How can Hillary claim Puerto Rico popular votes when they can't vote for president.???

[Vote2008]

Does that make sense to anyone?

1. What is the deal with Puerto Rico? Do they get delegates?

[Kittycat]

9. Yes, proportional representation.

as for the OP - it really doesn't matter at this point. Arguing like they are only makes them look worse.

[ShortnFiery]

2. By GAWD! They're in the Primary. HRC's going all the way! Win the Nomination or DESTROY the Party

in the process.

Scorched earth? Your GD right. She's gotten off of "the boat" and she's going all the way. Fuck the Party and the American People, The Clintons will have their White House for a third DLC term. :nuke:

3. Didn't I see people gloating about Obama winning in Guam the

other day?

[Vote2008]

6. But Obama is not counting popular votes.

[bluetrain]

10. I wonder why....

[doc03]

12. Obamatrons like to count caucus states were there are no

popular votes.

[Strelnikov_]

13. So caucus states don't count? n/t

[melody]

16. The problem is Hillary's irrational harping on the popular vote

That's the point of the OP. She also dismisses any states that don't fit into her "new math".

[Webster Green]

17. Jeezus, you fucking dead-enders are tedious..

Unbelievable! :boring:

[ShortnFiery]

21. Yes, the Caucus system that was A OK by HRC's Hubby when he was elected in 92' and 96'

:eyes:

8. I was an Obam supporter

who said Guam and Puerto Rico should not have Primary votes. See below my anger towards Puerto Rico and my reasoning behind it.

[AllentownJake]

4. If Puerto Rico

was trying to become a state I'd have sympathy for them. However they constantly vote against it taking away electoral college votes and potential US Senators and House Reps from the democratic party.

Become a country or become a state...no more of this fucking territory shit.

However its in the DNC rules so yes it counts.

[tularetom]

5. Very little coming from her makes sense to me anymore

[ORDem]

19. Her kitchen sink is backed up and the smell is getting worse every day.

Someone hand her a plunger!!

:eyes:

[Egnever]

7. Yes it makes sense to me

they vote for the dem nominee and we give them a voice that way. I think in the dem race its a valid measure.

It was part of the set up going in and I dont think we do ourselves any favors to try and deny them thier vote.

[BlooInBloo]

11. Um, the same way Obama claims Guam's votes?

[quakerboy]

14. About as much sense

As Dems Abroad, Guam, American Samoa, Add-on Super delegates, Super delegates in general, mixed proportional representation, caucuses, Open primaries, and having 30 levels of conventions(yes, I exaggerate).


That said, I personally think PR needs to, pardon the expression, shit or get off the pot. Same with all the territories. We have states subject to all our laws. We don't need no stinkin' loopholes. Declare Independence or sign up as 51. Think what Quebec would give to have the same freedom and isolation.

[Hippo_Tron]

15. Who cares? Obama won, it's over, end of story

[Zynx]

18. The head of state of Puerto Rico is the president of the United States.

I think some say is fair.

[Secret_Society]

20. If they get delegates

their popular vote should count to just like every other contest.
