Getting tired of Bernie supporters blaming Hillary for everything.

The same goes for Bernie and his staff. They want to change the rules because they are not happy with the outcomes. They think that every time someone can't vote it is because Hillary or the DNC is behind it. They even blame her and the DNC for scheduling the primaries for 2016 to give Hillary the benefit.

....and Bernie are winning as long as they keep the bullshit coming rapid fire. There is real true hatred for Hillary Clinton, but I don't think even they know why most of the hate is there. It's mob mentality fueled by the promise of a utopian free, free, free that will never happen.

rules in 2008 when she was behind and she personally accused Obama of trying to disenfranchise those in Florida in Michigan, whose delegates, as you may recall, were disquallified by the DNC because the states had refused to adhere to the assigned primary schedule. All the candidates had agreed in advance not to campaign in those states and understood that those votes would not count. Edwards and Obama even had their names removed from the ballot in Michigan, but Clinton did not.

After she won both states, though, she lobbied the DNC for the delegates to be seated and, incredibly, that Obama should get no delegates from Michigan--that those who were not her delegates should be uncommitted. This was at a time when she contacting super delegates and uncommited delegates to arguing that Obama could not win over white working class voters is in key states, so they should switch their votes to her.

In fact the DNC rules committee did change the rules in response to her pleas, in compromise shortly before the Convention.

Clinton had the foresight to see that stripping away the voices of Democratic voters in Michigan and Florida, two key swing states in most election, because of national/state party fighting was an asinine idea. It was one of the most idiotic things done in 2008. Edwards, Obama, and Biden should have said to hell with the DNC and kept their names on the Ballot like Clinton and Dodd did.

Of course, she fought for those delegations to be included and the DNC eventually caved because not seating the Democratic delegation from Michigan and Florida is a very dumb idea.
