(2,262 posts)why did you go with Hillary? It is well known Martin has no desire to support Hillary. Why are you doing it? Just seems odd.

(16,184 posts)For what it's worth, I started supporting Governor O'Malley when he unveiled the best veteran's affairs platform of any candidate this year. I switched back to Clinton after he suspended because Sanders has an absolutely abysmal record on these issues.

(42,862 posts)... nope. I got nothing. But what I can tell you is that this shows his campaign has NO RESPECT for the party, for the party RULES, and no regard for the fact that the party rules are completely LEGAL.
It's a desperate attempt. It's a campaign that's engaging in the exact "dirty tricks" that their candidate is supposed to be against.
Nobody is being disenfranchised. They had ample opportunity to register properly, but they didn't. Whose fault is that?
Play by the rules, or don't play at all.
No do-overs.
No changing the rules in the middle of the game.
No mulligans.
No re-deals. Play the hand you've got ... or FOLD!
