SHOCKER: How Hillary Tried To Deny Michigan Primary To Obama - In Her Words

AND PROOF that Hillary Violated A Written Agreement with the DNC and other Democratic candidates?!!



*** Video above begins noting Obama's name wasn't on the ballot. ***

_____________


Can we not even trust Hillary Clinton when she PUTS HER WORD ON PAPER? How bad is that for a candidate, let alone a Democrat, who we want to be our country's leader?

While agreeing to not participate in Michigan's schedule-jumping primary, she turned about-face and refused to remove her name from the ballot and then tried to claim the delegates as hers -- when Barack Obama's name was not even on the ballot, even as he did fulfill his end of the agreement.

SERIOUSLY, IS THIS THE CANDIDATE OF DEMOCRATS?

She Did This To Our Current President!

Am I missing something here? Why is anyone of reasonable mind supporting this candidate, who will do anything, even after PUTTING HER NAME to an agreement, to get her way.

More importantly….

WHY DOES ANYONE THINK ANYTHING SHE IS SAYING NOW IS TO BE BELIEVED?

PLEASE WAKE ME UP FROM THIS BAD DREAM !!!!

________


I think this is important after Flint Michigan and Detroit's issues are coming to the forefront right now, and the debate and town hall will bring subject to light. The Democratic Primary results are too important. The polls are one thing, but truth matters. I hope voters in Michigan choose wisely.

Barack Obama was not so lucky to have been given a fair shake by one Hillary Clinton.

...as I recall. Obviously, with the clarification of who those votes were intended to go to (including some of the votes she actually got) coming from exit polls.

Quite a circus.

That was the big issue in 2008.

However, who knows what would have happened if both candidates campaigned in Michigan.

I believe Obama would have tightened up the race.

I remember the 2008 election full well. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Just wait until Bernie starts closing the delegate gap and see how ugly she gets.

I'm a strong Bernie supporter, to the point where I'm not sure if I can stay on this board after the primary if he's not nominated. That being said, I am also a Michigander and support my state and its (bipartisan) choice in 2008 to challenge the bullshit early state monopoly. Hillary supported us in that. Barack Obama did not. Not sure how you can spin this into Hillary not supporting Michigan.

She's had a very distinguished history of behaving like a snake. Dishonest to the core.

That whole 08 campaign was one big bullying fest. She went from state to state and pulled such low tricks and dirty behavior. I remember her sending in Bob Kerrey to Iowa to endorse HRC during a press conference in which Kerrey said, "I love it that his name is Barack Hussein Obama!" This was when Obama was having serious PR issues because the right wing was casting doubt on his upbringing and suggesting that he was a Muslim. So many sleazy tricks in that campaign.

People make hay about her supposedly having an enemies list. I bet the list of people in DC circles who can't stand her is extremely long.

they tell me 900 things about Donald Trump but he's a fake. She's more like what they claim Donald is. he might want to act like Hitler. and I'm not saying thats a bad comparison or vice vers but she scares me.

I am so disappointed in her. Back when Bill was campaigning for his first run at the Presidency, she stopped in our small city to campaign for him. We were ALL so impressed! The local paper said that she should be the one running for President instead of Bill. I always hoped for the day that she could be the one leading our country. But she is not that person anymore. I know we all change with time, but when integrity leaves talent, it is such a huge waste.

I am so sad and disappointed in direct proportion to how uplifted I am by Sen. Sanders.

However, unlike Hillary, I will keep my pledge to vote for the Democratic candidate, whoever it will be.

But this woman is DINO, she is no different than the GOP, except to say how well she is doing to get people to believe her lies. She is propaganda through & through & this is what her supporters are supporting.

Wall Street fronting is profitable for candidates and for the too big to fails/jails.

Also, she's a well-known woman running for President, and for many who aren't paying attention to anything else, this is all that matters. I wish it was some other, better, woman than Hillary Clinton. To me, she is just a very highly ambitious, self-serving, deceitful liar. How could I ever support that!? I can't and I won't.
