Hillary Clinton responds to Sanders on delegates: 'Let's follow the rules'
The Hill ^ | 03 03 2020 | J. Edward Moreno

Posted on 03/03/2020 7:01:43 AM PST by yesthatjallen

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on ABC's "Good Morning America" on Tuesday that she believes the Democratic nomination should not go to the candidate with the plurality of delegates at the end of the primary and caucus season.

“Let's follow the rules, we had rules last time, we have rules this time,” she said. “Everybody knew when they got into it.”

Clinton also doubled down on comments she made in a documentary filmed before the primary season, calling Sen. Bernie Sander's (I-Vt.) campaign is "just bologna."

“That was my authentic opinion then, it my authentic opinion now,” she said.

She went on to say she’s concerned a Sanders nomination could ruin the party’s chances of keeping a majority in the House or flipping the Senate.

“Change is hard, it’s not glamorous, it doesn’t fit into a soundbite and yet the people who were elected in 2019 are out there doing the people’s work,” Clinton said. “I think we ought to be more understanding and realistic on what it takes to get change in this big, complicated, pluralistic democracy of ours.”

She’s running - and praying for that brokered convention.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I don’t see much possibility of a brokered convention. Hillary has already bought and paid for the DNC Convention. It’s hers for the taking.

See tagline.

Heh! You reminded me of something that happened when I was maybe 8 years old. There was a supermarket around the corner of our Brooklyn apartment, and my mom had sent me there to get some baloney. I took off, and returned a few minutes later. “Did you get the baloney?” she asked me. No, all they have is bologna”...

She laughed heartily, and it was then that I learned of the alternate spelling... :-)

Glad I wasn’t drinking coffee when I read this one.

Hillary says to follow the rules? Really, like when has she ever followed the rules?

So in her diabolical mind, a pluarity of votes in the general election should win the Presidency but not the Dem nomination?

That’s a very interesting thought. He’s an Independent Communist trying to get the Socialist Democrat nomination to run against Trump.

The Dems invited him into their tent in order to give the appearance that he was one of them. In reality, they wanted to include him because if they didn't, he'd be a third-party candidate that siphoned a bunch of votes from the Democrat candidate.

The Dems under-estimated his ability to be a anti-Democrat establishment contender, and assumed that they would beat him down through the primary process. That didn't happen as the Democrat candidates were weak.

They tried to sell all of Bernie's ideas of free healthcare, free schooling, wealth taxes, Green New Deals...you name it. Perhaps they didn't have the same passion about those ideas that Bernie did, perhaps they couldn't appeal to enough delegates that they were better and more electable than Bernie was.

Now, they're dropping like flies before Super Tuesday, in order to circle the wagon around the most establishment candidate, Joe Biden. We all know how that's turning out.

“Let's follow the rules, we had rules last time, we have rules this time,” she said. “Everybody knew when they got into it.”

We all know the rules going into it.

Then why do Democrats keep talking about the popular vote. We all went into the election knowing the rule is the winner is the one with the electoral majority. Why, when you lose by the rule everyone knows we use to determine the winner, claim you won by a 'rule' we don't use?

Hilarious that she said that with a straight face. Not surprising that no one among the Partisan Media Shills called her on it. She hired a shark to manage the 2008 convention portion of the campaign, and even when it was obvious to the rest of the world that she was going to lose, her shark stated, "she will be the nominee." I read it in a topic here somewhere, but couldn't find it. :^)
