| 77. It's probably a reference to the crap they pulled yesterday |

Did you see this thread? By the end, the Clinton folks were willing -- hell, eager -- to throw out not just randon individuals but the entire delegation of 2 precincts. (So much for voter enfranchisement, eh, Hills?)
The protest process was tailor-made for alienating committed voters, wearing them out to the point where they would drop out. By the end of the night, the convention floor was abuzz with tired, pissed-off voters who now hate Hillary with the fire of a thousand suns.
I'm one of them. Thanks for sucking those 10 or so hours away from me, Hills. Love ya. Mean it.
In the end, the Hillary camp did successfully win challenges on 22 delegates. Out of a total of 2,650. When the announcement came, we calculated that the 10-hour delay of the start of our convention averaged roughly a successful challenge only every 30 minutes.
So we stayed. Surprise, Hillary! Not a single delegate OR ALTERNATE left early from my precinct, which meant that the delegation not continuing on to state spent 12 hours making the Texas delegate count official.http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...
