1. What the hell is wrong with him?

[Mass]

2. Nothing. He wants to be present in the last primary

What is wrong with the Clinton campaign they do not get that.

And he wants to change the primary rules.

[boston bean]

3. He can change the primary rules without contesting the convention.

He needs to suspend his campaign and move on with reality.

[Mass]

7. Which he will probably do tomorrow or Wednesday, after the last primary.

[Omaha Steve]

9. So ANY candidate that wants to change party rules after the primary's start should be disqualified?

May 31, 2008 The Democratic National Committee's Rules and Bylaws Committee decides to give only half-votes to delegates from Michigan and Florida. Both states held unsanctioned primaries, which Clinton won. The move dashes Clinton's hope that a rule change would help her close the delegate gap with Obama

The tight primary fight between Obama and Clinton is the reason why this has become a radioactive issue. Despite public statements to the contrary last year and now that Obama is on the verge of clinching the Democratic presidential nomination, Clinton has insisted on counting the beauty contest votes as legitimate and seating the delegations according to those votes.

While claiming to speak for the disenfranchised voters in Florida and Michigan — and while counting these votes into her overall popular vote total to make the case for her nomination — Clinton often fails to note the obvious: These major rule changes as the contest nears the end would benefit her and her alone.

11. Rules were changed mid 2008 and it wasn't to Hillary's benefit. nt

[Omaha Steve]

12. At least I provided a link

[boston bean]

13. What does that mean? A link means truth? I don't think so.

[Omaha Steve]

15. Your opinion mojo is so powerfull

[boston bean]

16. The truth is powerful. I don't need a link for that.

[Omaha Steve]

17. Translate no kind of proof to back U up

[boston bean]

18. I don't need proof for well known history, Steve. google thyself if you doubt.

[Omaha Steve]

19. I provided a link

Google your side of the story. I already did.

[boston bean]

20. well, then you know.

[Omaha Steve]

23. .

[seabeyond]

6. Good, so after the last primary that night, he will declare Clinton the winner, right?

[Mass]

8. I totally assume so, and he pretty much said as much

He said he would work with Clinton to beat Trump.

[Omaha Steve]

14. Before the results are known in CAIFORNIA?

[George II]

10. That's not going to happen by doing what he's been doing. Primary rules...

....are established by the individual states, not the Democratic Party.

I don't understand him or his campaign - he could have been working with the Democratic Party for decades to change things but he refused. Now all of a sudden after barely a year of being a democrat he feels he has the right to change the party? On what basis does he have that "right"?

And before we hear once again about the superdelegates, a reminder that one of his top campaign people, Tad Devine, was instrumental in implementing the system of superdelegates. So if he's now unhappy with that (did he ever express any issues with them before this year) perhaps he should have discussed this with Devine first, and perhaps he should have tried to "change the rules" BEFORE agreeing to play by those rules.

4. 1) he's giving DC a chance to vote

2) he actually needs 1840% of DC's pledged delegates nt

[MineralMan]

5. Misplaced decimal point. The Share of DC Delegates

needed is actually 1845%.

[Live and Learn]

21. You still don't get it? nt

[Hortensis]

22. :) But, really, so what? Even the media have mostly

moved on. They'll revisit when something happens, and no doubt he'll give them something, but, again, he has lost. This does have an end point, even if not where some would like it.
