Why was Bill Clinton in MA instead of any of the Southern States on Super Tuesday????

[UglyGreed]

He was the Governor of Arkansas after all why not there. Why not greet voters in some of the other states like Georgia??? Why MA out of all the states voting????

[msanthrope]

1. Because the new Mena Airport is to be built there. nt

[UglyGreed]

3. Really?????

so stay away from the polling areas.........

[msanthrope]

4. Yes. I hear the Whitewater Development Corp is building it. nt

[UglyGreed]

5. Deflection

[msanthrope]

31. No--Laughter. nt

[UglyGreed]

33. Yes

[ThePhilosopher04]

2. Corruption ...

It's who they are and what they do.

[UglyGreed]

8. I find it worse

that some here do not really care......

[Freddie Stubbs]

6. Because the Southern states were already in the bag.

[UglyGreed]

7. Bull's Eye!!!!!

and we ALL know it.

[MineralMan]

9. Perhaps because none of the southern states were close.

MA was a close race. Now, where would you campaign in that situation?

[UglyGreed]

13. Exactly my

point campaigning near polling places even entering them.

[merrily]

29. What he did was illegal, but don't worry: no one in Mass. will prosecute.

[Cali_Democrat]

10. Because he wanted to make you mad. Did it work?

[UglyGreed]

12. No because he

and the Clinton camp does not respect the process............but you knew that already.

BTW here's some demographics or the areas he visited that day.....


Newton MA is 80% white

New Bedford MA 74% white

West Roxbury MA 85.6% white

[Cali_Democrat]

14. Wouldn't it make sense to campaign in areas where the voting is closer?

Why would you want to campaign in an area where you're crushing your opponent? It would make no sense to campaign in the Southern states on Super Tuesday.

Did you see Obama campaign in New York or California in 2012? He may have gone to some fundraisers, but he didn't campaign in those states because they were in the bag.

Obama campaigned in states like Florida, Ohio and Virginia because they were swing states.

You're kinda new to this politics thing, aren't you?

[UglyGreed]

15. It's illegal

what he did there is photos and videos............

[merrily]

30. Huh? Massachusetts WAS close.

[Cobalt Violet]

11. So he could steal my vote and I'm not happy about it.

[UglyGreed]

16. Sorry

but others don't mind.

[Cobalt Violet]

23. Yeah, I've noted that.

Don't really want to hear them whine when their vote gets stole.

[UglyGreed]

26. Perhaps they will blame

Nader.

[dragonfly301]

17. I think the optics of her losing every northern state

so far would be more than the Clinton's could bear - so Bill was sent out to make his Secret Security detail create a delay in voting and traffic jams in the area. Our tax dollars at work for the privileged Clinton's. And we thought only republicans made voting difficult.

[UglyGreed]

18. All I know it is very

poor behavior and has upset many many people.

[dragonfly301]

19. it's exactly the kind of behavior that Jimmy Carter

travels to 3rd world countries to stop. Clinton should be ashamed.

[UglyGreed]

20. Good point

[merrily]

32. I don't think that. Neither does Bradblog, though he tended to focus more on GOP abuses.

[Beacool]

21. Because winning MA was a moral victory.

The Clintons are popular in the state and Hillary won it in 2008 by almost 10%, despite Kennedy, Kerry and Patrick having endorsed Obama. If Sanders wasn't from neighboring VT, Hillary would have won it by a larger margin.

Bill wasn't in the South because his help wasn't needed there. Hillary won every Southern state quite easily.

[dragonfly301]

24. So Bill being inside a polling place in Massachusetts

was considered "helpful" by the Clinton campaign? Interesting. Illegal, unethical but still interesting.

[UglyGreed]

28. See how that

works. Very, very sad.

22. Bill Clinton's "Bull Horn" Appearance Outside New Bedford Polling Place Raises Questions

It appears it was to disrupt the Voting Process just enough..to win her some votes and make it close. Disgraceful behavior by anyone ...including a former President and Husband of the Candidate.

Bill Clinton Appearance Outside New Bedford Polling Place Raises Questions

The former president’s megaphone speech happened just hours after a controversial West Roxbury visit.

Former President Bill Clinton’s public appearances this Super Tuesday have some crying foul over potential violations of Massachusetts election law.

Hours after he went inside polling locations in Newton and West Roxbury and was photographed posing with Boston Mayor Marty Walsh and a Democratic ballot, Clinton visited a polling place in New Bedford and was filmed nearby stumping for Hillary Clinton with a megaphone-wielding Mayor Jon Mitchell.

“I haven’t seen one person be able to come in and be able to vote in here,” says one woman narrating a video of the scene, posted Tuesday afternoon. “It’s completely blocked off. No cars can park here. They are affecting the voting at this poll. It’s ridiculous. This should be fraud, and illegal.”

[UglyGreed]

27. It was not campaigning!!!!!

[onehandle]

25. I told him to.

I said, 'It's not illegal or helpful in any way, but it will piss the 'Not Hillary' Party off to no end.
