Oh, that silly suggestion is for people with good consciences…
We always knew that Camp Clinton takes things a little more lightly than us folks who believe that there are reasons for rules. Bill said a weenie washing isn’t really considered sex. Penetration apparently isn’t really penetration. Hillary wants to count the votes from Florida and Michigan even though the DNC warned those states they would be punished if they moved their state primaries. Now we get just a little more insight on the way this crazy woman thinks about the obligations of super and pledged delegates.
FROM CNN: Clinton’s remarks echoed her Monday comments to the editorial board of the Philadelphia Daily News.
“And also remember that pledged delegates in most states are not pledged,” she said Monday. “You know there is no requirement that anybody vote for anybody. They’re just like superdelegates.”
Clinton advisers have cited the altered rule, which dates to 1982 and says only that pledged delegates “shall in all good conscience reflect the sentiments of those who elected them.”
If pledged delegates aren’t pledged delegates, then why are they called pledged delegates. I know that leaves things open for pledged delegates to a change of mind and she’s correct, there is no requirement that they do any thing. The DNC just asks that they act in good conscience. It is understandable that Hillary not consider “good conscience” as a component in the decision making process since she has none.
