Reply #16: Guess the power to make people do what you request [View All]

whenever and whatever you request is like a drug high to some people.

It is deplorable for the Clintons to pull this kind of shit - it is one thing to send out your lawyers with a position that you know you can't get, used as a bargaining chip to get some close but less. I used to practice law - that is negotiation 101 (sometimes there is no other way to make the other side come to reality quickly). But I wouldn't send an unwitting client out there to bleat out X, when I know we can only get Y, and worse, not let him know this is a complete freaking bluff on my part. That is done lawyer to lawyer, so that someone supposedly with a grip on these things can explain the reality to each of these clients, and see what comes of it.

But to send out sincere and loyal supporters to ask for one delegate seated, when you know you can't get it, because you, unlike them, know so many people behind the scenes who have already given you the true lowdown? Why would you do that, and esp. to many supporters who seriously believe every word you say is true? Users. Manipulators. Power hungry dumb politicians from Arkansas. Who could ever respect this couple of thugs?

People who are high on power like the Clintons are not the kind we need in office - they should go run some f'g banana republic in some dark corner of the world. Buh. Bye.
