1. Great point Cenk makes --

that if our system was based on the popular vote, the candidates wouldn't have spent so much time in IA or NH!!

This approach by Clinton is a stretch, to put it mildly. I don't know how she can stand up there and claim that without rolling her eyes.

2. But Hillary's populist message is playing well.

[fascisthunter]

3. She has a "populist" Message?????

oy... I must have missed it. The DLC and Hillary are not populists, so I'm not sure such a thing would have much meaning. She did support NAFTA did she not? That blows any "populist" message she may try to promote right out of the rhetorical water.

5. listen to her speeches before you spout off and look foolish

[fascisthunter]

6. Speeches? She Lies a lot too, What Does That Say about Her Speeches?

I'm contrasting her speeches with her past actions.

I'd say you were being the "foolish" one. You base your retort upon a speech?

11. Read her votes before you spout off and look foolish

14. Kick

awesome

[johnnydrama]

15. that last point

is the best one to just maker her look foolish.

If popular vote counted for anything, why did you spend 9 months in a state with no popular vote tallies?

16. New Hillary Rule.... candidate with the most vaginas wins... blondest hair?

come on hillary... there must be SOME formula that lets you win...

i'm assuming LARGEST BALLS would be a tie...

17. Caucus States Don't Matter

I live in a caucus state...and put hundreds of hours into our LD's precinct and LD caucuses.

It makes my head spin on it's shoulders...the way we are treated.

Washington State had the largest caucus ever!!

No one arrived in limousines and wine wasn't served. Real people, my neighbors...many many many who had never before participated in the caucuses...took time out their lives to stand for "change"...

As this popular vote argument of Hillary's began to gain traction in the media...It has been so frustrating that the "talking heads"...throw numbers around without even mentioning that they were not including the caucus states...

We have become the "new" invisible Americans Hillary espouses to never forget.
