(50,983 posts)7. Thom lets get all, not just some, of these lobbyists out of the party.
How can Hillary supporters defend this? Again, Hillary would claim these delegates will have no influence on her policies. Untrue. It is the job of lobbyists to influence policy.
This is horrible. This sucks massively!
Is it any wonder we have turned on Hillary? Not only is she waging a dirty campaign but the company she keeps gives us a very bad impression.
