Donuts And Politics

Nice job. So, apparently these big donors are saying that the Democratic Party should not support the will of all the people who voted in the primaries. Interesting position. Here is part of their letter (emphasis mine):

You suggested super-delegates have an obligation to support the candidate who leads in the pledged delegate count as of June 3rd , whether that lead be by 500 delegates or 2. This is an untenable position that runs counter to the party’s intent in establishing super-delegates in 1984….We have been strong supporters of the DCCC. We therefore urge you to clarify your position on super-delegates and reflect in your comments a more open view to the optional independent actions of each of the delegates at the National Convention in August.

Pelosi has not supported either candidate, but remained neutral. All she said was:

If the votes of the superdelegates overturn what happened in the elections, it would be harmful to the Democratic Party.

I mean, can anyone seriously argue that? And they are trying to say its an “untenable position?” Anyway, her reply through her spokesman was basically: Screw You. You tryin’ to threaten me dawg?

Hey I have an idea, let’s threaten Superdelegates and Democratic leaders to get them to support Clinton! That’ll really change their minds and get them on board fast! What a great way to convince people to support Clinton and really love her from the heart. Threats! Who knew?
