Paraphrasing and consolidating the message from the video. Watch to the end.
The media has created the perception that the voters choose the nominee. That's the conflict here. "Then why hold the primaries?" "That's a very good question"......................

We could say the same about the super delegates on the Democratic side! This is stupid; it is no wonder Trump is on the rise or that Sanders had a good following! This year's election is clearly showing us how much disrespect our politicians have for their own voters.

What he says is true. The voters only get to lobby the delegates to support their candidate. It is a private organization that gets the final say. I guess you could run as an independent and not rely on any delegates to get on the final ballot.
What I find hilarious is how upset all the Trumpers are about this. Where was all this pearl clutching outrage when Ron Paul supporters were screwed at the RNC in 2008?
I was never a Ron Paul supporter, but I have many friend who were, some were even at the RNC for the floor votes. Paul's people got screwed and all those "establishment" types stuck together. Yet now all the Trumpers are crawling out of the woodwork raising their fists in revolt.
If you think you are going to get the Ron Paul supporters backing for your outrage, I don't think you should hold your breath. And I salute them for that!!

Oh BTW, RP was NEVER a front runner so your point is moot.
