Reply #56: You can't have primaries without rules. There's no point in having rules

[smoogatz]

unless everyone agrees to abide by them. Hillary initially agreed to abide by the rules, now she's changed her tune. And none of it will affect the outcome. What it does, though, is send a strong message to voters and the super-delegates that the Clintons are as willing as ever to manipulate the rules, engage in legalistic wrangling, and parse meaning endlessly in order to get their way: it's what the definition of is is, and whether it's sex if it's "only" a blowjob, except that it wasn't. In other words, all the Clinton bullshit that annoyed Americans in the '90s will be back to haunt them if somehow Hillary manages to steal the nom. The very thought makes me want to gag.
