"Hillary Clinton won the popular vote in the primaries 2008 (talk about
rigged!). Admittedly that's a little suspect, but Obama did need the
super delegates to reach the nomination. That is a fact."You would be correct there as I read their total delegate counts as
pledged delegates. Due to the fact the totals were low because of
uncounted states (the whole Michigan/Florida mess) I made the mistake of
seeing the total counts as pledged. Regardless, yes, Hillary staying in until June and Bernie staying in
until June I find quite amusing that you see only as Bernie being a dick.
Hillary did not want to drop out in 2008 for the same reason Bernie
stayed until June...that the candidate they were running against was
short on pledged delegates. So, the super delegates came into play.
Hillary was certainly pondering the contested convention at that point
and did go through her 4 day power play before conceding in June to get
her position in the administration. On top of which, while you seem to think Bernie is a dick, it was the
Clintons that portrayed Obama in a turban in 2008 and this year tried to
smear the Sanders campaign by claiming he and his supporters were sexist
and a "danger to women." That seems a bit more "dickish" to me than running a competitive campaign
to stand up for your values.
