Facts: 1) Clinton does NOT have requisite pledged delegates for nomination. 2) superdels vote at convention. 3) @FBI investigation ongoing

[Gomez163]

1. No one brought up this special superdelegate rule in 2008 when it worked for Hillary.

Now that it works against her you're all for it. That is out and out sexism.

[berni_mccoy]

7. Obama wasn't under a investigation for federal crimes either.

[Gomez163]

9. Neither is Hillary.

[panader0]

24. See number three above.

[Gomez163]

27. There is no grand jury empaneled. They have sat on it for a year.

They haven't even interviewed Hillary.

[panader0]

32. Comey himself said that the FBI is conducting an investigation.

Jeez Gomez.....

[Gomez163]

34. Comey is a republican. He is following in the path of Ken Starr.

They have been investigating for a year. They could have wrapped it up last fall.

[panader0]

48. He was appointed by Obama. Did you vote for Obama?

The investigation is NON- partisan.

[Gomez163]

49. Starr was appointed by Janet Reno. Means nothing

[panader0]

50. Wait, Starr was head of the FBI?

You are getting boring, bye...

[Gomez163]

51. No. But Starr led the investigation.

We dont even know for sure what Comey is doing. We do know he donated to Bush and Romney and that he is a republican.

[TimPlo]

22. Clinton did.

She made a speech the final night of voting where she said she was going to continue to fight on as she felt she was the stronger candidate. But after several meetings with DNC and Obama she finally dropped out 4 days after the last vote was cast. So why is it different in 2008? do hold her to special rules because she is a women?

[CrowCityDem]

2. 4) The same standards let everyone to call Obama the nominee.

[berni_mccoy]

8. Corollary: that only applies if the leading candidate isn't under criminal investigation

[Gomez163]

10. There is no exception for that anyway. Innocent until proven guilty.

[TwilightZone]

14. Should have refreshed. lol

[berni_mccoy]

18. So it's totally fine with you if a presidential candidate gets indicted during an election?

Seriously you need help.

[Gomez163]

19. You're hoping for it.. You need help.

[panader0]

26. You didn't give an answer.

[berni_mccoy]

28. You're projecting

[Gomez163]

30. No. I'm calling you out.

[berni_mccoy]

33. You desire me to be the evil Bernie troll

But if you knew anything you would know that's not true. But you really want it to be.

[Gomez163]

35. Then make nice on June 16.

[berni_mccoy]

37. You don't even know the meaning of the words you just typed

Tell me exactly what "make nice" means because I don't think you really know.

[Gomez163]

39. No more criticism of Hillary. None. Nada. Zip.

[berni_mccoy]

40. Just what I thought. Not even Skinner is making that demand

[Gomez163]

41. I think you better make sure of that. I read that he wants the Hillary bashing to end.

[berni_mccoy]

44. There is a difference between bashing and posting facts

Especially those facts that put your candidate in unfavorable light.

[Gomez163]

45. Good luck with that. Srsly.

[Gomez163]

47. from Skinner's announcement

"If you are criticizing Hillary Clinton because you want to help her succeed, then you'll be fine. But if you are criticizing Hillary Clinton because you want to tear her down, then you won't be fine."

[grasswire]

52. and how will Skinner judge intent?

Posting court documents from the criminal investigations of Hillary without comment -- yes? no?

Posting news stories from reputable sources -- yes? no?

If you live in a world where Hillary's own known history is something not flattering, then everything is "tearing her down."

[Gomez163]

53. Here you go.

"Now, I'm not a mind reader and I can't know for certain what everyone's intentions are. But I think that if the criticism is coming from a place of "wanting her to succeed" then that will be reflected in the tone and substance of the post. If the criticism is coming from a place of "wanting to tear her down" then that will be reflected in the tone and substance of the post. If you are here on DU then you are supposed to be supporting the Democratic nominee against the Republican nominee in the general election -- it shouldn't be very hard to write a post in a way that sounds like it. "

If you bring up the email investigation, Goldman Sachs, or any other anti-Clinton meme, you are tearing her down.

[berni_mccoy]

57. You're effed in the head.

Plain and simple.

[TwilightZone]

13. Guilty until proven innocent? Sure, why not.

The corollary exists only in your mind. If you insist that Clinton should be held to a different standard than Obama in the same situation, you might want to think about why.

[berni_mccoy]

15. Sure but no one under investigation by the FBI should be running for President

[Gomez163]

16. He wants her guilty. That is the difference

[Ned_Devine]

3. Thanks for posting

[tonyt53]

4. Bernie lost. Face it. Stop dreaming about the FBI charging Hillary

Desperation is sad and pathetic, and that post displays both.

[NCTraveler]

5. Clinton won.

We will still go through all of the procedures to confirm that for you.

[grossproffit]

6. David Shuster is still bitter over that suspension. His career has never been the same.

[Jarqui]

11. From a link in his twitter comments

http://us9.campaign-archive1.com/?u=bc6cfeeede3f05b8504f947c9&id=ef38076a0c

It was widely recognized as a monumental, historic achievement, especially coming immediately after the nation's first black president. The Republican Party's last two presidential nominees have also been historic choices, giving the nod first to a Mormon in 2012 and this year to an actual caveman.

[TimPlo]

25. Yea that comment is wrong and offensive.

Who hell does he think he is to insult someone so and compare them to a being with a much smaller brain. This poor caveman never did anything wrong to be compared to Trump

[NurseJackie]

12. Hang in there ... things will get better.

[azurnoir]

20. In November - maybe -we'll see but we might get stuck with this too

[NurseJackie]

21. Hillary is the only thing standing between orange-face and the White House.

[berni_mccoy]

31. Hillary is the only thing standing in her own way. She'll trip over herself

Just watch. And for the record I enjoy your posts.

[NurseJackie]

36. I doubt it. But I can't stop you from hoping for the worst.

[berni_mccoy]

38. Am I hoping for it?

If you are claiming to read minds you'd realize that's not true (if you really can read minds that is)

[NurseJackie]

43. Aren't you? The delight you display betrays your protests.

But, you're free to deny if you wish. No skin off my nose. I'm just sharing my opinions. Time will tell if I'm correct, or if you're being completely honest. Besides, none of this matters much anyway. It's just a bunch of silly sparring on an entertaining political web site. This back-and-forth isn't going to change anything.

[berni_mccoy]

46. Again, you are putting intent and emotions where there are none

[NurseJackie]

54. Yes, of course, your motivations are entirely benign and clinical in nature.

(I'm smarter than you think I am ... but if that's the game you want to play, it's fine. None of this matters and none of this will change the outcome. Have fun!)

[berni_mccoy]

56. Just FYI

I'm concerned for the democratic candidate for the 2016 election. That is my motive. Period.

[NurseJackie]

58. Of course. Naturally.

Whatever you say.

[berni_mccoy]

59. Same

[AzDar]

17. Truth.

[SidDithers]

42. Here's some Meat Clown to help you feel better...

Sid

[baldguy]

55. For this SD flipping shit to be plausable, you have to believe 500+ SDs are lying

when they voice their preferences.
