Hillary Supporters, surely you agree that... [View all] masmdu May 2016 OP

I think, too, that Hillary supporters agree that we need the candidate who will beat the GOP. CentralCoaster May 2016 #1

I think the party should nominate the candidate with the most votes and pledged delegates. DemocratSinceBirth May 2016 #8

Well, did you take into consideration that many super-delegates are LOBBYISTS, djean111 May 2016 #2

Do you have a citation for that claim?nt Buzz cook May 2016 #31

It is fact, and has been discussed elsewhere on this board. I'm not sure a citation is silvershadow May 2016 #37

It is not a fact it is an allegation. Buzz cook May 2016 #38

No it is a fact. nt silvershadow May 2016 #39

The poster knows that, just spreading misinformation for those that don't, see my post below /nt Dragonfli May 2016 #48

According to ABC news 67 lobbyists will attend the convention as superdelegates Dragonfli May 2016 #47

You're funny, I'm sorry, It is rude to laugh but you are just so adorably transparent re your work Dragonfli May 2016 #51

Since posting my last Buzz cook May 2016 #52

ABC news is now a "media troll". I don't think you are as clueless as you claim, but a "misspeaker" Dragonfli May 2016 #54

Bargaining. This is bargaining, right? NurseJackie May 2016 #9

You do realize this is a direct Hillary quote, right? masmdu May 2016 #17

She was 100 pledged delegate behind and actually winning the popular vote DemocratSinceBirth May 2016 #21

So you agree? masmdu May 2016 #22

I agree in a close race where each side can make a compelling argument why they were the winner. DemocratSinceBirth May 2016 #24

That would make sense if every state held primaries. Washington, as an example, floriduck May 2016 #28

The 3,000,000 popular vote lead includes caucus votes DemocratSinceBirth May 2016 #32

So the Citation just reduced your claim by half a million votes. floriduck May 2016 #46

No it doesn't. DemocratSinceBirth May 2016 #50

Was it bargaining when Hillary said it? masmdu May 2016 #19

Yes. NurseJackie May 2016 #45

not undemocratic just less democratic DLCWIdem May 2016 #43

Well, if it's "less democratic".... kstewart33 May 2016 #60

That has nothing to do with what I said. 75% of Washington the State Democrats support Sen rhett o rick May 2016 #58

Of course although applying that rule in every state may well not get Bernie the nomination. n/t pampango May 2016 #42
