In latest email, Hillary claims she can win the nomination by winning Puerto Rico

[jenmito]

"Over the next four days, we have the opportunity to make history in the Puerto Rico primary -- and win the national primary vote by redoubling our efforts..."

The subject of the email was "how we win" and I don't know what the "national primary vote" IS, but it definitely can't be the DELEGATE vote. Is she calling the imaginary "popular vote" the "national primary vote" now to somehow make it sound more official? :shrug:

[SoFlaJet]

1. she's friggin crazier

than president cuckoo bananas

[FrenchieCat]

2. Isn't this what Bush does........replace words that he doesn't like with words that he does?

Isn't that creepy?

[Indenturedebtor]

3. Ah hehhehe my friends call me the "Shit maker upper" cause I like to confabulataterate as it was. n

[jenmito]

4. Yup! She's done it before, too. Both she AND McCain would be a third Bush term.

VERY creepy.

[VolcanoJen]

5. Someday when one (or more) of her staffers chooses to write a book about this Primary Season....

.... I'm sure Camp Clinton will call that person "sad," in the same way the Bushies are treating Scott McClellan right now. :-)

[jenmito]

9. I wouldn't be surprised!

:hi:

[yardwork]

6. Is Puerto Rico a "big state?"

[jenmito]

10. In Hillaryland it is...

she claims she'll try to MAKE it a state so now she can justify counting it as a state.

[QueenOfCalifornia]

7. She types these things

in her sleep.

At 3:00 A.M.

[jenmito]

13. It sure seems that way!

:D

[BattyDem]

8. "national primary vote" means "we don't count the caucuses"

:eyes:

She can't declare victory in the "popular vote" because those numbers don't include caucuses, so she's claiming victory in the "primary vote" ... as if that actually means something. The word "delegates" means nothing to her.

[jenmito]

15. I know. Even though her campaign claimed "it's all about the delegates" early on. But now

that she can't win that, it's all about the "popular vote" which doesn't even count all the votes.

[DeschutesRiver]

47. This is so frigging wierd

first a "popular vote" tally that can't be real, now calling it "primary vote" - it would be funny if there weren't so many people who hang off of Hillary's every word, either without the capacity to use reason to know it is fake, or who do have the capacity but have suspended their critical thinking in order to "believe" or have "faith" that somehow a magic word or phrase will be discovered that give the nomination to their candidate.

Sigh - because this has gotten so wierd, I rarely read posts by Hillary supporters anymore. They'd need a whole new dictionary page to include all the new definitons concocted only to help this candidate gain the impossible. Plus, most of those posts don't make sense, either.

[CakeGrrl]

11. "National Primary Vote": Like the "popular vote", but this sounds way more important!

:crazy:

[jenmito]

16. It sounds more "official," but the reality is it doesn't count the caucus states or any MI

votes for Obama.

[anonymous171]

12. I knew they were going to try and pull this bullshit.

:rofl:

[BattyDem]

14. Don't laugh ... we're going to need Puerto Rico's electoral votes in the fall.

Oh wait ...

:P

[jenmito]

17. So did I.

:D

[rateyes]

18. Since when is PR a part of the "nation" called the United STATES

of America?

National PRIMARY vote, huh? My how the Clintons can parse words and make it sound like something it isn't.

By saying PRIMARY rather than POPULAR (thus not counting CAUCUSES)she moves the goalposts yet again.

Hillary, desperation isn't becoming.

[jenmito]

20. It's not and of course they don't vote in the GE. But since when did Hillary care about the will

of the people?

[Mooney]

19. Ah yes, the important swing state of Puerto Rico.

Every Democrat needs to carry Puerto Rico in November.

[jenmito]

22. Her hypocrisy knows no bounds. She counts Puerto Rico but not "the little caucus states that won't

go Democratic anyway." :eyes:

[Mooney]

50. In her defense, I don't think she actually believes what she says.

So at least she's not saying it because she's dumb. And that's got to count for something, right?

[Starbucks Anarchist]

21. So caucus states don't count, but Puerto Rico does?

:rofl:

[jenmito]

23. Of course!

:rofl:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

24. I can't wait to hear where she's from in Puerto Rico.

[jenmito]

32. She said she represents over a million Puerto Ricans in NY. I guess that's as

close as she can get.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

35. I bet she changes her name to H-Lo.

[jenmito]

39. I wouldn't put it past her.

:D

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

44. Are you referring to Hilly from the Block?

:evilgrin:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

48. Ay, Papi.

:rofl:

[jenmito]

49. I'm known as "J-Lo" and "Jenny from the block" in my 'hood.

:D

[frylock]

55. in her puerto rican accent

:rofl:

[zulchzulu]

25. Has she said she's from there yet?

She's from every state apparently, so perhaps I missed one of her speeches in front of a few dozen people in PR.

[jenmito]

37. She DID try to act like a "local" but not yet. It would turn off the "hard-working white people"

supporters.

[book_worm]

26. What will happen when Obama wins South Dakota and Montana?

[LSK]

29. the entire Northwest of the country does not count

[jenmito]

40. It will be called "an insignificant state." She's campaigning in SD now and looked and sounded like

she was sedated. And no Southern accent anymore.

[billyoc]

27. "how we win"

...the Best Original Work of Fiction category...

[jenmito]

34. Exactly.

:hi:

[LSK]

28. well Bill said she won the General already so isnt this all irrelevant?

:sarcasm:

[jenmito]

43. No-he said she's WINNING the GE and Obama's NOT. But we don't know this because

of the media cover-up. :D

[GoesTo11]

30. She would be a horrible president

The way she distorts facts to sell crap, her willingness to destroy to get what she wants, her elevating tactics above strategy.

We can see now that - even if she has Democratic policy positions - she lacks the temperament and more importantly the character to be a suitable president.

How will she get us out of Iraq? Say that we deaths don't count? How will she balance the budget, say that costs don't count?

We've had enough of mission accomplished leadership by spin.

[NC_Nurse]

31. Spot on. She has shown her true colors and they're not

"Presidential" at all.

[PoliticalAmazon]

33. Well, as everyone knows, "As goes Puerto Rico, so goes the nation." NOT.

[Independent-Voter]

36. She's banking on a bunch of old, ignorant, white women to donate $ for her debts. Disgusting

Worst whore than a TV preacher.

[Arugula Latte]

38. It's official...She's is now nuttier than squirrel poop. nt

[nomaco-10]

41. mcauliff told this to tweety some weeks ago...

tweety looked at him in utter disbelief and then chortled as only tweety can do. mcauliff repeated this several more times and tweety's look of amusement faded from his face and a certain look of frustration and disgust took over.

These people are uneffinbeleivable.

[nykym]

42. While they may

be able to vot4e in a primary the truth is:
The ineligibility of Puerto Rican residents to vote in presidential elections, as the US Constitution provides these rights only to full states. (Note, residents the <[District of Columbia only attained this right in 1960 by a constitutional amendment.) P.R. does not have any electors in the U.S. Electoral College, although the Puerto Rico chapters of the Republican and Democratic parties can (and do) have state-like voting delegations to their respective nominating conventions, as well as voting representation in the Democratic and Republican National Committee. [br />So what's the dif!

[high density]

45. "Primary Vote"

That's right caucus states with electoral votes, you are worthless to the Clinton campaign.

[jenmito]

53. Yup. Maybe next it will be "the hard-working white vote." Oh wait...

she already used that one.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

46. "The goalposts need a barge, people!

Get on it!"

[Cha]

51. Poor hilary..if she weren't so mean spirited

I'd have some real sympathy.

[AZBlue]

52. She can also win if she takes Candyland and Whoville.

Although I suspect most Whos are pretty sick of her shenanigans by now.

[democrattotheend]

54. Well, you know, Puerto Rico IS critical in the fall

I don't think any Democrat has ever won the White House without carrying Puerto Rico :sarcasm:
