TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE - New York Post
The Democratic superdelegates aren’t about to risk a massive and sanguinary civil war by taking the nomination away from the candidate who won more elected delegates. If they ever tried it, we’d see a repeat of the demonstrations that smashed the 1968 Chicago convention and ruined Hubert Humphrey’s chances of victory.
As usual, Morris lets his emotions - his hatred of the Clintons, specifically - get in the way of historical knowledge.
In fact, the chaotic 1968 Chicago convention did not ruin Humphrey’s chances. The final tally of the 1968 general popular vote was Humphrey, 42.7%, and Nixon, 43.4%. Hardly a steamroller, although the electoral vote difference was considerably wider.
