Bill Clinton fired up over Nevada's strip caucuses

Thank you very much. Sure sounds pretty odd, but at least now I know what they’re talking about.

[Marcella]

I think he picked the figure “5 tmes” out of the air. It’s a matter of convenience: regular people will have to leave home to go to their precinct. Those working in casinos can vote right there. More in casinos will vote due to the convenience. Gives Obama the edge.

[Bob]

Not according to Honest Willy:

“Matthews: ‘’If the culinary workers had not endorsed Obama, would they still be dealing with it?’’
Clinton: ‘’I think that the teachers and the people who are voting in their own precinct would have filed a lawsuit once they found out that the vote counts five (times)...you know, this is a one man, one vote country...And I’m amazed nobody like you..you should be offended by this.’’”

Yeah, right. If he told me the sky was blue, I'd check for myself.

[Marak]

Thanks for the information, but it still leaves me confused.
If 1000 people show up to caucus at one of the at-large precincts and they award x/1000 based upon the number who showed up, then that precinct would have x delegates.

Conversely if a regular precinct of 1000 registered voters has only 100 people show up to caucus, wouldn’t they also receive x delegates because it is based upon registered voters?

[BlueStateRefugee]

Yes, but if 10000 culinary workers show up for the caucus, that site will get 10x delegates, for Obama, with their home precinct presumably splitting between her highness and Obama.

As I understand it, HILLARY! has a preponderance of democrat "super-delegates." These folks get to cast a vote at convention although they have never received a single popular vote of support.

I wonder if the impeached former president intends to renounce the use of undemocratic "super-delegates" for HILLARY! at the convention.

[Timeout]

There’s video!

And, yes, he DOES point that bony finger at the reporter.

The reporter didn’t back down and in his report actually showed how Clinton was lying - the votes cast by people who caucus at the sites provided will not have their votes given 5X the weight of any other vote. Clinton is misrepresenting the facts. Clinton’s statement about them not understanding the situation when they state and national DNC agreed to this in March, is also a lie, as the reporter goes on to illustrate.

So nice to finally see the press getting the last word on the Rapist. They didn’t simply put his lies on TV, they investigated and showed he was fudging the facts.

This report makes the Rapist look like the POS he really is. Also reminds people of the Purple Rage he gave Chris Wallace and what he probably looked like as he raped Juanita Broaddrick in April of 1978 at the Camelot Motel.

[Beatthedrum]

Nice to see a reporter from a large market TV station actually makes the Rapist look bad. In the old day, the Sink Emperor tells them that “back when this was approved, no-one released these votes would have 5 X the weight of others, is that fair ?”, that’s what goes on air and that’s it.

But this guy goes on to show what Clinton is saying is BS and pushes the Rapist to comment on the timing of the teacher’s union law suit - 2 days after the bitch loses the culinary union endorsement.

This guy does what the MSM usually does to the right, put together the story in a way that makes Bubba look bad.

I hope it’s a sign of things to come, the Clinton’s being shown for the sewage they really are.

[AD from SpringBay]

Bill Clinton is turning into the OJ Simpson of the democratic party.

[NeoCaveman]

This is a great headline.

Strip caucuses and Bubba.

[OB1kNOb]

Bill Clinton is turning into the OJ Simpson of the democratic party.

Yeah, but both he and Hitlery will be doing some hacking and slashing before this is all over.

[NormsRevenge]

Classic Clinton

Just like the old days,,
Bubba working the Strip.

[NormsRevenge]

Oh God! Hillary IS gonna be so pissed.

[holden]

A vote on the strip worth 5 times what any other vote worth

What? It's not one person, one vote?

I guess Bill would have a problem with Clinton supporters from Massachusetts being bussed over to the Dhimmicrat primary in Delaware, then, right?

No?

I agree that the Clintons are only objecting because the endorsement went to Obama, and might well be trying to send his talking points to some judge who might intervene in behalf of the Clintons. The Kurintong machine is despicably evil!

‘Only Nixon could go to China’ as the old saying goes.

I’ll add ‘Only Bill Clinton can remind you of what you disliked about the 1990’s’.

Thanks Bill! Couldn’t keep control of the Whitehouse without YOU.

[NYpeanut]

Red-faced, gravel-voiced, his expression between a snarl and a smile, unable to control his snaky temper after a challenge. Bet he talked like that to his rape victims.

[lgwdnbdgr]

I don’t know about you, but I’m certainly cheering for a repeat of the old Clinton performance.

Politically speaking, not much would be better than for the Democratic candidate for President to only earn 43% of the vote in November.
