redneckgaijinSuch as when I read a quote from this article on msnbc.com...
Payroll supervisor Peggy Teske said she’d voted for Clinton.
“I’m all about Hillary.” In an interesting Freudian slip, she then said, “When she was the vice president, she was just so intelligent, knowing that she could read pages and pages of information and remember it and retain it. If she put together a speech she didn’t have to have the teleprompter, she didn’t have to have someone feeding her information.”
Vice. President.
Will somebody please tell me that there was a golden time in American history when the average voter wasn't so goddamn pig-ignorant of who their elected officials are, who they had been previously, and what their jobs were?
As for Hillary's worthless win in Florida today: not surprising. Name recognition ensures she'll win any contest where nobody campaigns actively. Furthermore, Clinton has the over-60 age bracket locked up... and Florida has the highest per capita concentration of retirees in the nation.
As for delegates in Florida and Michigan... call caucuses where everyone is allowed to campaign, pick the delegates based on the caucus outcome, and seat those delegates in Denver. Do not, under any circumstances, seat them based on two primaries where, in effect, Hillary was the only one allowed to campaign (or, at least, not punished for campaigning) while everyone else sat out or, in Michigan, had their names off the ballot entirely.
You want fair, Hillary? Then let's start talking about a re-do. Don't talk about how votes cast in two rigged elections should count.
