Wow! It's really getting press. The one who is to blame, imho, is the Mayor! jillan Mar 2016 #21

Oh geez Kittycat Mar 2016 #25

You don't think the Mayor is in bed with the Clintons...maybe a nice apointment bkkyosemite Mar 2016 #29

Billy boy not talk bkkyosemite Mar 2016 #41

"otherwise promote"...that's the part he absolutely broke. There is no other reason JimDandy Mar 2016 #68

Exactly. There is no HONEST way to claim this was some random visit to a random public place. arcane1 Mar 2016 #70

as long as he does not talk, AlbertCat Mar 2016 #83

He can talk--he just can't hand out buttons or say "Hey everyone, vote for my wife" MADem Mar 2016 #93

It is not illegal for candidates or their surrogates to be at polling places 72DejaVu Mar 2016 #35

In Mass they cannot be within 1500 feet, jillan Mar 2016 #37

Are you trying to claim that actually went to the booths with voters? 72DejaVu Mar 2016 #42

He was inside of the polling place and that is against rules and regs according to the sec of state. jillan Mar 2016 #44

150 feet. In my Los Angeles neighborhood, the average lot is 50 feet of the street lenght. JDPriestly Mar 2016 #58

No, what you're claiming is not what he was doing. MADem Mar 2016 #91

They weren't "solliciting" votes. What they were doing is entirely legal, sorry. MADem Mar 2016 #45

It's just the typical Clinton overstepping, noblesse oblige attitude. JDPriestly Mar 2016 #61

And if you find out that Sanders and/or his surrogates did the same thing.....? MADem Mar 2016 #69

Show me that they did in a state in which it is against the law. JDPriestly Mar 2016 #77

They are only limited by what they can get away without being caught or held accountable for. GoneFishin Mar 2016 #97
