If they are willing to SCREW their own delegates, then how can they be trusted to be fair with the general public?

No, I got your point, but I think the decision was made backstage. Prior to the vote. The party bosses made the decision after seeing all the bad press about the issue. They realized that they screwed up and were determined to fix it. It was the delegates that didn't "get it" that caused the awkward moment for the chairman.
