I'm hoping Bill stays away from the caucus in my precinct.

[floriduck]

If he shows up, bullhorn in hand, I will first ask security/police to keep him at the minimum distance from the building. And I will insist he stay out of the building unless he is a registered Washington State voter. Since I am the precinct captain, he cannot prevent me from allowing all voters who have arrived and registered to vote.

I hope other precinct volunteers and/or captains do the same. His shit has gotten stale.

[bigwillq]

1. I hope he stays away. Period. And moves to Mars.

I have always disliked the Clintons. I don't think they're good people, and I don't want them back in power.

[MrMickeysMom]

22. Would that be Mars, PA?

I'm ready to call anyone who routinely uses these dirty tricks as what they try to do... disrupting and a rat fucking!

[lewebley3]

28. I would love to meet Bill: He is a brilliant man: Fun easy going:

[Fawke Em]

33. It's not difficult to be easy-going when you have millions of dollars and gov't paid healthcare. eom

[lewebley3]

44. So is okay to be stupid and with out manners if you don't have millions

You don't make sense; and you seem bitter about other
peoples successes.

The Clintons worked all their lives: and put their lives on line for
their country for most of their lives: They have
earned every penny. (which they have only had in their 50's)

Also, most of their money goes to charity and helping
Dem's.

[Land of Enchantment]

52. Uh huh. Cattle futures? Broke when they left the White House and took furnishings

that belonged to US with them?

They have NEVER put any skin in the game.

What a ridiculous post.

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=121856&page=1
After they were criticized for taking $190,000 worth of china, flatware, rugs, televisions, sofas and other gifts with them when they left, the Clintons announced last week that they would pay for $86,000 worth of gifts, or nearly half the amount.

Their latest decision to send back $28,000 in gifts brings to $114,000 the value of items the Clintons have either decided to pay for or return.

McDaniel discussed the matter Wednesday with Betty Monkman, the White House curator, and Gary Walters, the chief usher, or executive manager of the White House.

They were reviewing the gifts the Clintons chose to keep after $28,000 worth of items were found on a list of donations the Park Service received for the 1993 White House redecoration project. The Washington Post this week quoted three people who said that they assumed the furnishings they donated for the project would stay in the White House.

[lewebley3]

53. The was doing fantastic when the Clintons left the White House and we all were in Black

[Politicalboi]

54. Put their lives on the line

Sniper Fire in Bosnia perhaps? Most of their money goes to charity.

You are funny.

This is what some call CHEATING. It's called that because it IS.

[lewebley3]

64. Anyone that runs for public office put their lives on line: You neve run office

[MrMickeysMom]

63. Hee haw...

Keep going... I think we could all use a big laugh today.

[MrMickeysMom]

60. Sounds like you know him already...

But, you've never met him.

[leftofcool]

2. I think Bill will pretty much shake hands and greet people where ever he wants to

[floriduck]

3. Fine as long as he keeps his distance.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. Because the rules only apply to little people?

[whatchamacallit]

6. Hope people bring this along then

[Lizzie Poppet]

11. I'd want to glove up before shaking his hand.

Not because I don't know where it's been...but because I do.

[Tanuki]

12. Sounds like something from the Free Republic. eom

[Lizzie Poppet]

15. Whine moar.

The tears add a certain sparkle to my continued disparaging of sleazy Third Way corporatist buffoons.

[Tanuki]

17. That was vomit, not tears. eom

[Lizzie Poppet]

19. Mimicking your candidate's speeches? Cool!

Try not to mimic her complete lack of principles, though. You're better than that.

[marions ghost]

5. Thx for standing up to Bullhorn Bill

--somebody needs to do it.

[jwirr]

7. I also think the the Secret Service should be asked to move

back as they are part of why people cannot vote. One man and a bullhorn would not disrupt voting but one man with an entourage can. They get in the way.

I realize that their job is to protect him but does that include helping him to obstruct voting?

[floriduck]

9. Good point. I'll keep that in mind. nm

[onehandle]

8. Cool story, bro. nt

[COLGATE4]

59. +1000

[hrmjustin]

10. We would welcome Bill in Brooklyn when we vote.

[leftofcool]

13. We will welcome him here in Kentucky too.

I would love it if he showed up at my little voting place.

[hrmjustin]

14. I don't know why they are so upset.

[salinsky]

29. Yes, you do.

[Lizzie Poppet]

18. Sadly, I just missed him yesterday, at Powell's.

Mere blocks from my place, a chance to heckle a Third Way corporate tool...and I missed it!

[brooklynite]

23. I've already put in a bid for a visit to Brooklyn Borough Hall with my friends at campaign HQ

[hrmjustin]

24. You have earned it.

[Fawke Em]

34. Not everyone.

I'd be pissed if I were waiting hours to vote because of his security detail and glad-handing. He has all day to do nothing, many people need to vote so they can get to work or school or home to take care of children.

He shouldn't be so smug.

[Contrary1]

16. Take your own bullhorn.

If he can do it, so can anyone else.

[Lizzie Poppet]

20. Hmmm...portable PA rig?

It's all about the decibels...

[MrMickeysMom]

26. Good Idea!

This should give a boost to bullhorn sales, no doubt.

[brooklynite]

21. First, there IS no minimum distance: this is a Party Caucus, not a State-sponsored Primary

Second, I'm not sure there will be police at a Caucus site.

Third, Washington State uses the Iowa Caucus procedure, which allow a short speech in support of the candidate. In some States, those speeches have been delivered at a precinct by the candidate or their surrogate.

[Jackie Wilson Said]

30. I think you missed the most important part of the OP message, appears the OP is accusing

President Bill Clinton of election fraud, that he is going to be there to prevent people from voting.

[Fawke Em]

37. Well, if the shoe fits...

[Jackie Wilson Said]

38. So you are accusing Bill Clinton of election fraud?

[brooklynite]

45. If you have evidence, you should report it to Bernie...

He hasn't filed a single complaint.

[msanthrope]

25. I love fanfic! nt

[Jackie Wilson Said]

27. So you are alleging that Bill Clinton might show up to stop people from voting?

That is what I just read in your statement.

[jwirr]

35. I understand that happened already in MA and Chicago.

[Jackie Wilson Said]

36. You "understand" President Bill Clinton went to a polling area and prevented Americans

from voting?

Where is the proof of this?

[jwirr]

39. Someone please google the stories for Jackie. I don't know

how. But I do know what I read.

[Jackie Wilson Said]

41. And if you cant show Bill Clinton preventing people from voting, you will apologize?

[jwirr]

46. Why should I? The stories were all over the net on Super-

Tuesday and when Illinois was voting. I am 74 years old and not real computer savvy. But I can and do read most of the posts on DU.

Bill showed up at three Boston polling places during voting hours along with his entourage and at one event went into the polling place while the SS stopped people from coming in. Later in Chicago there was a story that he was at it again.

When you are handicapped, elderly, have to get back to work or to your children and someone interrupts the voting it makes it hard for many to vote.

We have never had this kind of irresponsible actions in any campaign and we do not need it now. If she cannot win without this then too bad.

[quickesst]

47. Oh yeah...

... Forgot you can't put anything on the internet that isn't true.

[jwirr]

48. You dear friend are on ignore as of now. Bye,bye.

[quickesst]

50. Oooooh...

... right through the heart!

[COLGATE4]

62. The most unkind cut of all - "IGNORED!!!!!!!!!

[quickesst]

67. I know

I don't use ignore myself. I enjoy comic relief.......and arguing.

[Fawke Em]

42. Have you not seen the videos?

http://www.bostonmagazine.com/news/blog/2016/03/01/bill-clinton-massachusetts-voting-laws/

[Jackie Wilson Said]

43. No, I havent seen a video of a former President purposely preventing voters from voting.

[Tarc]

40. I think that will be fine, as Bill Clinton has never prevented voters from voting

Depending on Washington State laws, however, your preventing him from entering the building may be illegal.

[Blue_In_AK]

49. Another nice thing about living in Alaska,

presidential candidates and/or their spouses NEVER come here (unless they're named Palin, in which case we had no choice).

Incidentally, the only TV ads I've seen here prior to our caucus, which will be Saturday, are some very good ones from Bernie.

[ecstatic]

51. I'll be so happy when the people around here who clearly hate democrats

crawl back to where they came from.

[firebrand80]

55. Maybe caucuses work differently where you are.

In Minnesota, candidates or their surrogates are actually encouraged to come and speak on their behalf. There's time in the caucus agenda for that purpose, and if a candidate shows up outside of that time, he or she will get time to speak.

At the caucus in my precinct, we had a couple of state legislative incumbent candidates come in and speak. I know both of them, so I introduced them and they made brief pitches about their candidacy.

Anyone's welcome at our caucuses, although only those who live in the precinct are eligible to vote. Our caucuses are open meetings where people are free to speak.

We did have two caucus attendees who spoke on behalf of Hillary and Bernie, as well. The rest of the attendees listened politely to them. We're a friendly state here. We don't call the police on people at our caucuses. We listen to them.

[floriduck]

57. Thanks for your input. The supporters who vote

are allowed 3 minutes total to speak on their candidates behalf. A candidate or incumbent candidate may choose to use that time. However, Bill Clinton does not meet the definition of any of these. He would be an observer, therefore, he can observe from outside the caucus building.

[Berniemagic]

73. At a minimum of 1,500 feet.

I don't care how close Clinton is from *ANY* polling place, he has no business being in there and interfering with the voter's intent.

He needs to be in New York, sleeping on his hammock.

[COLGATE4]

58. Sounds just like Cartman

"Do not question mah authorrity'.

[DrDan]

65. lol - hence the term "silly season"

[senz]

66. Thanks, floriduck. All precinct workers should respect the voting process

and keep the carnival barkers away.

[Dem2]

68. It's your right to do so

I've seen it a few times when local candidates thought it would be nice to chit-chat with their 'buds' in line. They were thwapped pretty efficiently by the poll workers there. Seemed a little harsh, but them's the rules and one party certainly isn't going to be pleased if the other party is breaking the rules. Or in this case, inter-party squabbling can be worse than D/R tiffs.

[snowy owl]

69. Will secret service let you do that?

[JoePhilly]

70. Is your precinct so incredibly important that it alone will determine who wins?

In any case ... I'm sure Bill will stay very far away so as to not incur your wrath.

[leftofcool]

71. Maybe they can start a reddit page about this!

Btter yet #stopbill

[JoePhilly]

72. Lol
