Hillary wants...
the will of the people ignored.

Hillary wants the votes of the people and pledged delegates tossed out the window.

Get it peeps ?

The ONLY way she can win is if the will of the people is ignored.

Hillary doesn't want ANYONES votes to count....except the supers.

This needs repeating.

1. Obama wants
the will of the people of Michigan and Florida ignored. He wants the will of the people of Texas ignored.


Plays both ways.

17. Michigan and Florida held their Primaries too early
And they were penalized accordingly.

And the will of the people in Texas IS for Obama. There was a popular vote AND caucuses, and in a caucus, you vote for the candidate you want, just like in an election. You can't claim winning the election represents the "will of the people" unless she also won the Caucus.

3. But if Obama wins...
it will be because he has more pledged delegates and votes.

The will of the people will be respected.

If she wins...the will of the people is ignored.

21. Tweety just said it didn't matter
He said the candidate with the most delegates would get the nomination - even if they don't reach their magic number of delegates they're supposed to get. He said he just heard that from the Democratic Party.

10. The purpose of the Supers is that no one can win a contested convention without them...
It's in the spirit of protecting the party from a major mistake like the electoral college was set-up to do. However, we don't want to be protected from ourselves unless we are the minority.

23. Hillary wants...
to win the nomination.

The rules regarding how the nomination is made may be massively flawed, but every candidate running in the party knows what they are. Unless they have made a strong case and effort to change those rules, I would submit that they can't complain about them at this stage in the game.
