Reply #76: I disagree

Logic, reason, and common decency quite can easily lead one to a different conclusion. Here's mine.

These were not honest contests between the candidates. That is my chief problem with whole thing ... the voters of MI and FL got screwed because of the machinations of their local politicians. Had those contests been properly run, it is possible the entire primary process would have produced a different outcome. One of the other candidates might have had opportunities that were denied them. (Not likely, but who is to say?) One things is clear ... no one can credit these outcomes as being necessarily representative of voter sentiment today.

ALL the candidates agreed at the beginning MI and FL were out of the picture. Now, both remaining candidates are adopting their stance based on the numbers the outcome of these improperly performed primaries contribute to the overall tally. The right thing would be to re-stage these elections and allow the candidates to campaign for the votes. Regrettably, it is too late for that,

What's the right answer at this point? Beats me. What a mess. But Bill Clinton is merely posturing, feigning righteousness, and diminishing his reputation in the eyes of many who once regarded him highly ... and it does not help the situation or the party. Not at all. And at some point, everyone in both camps needs to extract their heads from their asses and put the interests of the Democratic Party and the American people ahead of their own ambitions and feelings.

The country is in deep shit. Both candidates are brilliant people. Properly supported by the Party, both can assemble the finest brain trust since Kennedy. So I am not so concerned about who wins this nomination. Coming out with the "right candidate" may not be nearly as important is going forward boldly, and united.
