So She Rips Away the Nomination. And the Point Is?
I've got to get into "real" thinking here. The Clinton's are throat-slitting in their ambition (it isn't a dying need to "save" us little people). They are also total political realist.

Given the situation of things, as we speak, they know that to do all sorts of underhanded shit to rip away this nomination, (while that might cause orgasims in their base), would mean such an alienation of the rest of the party (like ALL the blacks)that she would reign over one of the worst trouncings in the history of presidential elections come November.

So what's the point AND the goal? Is it just to go down as the first woman nominee of a major political party? Obviously, for Bill to have gotten where he did in AK he had to play "wink, wink" racial politics AND when he got into the Oval Office he was one of the finest Republican presidents ever (as he shoved shit down our throats that we would not have taken from any Repub). So maybe it's just as simple as the place in the books and "who gives a damn about destroying the party along the way"! I mean the "first black president" thing was a farce---they basically showed that they had only used the blacks to get where they wanted to go and now the blacks could "shine their shoes" for as much as they really cared about them. Bottom line: I don't think we know the depths of what we are dealing with here...but we are sure as hell going to find out..aren't we?

1. Me? I have her on "Ignore" right now!
She's very disruptive and probably deserves a tombstone.

She can't win. She isn't winning. Why are we still talking about this? She's a true troublemaker!

3. They're not taking nothing away from nobody
except their own good reputations.

They are driving their own campaign
(and the people who work so hard for them)
into the dirt. How shameless.
