Why is the DNC full of hypocrites, it wants FL and Mi not to count yet it ask Hillary to break ther rules?

Question

The Demorcratic party does not want to give Mi and FL a recount yet many are asking Hillary to resign. The rules states that unless a canidate reaches 2025 delegates they can not win the Democratic nomination, it is then up to the Superdelegates to decide the winner. So, staying in the race is more than Hillary's right, it is her obligation to follow the rules.

Answer 1

I want her to stay in.......the imploding DNC is too much fun. I can't wait for the convention.



MCCAIN '08!!

Answer 2

Is Hillary Clinton a hypocrite as well? I mean she was the only nominee on the ballot in Michigan, she said she knew the primary didn't count but she wanted her name on the ballot for General Election purposes against the Republicans. When the decision was made for Florida and Michigan's primaries to be moved up, she knew that the voters would not be heard, yet she agreed to the rules. Now, she wants primary do-overs, the DNC says no to changing the rules in the middle of the game. So, with respect, I think that makes her a little hypocritical. The DNC has not asked Hillary to "drop out of the race". Representatives etc. have voiced their opinion on the issue wanting her to step aside to unite the party, but at the same time many have come up and said she should not step aside, so I do not see where she has been asked to break the rules, I have only seen where she has insinuated the rules be changed for her.

Answer 3

I don't know where you guys are getting this from. Dean was on this morning, and he didn't say anything like that. It is the press making this up to be an issue, when there isn't anything there.



Dean this morning said they would seat the delegates at the convention. That Obama and Clinton would reach an agreement. He just wanted us to stop fighting with each other and talk about the contrast of us versus McCain. He didn't say anything about wanting Hillary to quit. He actually made a Freudian slip, and said the issues between Hillary and McCain, if you believe in that kind of thing.

Answer 4

There is no "recount" up for debate in Mi or Fl, Hillary was the only person on the ballot in Fl, not sure about Mi. Its a disagreement over whether or not to allow Fl and Mi to cast votes in this primary....they broke party rules.



They are not asking hillary to break the rules either, just like the GOP nomination, you have to hit a certain number of delegates. Romney DROPPED out of the race much like John Edwards did...they didn't break the rules, they threw up the white flag. SOME are asking hillary to do the same, and they go as far to say its her right to continue running, they just think its a lost cause.



Why are intentionally misrepresenting the events?

Answer 5

There is no rule that says she has to stay in the race until the eventual winner gets the required number of delegates. If there was ALL of the original candidates for the nomination would still be in the race.

Answer 6

sfdiego is the only one right here with any understanding of what got here approximately in Michigan and Florida. all and sundry of you in all probability voted or will vote on election day on your own state. that may no longer breaking the regulation. This became right into a DNC ruling, no longer a regulation, and the Republicans desperate to interrupt it, perchance on objective. the individuals of those 2 states did no longer something incorrect. They voted on election day. people who did no longer bypass out to vote are in all probability the comparable ones who does not have voted interior the final election the two. they have each and every reason to have faith their votes must rely. They weren't the only states to try this, so shouldn't we throw all of them out if we are going to try this to Florida and Michigan? They have been additionally caucus states, who broke the ruling, the place in user-friendly terms a small ingredient of the individuals come to a call for all something of the inhabitants. lots for one individual, one vote. by utilising the way, there have been a lot of states the place people had dropped out of the race yet did no longer take their names off the poll. that's executed in all probability for leverage.

Answer 7

None of them will be able to reach 2,025. Obama is in the lead. Hilary should step down for the good of the party. All this in-fighting is not good and Hilary's numbers are going down because of it. Obama's are going up. American or democrats don't like this negatively and fighting between democrat candidates.

Answer 8

She is under no obligation to stay in the race, under DNC rules. If people want to ask her to bow out, they have the right to do so. Just as she has the right to refuse their request.

Answer 9

A candidate can drop out of the race at anytime without breaking any rules. Look at Edwards and Richardson. Did they "break the rules"? No, of course not.



She has the right to remain if she wants. She also has the right to drop out.

Answer 10

I think the DNC should further punish FL and MI.

That during the national election that all votes for the Democrat be dismiss too.

Answer 11

Yes it is her obligation to follow the rules. She violated those rules by staying on the MI ballot. In a few weeks she will claim she was not on the MI ballot but instead got all those votes by being a write in candidate.

Answer 12

The DNC will move the goalposts any time they feel the need.

Answer 13

Maybe it's good for them. The dems keep losing because the republicans are much better at hypocrisy and nasty campaign tricks like swift boating.

Answer 14

It sounds like you really need to get a hobby.



It's not healthy to care about this stuff that much.
