Yes, that is the way it works, but has nothing to do with the electoral college when it comes to selecting nominees. The RNC and DNC make, change, and ignore their own rules.
Bernie is in the same boat.

Hopefully people will wake up and see how rigged the system has become - bought and payed for.
But I doubt it.

You're right and I wasn't very clear. I was using the electoral college as an example of how the nomination system is setup. If functions much the same way, "representatives" do the selecting.

If a remeber correctly, more than a couple folks at the constitutional convention expressed their worry about the potential for corruption when using an electoral college/representative election process.

Hell, up until 1913, we didn't even elect United States Senators by popular vote. Prior to that even they were elected by representatives (which at that point were actual elected representatives in the form of the state legislatures).
