But after the primary, which was won by Sanders, she reversed that position. She now says she will back whoever is the partys presumptive nominee -- which at this stage is Clinton.
We rate that a Full Flop.
Guess the rigging of the Wisconsin Primary failed and so now she is backtracking now that Hillary didn't win. Another flip flopper like Hillary.

(27,985 posts)A) NOBODY here did that. Nobody. Somebody posted a screenshot of some asshole on FB who did. Not a DUer. Anyt HRC supporter with a fucking brain knows that the largest impact of the GOP Voter ID law is on PoC, who are overfuckingwhelmingly voting for her.
B) There was no "rigging" here in WI, there were no attempts to "rig" the primary - so just stop
"Many praised".... my ass.

(2,353 posts)It is some of the same people who are now spamming about the Vatican... going so far to even lookup flights for him to suggest he can't fit it to his schedule he'll have to cancel.

(27,985 posts)But - now you are changing "rigging" to... many praised Voter ID.
Then changing "many" to "a couple".
None of it's true. None.

The new dems (or whatever we're calling them today) have had the reins of our party since at least 2008. Laning looks like another Trojan horse arrived just as we tossed Mike Tate.

(10,534 posts)Mr. Sanders and his backers are trying to cut into Mrs. Clintons large lead in pledged delegates by prying away some of her superdelegates. Rank-and-file Sanders activists have taken it upon themselves to assist, using social media, emails and phone calls in ways that have created a backlash among the very people Mr. Sanders is hoping to win over.
A California superdelegate backing Mrs. Clinton, Bob Mulholland, wrote a letter to Mr. Sanders this week saying the outreach to superdelegates from Sanders voters has gotten offensive, including calls coming late at night. Other superdelegates said they have gotten unwanted calls at work from Sanders backers, or have seen their Facebook pages flooded with warnings of political repercussions for supporting Mrs. Clinton.
