It was supposed to be, I think this is one of Hillary's (ie her and her campaign's) sources of great frustration, they have not been able to move on. I think Hillary called on Sanders to get out the race after the win in AZ (?)... I don't think he was obligated to get out but something has come undone here.
I, for one, would be shocked to find out that the Clinton campaign is simply moving on to other issues after getting its lead from the votes of the African American community.
I am a conservative with deep roots in the Black Lives Matter movement (not to mention welfare and entitlement reform) who is appalled by the Clintons' cynicism in this matter.
I agree. Hasn't this always been the case? Clinton legacy: ended welfare as we knew it (well until 2009), pro intervention, repealed Glass-Steagall and did financial deregulation, anti-crime bill, balanced the budget, close with the financial industry and Wall Street so we know they will be cared for, belief in preserving institutions like NATO and the Fed, with a 30 year track record to back it up.... not just neocons, where can mainstream Republicans find this right now?
Kasich, but without the executive branch regulation crap that really determines this stuff. The important stuff isn't happening at the legislative branch, but at the executive one because of...

Clintons just threw down the Trump. It's no secret they're not afraid of racial politics in the least, especially contra the MSM. Not. Afraid. At. All.
Sure, and it helped him get elected 92/96, this time though he will be shut down for it by the campaign and Hillary will spend energy to explain it away instead. I don't think she can (or will) do what he does anyway.
Funny story: if Hillary Clinton had done this, she'd probably already officially have won the nomination.
She can't, but he can, and he's the one the public remembers.
My problem with Kasich is that when he was the House Budget chair he was one of the bomb throwers. I have heard him claim on the campaign trail that he personally engineered the 1996 government shutdowns against the advice of Dole and Gingrich. He also tries to take full credit for the balanced budget, after joining his party line fight against Clinton's 1993 deficit reduction plan, which plan cut the deficit by almost half before the R's ever took control of the House (the 1996 budget was the first one the R's controlled). I think the guy should get no credit for the balanced budget, he inherited a trajectory he actively tried to stop, and rode it. I also think he got lucky in Ohio, as Trump has pointed out, because Obama saved the auto industry and Ohio struck oil.
What exactly is he doing that both he and his wife haven't done a hundred times before?
The 8 state rule (rule #40 IIRC) is meaningless. The rules committee votes on the rules at the beginning of each convention. That one was voted in in 2012 to block Rand Paul. They can vote it out this time just as easily as they voted it in last time.
I'm not surprised. There's a price to be paid for wanting them back in. I'm willing to pay it but sometimes I wish it wasn't quite this steep...

Are you aware of how bizarre some of these comments are on the backdrop of you vilifying them just a few years ago or do you not think twice about it? Just curious.I'm not surprised.

I do too actually. But I still wish it hadn't happened. Hillary needs the black vote energized in New York. This won't help.
I've evolved in my viewpoint of Hillary Clinton. Seriously I've come to believe that my previous views, which matched many of yours, were media driven, and that she's a much better person than I thought. That's my impression anyhow. I don't know her...
Yeah, I'm not sure what he was supposed to say. I just saw the video and to me he was in the right. When did the only acceptable political move become to capitulate?
Translation: I wish she would address this so I would know how to defend her decision.
IIRC, the party can change the rules before the convention to suit their goals.Mr. Ham said:

I don't think it is fair for you to judge her like this. I don't think any of us have had to deal with the PTSD that comes with being the target of snipers.jon_mx said:
Looking forward to the spectacle of a bunch of nominally Trump delegates voting to change the rules to allow another candidate in against him.
It's interesting not only for her awkward reactions, it's interesting because it keeps happening. You don't see this with Sanders, for instance. I wonder why that is....
Her husband is called out and he attempts to explain his actions. She dismissively cackles at questions she doesn't like. She could learn alot from Bill.
