No, I’m not kidding.

Obama was wrong to blacklist two of the nation’s largest states.

Those people didn’t do anything wrong, and they DO count in the election. For what it’s worth, Hillary saw that correctly and did the right thing by the people of Michigan and Florida.

It’s not like the people don’t exist.

Uh...Hillary took the same pledge as Obama on not campaigning in Florida and Michigan. The DNC made the rules and both campaigns pledged to uphold their decision. At least Hillary did until things went awry .... !

You are aware that Obama had nothing to do with taking away FL and MI delegates? It was the DNC with the agreement of the Clintons and the other candidates. Further, your argument that he would have lost in FL and MI is pure supposition. Hillary had a teacher's union encouraging people to vote no on a ballot initiative and to vote for Hillary. Hillary supporters DID campaign in FL, Obama's didn't. Hillary may have won anyway, but she would have probably had a smaller margin. MI has a large black population and the largest Muslim population in America. Barack could well have beaten Hillary there.

YOu need to brush up on your facts. The DNC stripped both MI and FL because they moved their promaries up too far. ALL candidates at that time agreed not to campaign in either state (Hillary ‘forgot’ that promise and did it anyhow). How can you blame H. Obama when all he was doing is playing by the rules set out by his own party?

You are so wrong!
Many many of those Michigan DemonRAT voters in fact don't exist. A fact which hasn't prevented them from voting several times each, and in multiple precincts.

Obama didn't blacklist them, the National Democratic Party did. Both Obama AND Hillary also pledged to abide by their ruling and not campaign in Florida and Michigan.

Those people didn’t do anything wrong, and they DO count in the election.

Those people elected the officials that moved their primary in violation of party rules.

Their vots do count in the general election, but the party makes it's own rules about the nomination of their own candidate.

For what it’s worth, Hillary saw that correctly and did the right thing by the people of Michigan and Florida.

So that's why she pledged not to campaign in Michigan and Florida and only changed her story after the fact?

All I know is, I'm stocking up on popcorn for the Convention floor fight, which promises to be a real doozy. No need to tune in: I'm only about 60 miles Denver -- I'll just sit on my front porch and listen to the shouting from the comfort of home.
