A concern troll is a person who participates in a debate posing as an actual or potential ally who simply has some concerns they need answered before they will ally themselves with a cause. In reality they are a critic.

So, it is understandable that, when Lewis was chair, Sanders would have had little to no contact with SNCC -- which, as its name denotes, was primarily a Southern organization.

Clinton all-around-flunkey Lanny Davis was employed at the time by some of the billionaire oligarchs who were one of the driving forces behind the coup, and the generals themselves had been trained at the school for torturers and assassins at Fort Benning formally known as the School of the Americas..

The responsibility is a matter of degree. It's not an all or nothing affair.

Hillary said in her book that her hope was that in the aftermath of a coup that was internationally
condemned, her hope was that "order would be restored" so that "the question of Zelaya would become moot"..

And the key to playing the game is -- surprise! -- actually learning how to play the game in the first place. Mrs. Clinton's victory in today's caucuses was due to her campaign's ground game, and its ability to identify her supporters, enroll them in the Nevada Democratic Party if they haven't already done so themselves, and then turn them out at today's precinct meetings at the designated hour.

A party caucus is not a primary election run by the state or county, but an internal process that's the sole province and function of the party itself. It is a physical meeting of its members, which is called to order for the expressed purpose of selecting delegates / candidates for an upcoming election / convention, filling a current vacancy in office caused by resignation or death of an official, or making a decision about a given policy matter.

As such, the process is closed to all those who aren't actual members of the party. If a caucus is called statewide, members meet either by precinct or district simultaneously, call their respective meetings to order at the designated time, conduct their business, adjourn their meetings and then call in their decision / results to state party HQ.

In that regard, it doesn't matter at all if Sen. Sanders can turn out 20,000+ to a campaign rally in Las Vegas, since the actual allocation of Nevada's delegates to the upcoming Democratic National Convention was determined today by those 13,000 party members who caucused statewide.

Personally, I'm not a fan of caucuses for the purpose of candidate selection, since the actual voting is restricted to a relative handful of people. From the standpoint of choosing a president, it's not a very democratic process at all.

But because Hawaii is also a caucus state, it's been incumbent upon me to understand how they work so that whenever I called the precinct and district meetings to order during my time as a district or regional chair, I would ensure that the process runs smoothly, it's conducted fairly and openly per party rules, and nobody is there at that meeting who shouldn't be.

When a state party's presidential preference poll is conducted by caucus, a campaign's prospects for success comes down to organization and discipline. If your side has it and the others don't, you're more than likely going to win.

And that's what happened today. And that's also why we've seen occasional surprises in caucus states, when a frontrunner takes things for granted and assumes that his or her supporters will organize themselves and simply show up. Uh-uh. Won't happen. Your campaign literally have to work the room and line up your support at these precinct meetings manually.
