Hillary flew from the north to FL the night of election and celebrated her "win"

[elf]

and got celebrated with CONFETTI for her win in Fl.
Why does nobody mention, what I felt that moment................she's up to something!

HOW CAN SHE CELEBRATE A WIN, WEN IT DOESN'T COUNT

I live in South Fl and know a lot people, who didn't go to vote because they knew, it doesn't count anyway


But look back, she flew that night from north to south so celebrate her "victory"

Am I wrong or did I smell something rotten then

[NotThisTime]

1. Of course you knew it then, and of course you know it now....

[madeline_con]

2. Yes, she's a piece of

work!

[papau]

14. Obama organizing the vote for uncomitted campaign in Mich made him the only one to break pledge

[C_U_L8R]

3. yes you smelled something rotten

indeed

[scarletwoman]

4. I remember that. I thought it was incredibly crass and desperate. Why celebrate a "win" in a state

that isn't supposed to count? Isn't that kind of pathetic?

[Mme. Defarge]

6. I felt at the time that

it did not bode well.

[elf]

8. I think, it was a Clintonian plan

celebrate, blind the eyes of as much people as possible, fix the damage later.....................that was actually what Bill Clinton once said ( I think in the movie "Primary Colors) If you do damage in the election, you ride it out and fix it, when you are elected (paraphrased)

[Why Syzygy]

26. It was just a preview of her vaudeville.

[madfloridian]

5. Picture of her and her surrogates celebrating.

[KittyWampus]

7. hollow victory

[FrenchieCat]

9. photo op for psychop maneuver.....

[ruby slippers]

10. she was in Jacksonville (NE Florida) for a fundraiser after she

agreed not to campaign here, but they said it was ok because it was a "fundraiser" and not a campaign event. Go figure!

I know because I got an email from a friend in the Democratic Party here if I wanted to go (but of course, I didn't)

[elf]

11. See...................

they never ride a clean election, they try to play chess in the most dump way, only to not get caught by smarter players!

edited because I had a language problem(I'm German)

[MonkeyFunk]

20. And Obama held fundraisers in Florida

and he had a press conference, in violation of the pledge. Fundraisers were specifically allowed.

Obama ran ads in Florida, too, in direct contravention of the pledge.

You guys are so full of shit trying to claim that Clinton's fundraiser was illicit. Obama broke the pledge at least twice. Clinton never did. But if it weren't for lies, Obama fans wouldn't have anything to post about.

[hfojvt]

28. and if it weren't for bashing Obama supporters or telling them to shut up

What would Clinton supporters have to say?

That said, I find this OP to be silly. Put on your tinfoilhat and find something muy mysterioso about a candidate taking a victory where she can find it and hoping to build on that momentum. It's hardly a horrible thing to campaign in a state we would need in the fall. This was before Super Tuesday and she could still easily have been the nominee. In fact, I still pessimistically expected her to be, although I had a slim hope that it might stay close enough so that Edwards' delegates could swing the nomination to Obama. Why not throw Florida voters a bone considering some might be upset about being excluded?

What next? Are we gonna speculate that she went down there so she could dispose of another body in the Everglades? :tinfoilhat:

[ruby slippers]

33. Hillary disposing of another body in the Everglades....ha, I never

thought of that. Good one!

[ruby slippers]

32. Obama's ads were NOT run in Florida. They were run in SE Georgia where

the TV market bled over into Jacksonville.....nice try.

[Hansel]

12. She is truly classless. eom

[Gore1FL]

13. she wanted a super tuesday bounce that didn't happen

She was relying on a momentum that did not exist

[billyoc]

15. The Clinton campaign was expecting the RBC to go their way.

Just like they expected a lot of things.

[Ravy]

21. Looks like the RBC will.

Not all the way, but they will back down I think and seat at least half of the delegates.

[billyoc]

22. They sure might. I just want them to make a decision.

[Ravy]

24. I just want them to acknowledge my vote, even half. nt

[remember2000forever]

29. Yes, Business As Usual? Not This Time!

[FlyingSquirrel]

16. (And boy, were her arms TIRED!)

:rofl:

[Pirate Smile]

17. That was when the real farce/disconnected from reality mind-set truly took hold of her campaign.

I remember being shocked and disgusted while watching the play-acted confetti show.

It was also when they overtly started treating the voters like idiots and fools.

[hisownpetard]

18. You smelled it correctly - and it stank! Confetti the size of index cards was the true

tip-off. Why waste so many trees to produce the false gaity of a non-win?
One reason only - to convince the viewers at home that this was truly a huge victory celebration.
How could it NOT be - I mean, she's got CONFETTI!!!

Obama has never had confetti. I think that's usually reserved for conventions and parades.
Once again, her behavior begs the question: how dumb does she think we are?
And the answer is: very.

[elf]

19. YES...

you are so right!

[Big Blue Marble]

23. Dana Milbank gave us the perfect description of the "great victory."

It was a perfect reproduction of an actual victory speech, delivered at a perfectly ersatz celebration at a perfectly pretend location: a faux Italianate palace with lion sculptures, indoor fountains and a commanding view of Interstate 595. The Signature Grand ("Elegant Weddings and Grand Social Occasions") was also holding receptions Tuesday night for a pediatric practice and for a group of optometry students, but the Clinton campaign was the biggest draw: It filled the Silver Palm Room, the Golden Palm Room and the Emerald Palm Room.

25. You did. I noticed it too.

I've wondered why no one has mentioned it. She acted like it was "real".

[Skip Intro]

27. Her acknoledgement of the FL voters, DEM voters, was a service to the party.

[TexasObserver]

30. Hillary's Florida "victory" celebration was a testament to her delusion

She knows she'll never be president, so playing "pretend" like she is president is the next best thing. For her, that's better than the reality.

31. What a waste of jet fuel. n/t
