Hillary Ads Ran FULL BLAST at IDAHO CUACUS on EVERY Screen



EDITED to add the original source: https://www.facebook.com/joleen.swan.1/videos/1786592341563944/

SECOND EDIT: Apparently, these sorts of ads are allowed at caucuses. The issue here is that the Hillary ad was much longer and ran multiple times while the Bernie one was very short and only ran once. This angered a number of people. On top of that, Joleen LaPierre (the woman who taped and posted the video), stated from the caucus last night:
"So this is so fucked up, they gave everybody a band to wear and everyone is voting, they say that you can go home after you cast your first vote and after you get your wristband. But then the reading material that I'm reading says that they may do a second and third vote so they're basically telling people to cast their first vote and then go home and then they can potentially vote a second or third time."
She tried to convince everyone to stay. all of this can be read at the facebook link.

Worse, everything she is saying is co-opted from Senator Sanders.

As Senator Obama said, "Hillary is willing to say anything and do nothing."

Also, how is running political ads there even legal? Oh yeah, it's a caucus. Wow.

Wake up America!!!

Also, sorry, the burden of proof is on the people making the conspiratorial allegations. If you think that Hillary conspired to play her videos while shutting out Bernie's, then show some evidence. Other wise this is faked-moon-landing stuff.

Be honest, if it was a Bernie video and not a Hillary video, would you be screaming "conspiracy", or would you just think, OK, they played the candidates' videos at the caucus site.

We both know the answer.

vast Right Wing Conspiracy.

Once Trump starts on her newest "ventures", it will make Benghazi and Rose Law Firm seem like child's play. Not to mention the Republicans. The Democrats have mostly demurred, especially on the Foundation. The non-Democrats are already gearing up.

She's doing a fine job all by herself. She doesn't need us Bernie folks to crash and burn her Coronation.

What's the connection there? Is the DNC running caucuses in the states now?

It seems strange that there would be TVs on at all, but there's absolutely no evidence that they didn't run these videos for both candidates and I fail to see how the DNC would control this.

I've never seen a TV on at a caucus or polling place.

It is very different from a typical primary voting scenario. Supporters speak about the candidates to encourage people to side with them, discussion ensues. The idea of 'no campaigning for a candidate within WW feet' does not apply to a caucus like it does to polling places in most primary states.

(I am just pointing out the basics of a caucus - not commenting on the videos referred to in the OP, btw).

because the person I was responding to didn't know that. I made it clear that I wasn't commenting on the particular scenario with the videos because I don't know.

What is 'SO obnoxious' is that I can't even make a straightforward, informative post in GD: P without someone coming at me from a weird angle.

FFS.

when people get going on a thread it's all about that topic, and comments may not always be strictly relevant. Sorry if offense taken.

GD is not the friendliest of places right now. But info from people in caucus states IS appreciated. I'm in the east and find it fascinating tho I don't care for those big screen ads --that Hillary one is just too creepy. I have not seen the Bernie one. It hits me funny because at my precinct there was not even a Hillary or Bernie SIGN anywhere, much less a giant video! Certainly NOT allowed.

People who are willing to do so stand up and give speeches on behalf of their candidate. A caucus oesn't work the same way a primary or a regular election does.
