Clinton Gives Bernie 100% Cover to Go to the Convention [VIDEO]

[tomm2thumbs]

I think she is right. Everyone should have a chance to cast their ballot and vote for who they think would be the best person for President and who would best be able to defeat the Republican opponent in the General Election.

Hillary Clinton expects EVERYONE to have their say and cast their ballot, and who are we to disappoint!

Washington DC votes on June 14 --
Super Delegates vote end of July --

GOTV!

1. Do not falter or flag while Bernie is still out there campaigning.

He needs our support in order to leverage the movement at the convention.

Don't fail him.

No freaking way.

[merrily]

3. He needs our donations and our volunteer time, same as always.

If you want to tell America anything, you will step the fsck up and stay stepped up.

2. Clinton set the precedent - she can't now say 'but that was then, this is now...'

unless you believe she doesn't mean what she says

[Metric System]

4. Clinton didn't contest the convention. Superdelegates are not going to go against will of voters.

5. Glad you think you are psychic. Me, I'll let history take its course and the final results 2 decide

In the meantime, I believe Bernie is inspiring according to all accounts a lot of people that would be best served by the Democratic Party.

But if the Democratic Party really doesn't want their participation, they can keep making them feel excluded.

9. "Superdelegates are not going to go against will of voters"

I'd say the Super Delegates ARE INDEED currently going against the will of the voters, as their polling at this point is not in any proportion to either their state/district voters or the electorate voters as a total --

-- in fact I'd say they are currently proving they INDEED WILL be willing to vote against the will of actual voters

[Metric System]

16. Even if SDs were re-allocated she'd still be the presumptive nominee.

[highprincipleswork]

6. Absolute cover. And yet, she and especially her minions will likely twist this every which way.

13. Hillary enthusiastically endorsed Obama on June 8, 2008, two days

after the primaries. She did not take the fight to the convention.

Here is that speech.

8. Hillary's Words...so let's keep going!

10. Of course --->

14. Superdelegates do not overturn the will of the majority of pledged delegates

and the majority of voters, by three million votes.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

11. Bernie is hurting his own revolution. I think he is very tired. N/T

[That Guy 888]

17. Not as tired as I am of seeing Clinton supporters gloating online.

Clinton hurt her historical (presumptive) nomination with her campaign tactics... and supports too many wars.

[pnwmom]

12. Hillary gave Obama an enthusiastic, unconditional endorsement on June 7, 2008.

She did NOT take the fight to the convention -- even though when the primaries were over, she had a slight lead in the popular vote. Obama had only a slight lead in the delegates..

In 2016, Hillary is ahead by hundreds of pledged delegates and millions of votes across the country.

It's time for Bernie to bow out gracefully, as Hillary did in 2008.

[pnwmom]

19. Where is your evidence that Hillary doesn't lead by millions of votes?

Every authoritative media source says she does.

And now she also has the majority of pledged delegates, and the majority of overall delegates.

Bernie has lost in every category.

[RockaFowler]

22. Pledged Delegates don't vote until the convention either

This is such a lame excuse.

You see the Super Delegates HAVE ALWAYS been included in the totals.

Just when Bernie's supporters bring it up all of a sudden they don't matter.


NBC Host To Sanders: Your Take On Superdelegates Is A Bit 'Hypocritical'

[pnwmom]

24. Got it. You have nothing but your suspicions to prove that Hillary didn't

receive millions more votes than Bernie.

[pnwmom]

27. Here's the fact checker from the WA Post explaining why she IS millions of votes ahead,

even accounting for those pesky caucus votes.

It was originally written when she was 2.5 votes ahead, and then updated weeks later when she was 2.9 votes ahead. The same logic continues to apply now.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2016/04/06/is-hillary-clinton-really-ahead-of-bernie-sanders-by-2-5-million-votes/

Update, May 19: Adding in the results for Indiana, Guam, West Virginia, Kentucky and Oregon — three of which Sanders won by big margins — reduces Clinton’s margin to 2.9 million votes.

[MariaThinks]

26. 6 whole posts. sounds like a trump talking point.

[mdbl]

15. Winner or not, we still need to keep on the pressure

to move Clinton the left of center or we'll end up in the same shape or worse, especially in the elections on the state level.

21. We Also Need to Send the Message...

that we are totally repulsed by Establishment Politics as Usual that were so blatantly obvious in this Primary Season!

28. kickie, bumpie

29. Bernie wants California recounted

There are no words ...this guy is a disaster.
