Gonzalez Uncut

Here is the extended interview with DNC member and superdelegate Jaime Gonzalez Jr.

Jaime Gonzalez Jr.

He is a litigation attorney from McAllen, Texas (a city of 100,000 which sits on the southeast Texas border with Mexico).  And more importantly for this conversation, he is a member of the influential Rules & Bylaws Committee of the DNC.  He is the only committee member from Texas.

And before he votes on whether to include FL and MI delegates at the party national convention in Denver, he sat down with me for an interview.

It's a revealing look at the process and at his unenviable position on the committee.

Great Interview Questions Tom.
Mr. Gonzalez gave clear answers and seems very aware of the process.
Overall, Impressive.
I sensed that there is no argument that warrants reversal of the penalty, although he will listen objectively. He also stated that FL and MI did have an opportunity to re-do within the window afforded by the DNC rules and did not. Based on those assessments,why are they petitioning the Rules and Bylaws Committee?
I would wager Mr. Gonzalez is making vacation plans for immediately after the decision is handed down.
