Rep. Austin Scott, Georgia Republican, said he thinks both parties should follow an honor code to not meddle in each other’s primary processes, but unless that happens, Republicans must follow suit.

If Sanders wants rule changes to future primary processes, Clinton should urge the Democratic National Committee to create a study commission on which his supporters will be represented.

Both major parties engineered their primary processes to avoid a drawn-out ideological battle and create a near-certain nominee by the middle of March, and in both cases the law of unintended consequences has come into play.

“The brain is organized in evolutionary layers, starting with these feelings which we call the primary processes,” he says.
