My ears are starting to hurt from the slow crescendo of whining from those on the left, now complaining that Hillary seeks to do the very thing they falsely (no evidence to date) accused Republicans of in 2000…
Hillary Clinton's rhetoric today about counting the results in Florida and Michigan is simply incredible. Her speech compares discounting the Florida and Michigan primaries to vote suppression and slavery:
She said "there's a reason why so many have fought so hard and sacrificed so much. It's because they knew that to be a citizen of this country is to have the right and responsibility to help shape its future. Not just to have your voice heard but to have it count. People have fought hard because they knew their vote was at stake and so was their children's futures."
The shock and awe displayed by The New Republic's Jonathan Chait is truly humorous.
This gambit by Clinton is simply an attempt to steal the nomination. It's obviously not going to work, because Democratic superdelegates don't want to commit suicide. But this episode is very revealing about Clinton's character. I try not to make moralistic characterological judgments about politicians, because all politicians compromise their ideals in the pursuit of power. There are no angels in this business. Clinton's gambit, however, truly is breathtaking.
It "truly is breathtaking" that Democrats have nullified the votes of millions of people in Florida and Michigan, the only reason why Mrs. Clinton wishes them be counted is it will be to her sole benefit, and now liberals are all shocked that one of their own could have such selfishness in her heart.
If the left can be so easily blindsided by their own potential for malfeasance, maybe they aren't so smart after all.
