"Close the deal?" Doesn't it sound like HRC thinks the presidency's for sale?

[ClassWarrior]

:shrug:

Just sayin'...

NGU.

1. No, it sounds like there are quite a few skeptical buyers.

[wileedog]

7. I'm intersted to hear the logic on this

Some voters in PA decided they like Clinton better.

Why does that indicate that voters in, say, Virginia are now skeptical?

[rug]

12. This has nothing to do with Virginia.

If Obama's a lock he should have no problem in shutting down the primary in the next 9 contests. But he's not and he won't. Conservatively, he's likely to lose at least 3 of them, KY, WV and PR. She's likely to remain competive in 3 of the other 6. With all the hype, momentum and cash he gained, he should win them all. But he won't. A lot of people are still skeptical of him and he cannot win the nomination without the intervention of the superdelegates.

[wileedog]

19. That still makes no sense.

What does the fact that the majority of states before have voted for him have to do with Kentucky voting for him?

Why should a bunch of people in WV, who really don't fit his demographic or style, care that the people in Wisconsin love the shit out of him?

Its a complete non sequitur

The majority of pledged delegates have been cast in his favor. They will be no matter what.

Why does a vote at the end of the race in KY mean anything other than people in KY don't particularly like him?

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

38. And it is not necessarily true that they don't like him, they just like her better.

This is what happens when both candidates are so strong.

It's not a mystery.

[Independent-Voter]

39. So we're basing the election now based on backwards-assed Ohio, PA, and Kentucky

What.The.Fuck?

Since when is the expectation that a candidate must win 100% of all the states? What a silly argument to make, but coming from Hillary supporters, I can't say I'm surprised.

[ClassWarrior]

15. Here's the logic...

HRC defenders don't consider the presidency for sale; nonetheless, they do consider the voters "buyers."

:crazy:

NGU.

[Catherina]

2. Why not. Under the Clintons, everything else was for sale n/t

[mcctatas]

3. I don't know, I've heard some of my less enlightened male

friends use it when they were taking a woman home from a bar, just sayin'

[ClassWarrior]

4. Ewww.

They sound like real winners. :eyes:

NGU.

[mcctatas]

6. They're the instant asshole type...

great until you add alcohol...

[madeline_con]

5. It is, and she intends to buy it.

It's the American way.

[Diane R]

8. How can he 'close the deal' if she won't quit?

[wisteria]

9. The deal is closed. Senator Obama is our nominee. Someone needs to tell Clinton this.

She needs to be winding down her campaign and the rhetoric.

[Barack_America]

10. The choice of corporate terminology is interesting.

Good pick-up.

[Lucinda]

11. Didn't O just try to buy PA?

[SunsetDreams]

14. no, he made her spend her money, never underestimate a Chess player

[Lucinda]

16. So he spent bazillions of dollars on ads so she'd go broke?

Not because he was trying to win?

[grantcart]

13. No not at all

They know its a rental

[expada]

17. "close the deal" is a figure of speech. A metaphor. A saying

But you think DU'ers are stupid enough to believe she was talking about a transaction.

Oh wait, they ARE stupid enough.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

21. All DUers are stupid? Here's an image you might want to familiarize yourself with...

[mcctatas]

22. with that one, you might want to choose ignore...

gobsmackingly assinine at every turn;)

[Kool Kitty]

23. It's just been put out of it's misery.

Pizza time.

[JTFrog]

28. It appears that poster is now quite intimate with that image :)

Good call!

[quantass]

18. "DEAL ... or NO DEAL?" ..i'm feelin' good about case # 9 Howie!

[ClassWarrior]

20. LOL... I was thinking that ol' Howie should emcee the next debate...

:rofl:

NGU.

[Norrin Radd]

24. It's a modified "seal the deal" she learned from Bill.

[ClassWarrior]

32. Either way, she calls it a "deal," not a solemn trust with the American people.

NGU.

[Norrin Radd]

34. I was making a bad joke.

[bowens43]

25. No, she sounds like she thinks she owns it.

[Enrique]

26. ABC should have asked about that at the debate

instead they focused on the silly stuff.

[Jawja]

27. The question is

Why couldn't SHE "close the deal" on Super Tuesday?

With all of her backing and name recognition and money (going into Feb 5) and expectations, SHE should have "closed the deal." But she didn't. She blew a huge lead. Then she was slammed in 11 straight contests.

SHE didn't "close the deal;" and she is desperately spinning her failure as Obama's failure.

[ClassWarrior]

31. .

[GoldieAZ49]

29. If it was Obama would have bought it already

It isn't like he hasn't had the most money ever.

Not being able to close the deal means he has not been able to sell himself to voters.

To the democrats. He hasn't gotten the support of half the democrats even, in the closed primaries he loses.

Hope this helps.

[aquart]

30. With all the money Obama is paying for it? Hope he gets a receipt.

[ClassWarrior]

33. He's the first POTUS candidate to have changed the money equation...

...and you slime him? :eyes:

37. Just another corporate transaction.
