76. Real reason Hillary didn't speak up until recently
If she had spoke up at the beginning, she would have risked pi$$ing off the Iowa and New Hampshire voters. She waited until those contests were well behind her before raising this talk of seating Florida and Michigan.

Florida and Michigan were punished to protect the first primary/caucus statuses of New Hampshire and Iowa and (to a lesser extent) Nevada. That's why she was silent until those contests were over.

So she was also lying (by omission) to the Iowa and NH voters. had she been lobbying for the florida and michigan votes to count at that time, how many of those early voters would have supported her?
