC is urging the remaining primary states to use a variety of other critical mechanisms that will make voting easier and safer for voters and election officials alike.
The simplest tool is vote by mail, which is already in use in a number of states and should be made available to all registered voters," DNC chair Tom Perez said in a statement on Tuesday.
"That's why states that have not yet held primary elections should focus on implementing the aforementioned measures to make it easier and safer for voters to exercise their constitutional right to vote, instead of moving primaries to later in the cycle when timing around the virus remains unpredictable," he added.
But, so far, seven states have postponed their primaries amid coronavirus COVID-19 safety concerns and more are expected to follow suit.
