Has Wisconsin's Democratic Party leader flip-flopped on how she'll cast her superdelegate vote?

In November 2015, Laning said she would cast her superdelegate vote at the Democratic National Convention for the presidential candidate who wins the Wisconsin primary.

But after the primary, which was won by Sanders, she reversed that position. She now says she will back whoever is the party’s presumptive nominee -- which at this stage is Clinton.

We rate that a Full Flop.

Guess the rigging of the Wisconsin Primary failed and so now she is backtracking now that Hillary didn't win. Another flip flopper like Hillary.

1. What "rigging of the Wisconsin Primary"?

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

3. Many praised the voter ID laws here because they figured it would depress the College vote.

6. um, bullshit.

A) NOBODY here did that. Nobody. Somebody posted a screenshot of some asshole on FB who did. Not a DUer. Anyt HRC supporter with a fucking brain knows that the largest impact of the GOP Voter ID law is on PoC, who are overfuckingwhelmingly voting for her.
B) There was no "rigging" here in WI, there were no attempts to "rig" the primary - so just stop

"Many praised".... my ass.

9. I saw a couple but I can't name their names, it is against ToS...

It is some of the same people who are now spamming about the Vatican... going so far to even lookup flights for him to suggest he can't fit it to his schedule he'll have to cancel.

10. No, you absofuckinglutely did not.

But - now you are changing "rigging" to... many praised Voter ID.
Then changing "many" to "a couple".

None of it's true. None.

2. Close observers here won't be surprised by Laning's duplicity. She joined Hillary's Gang of 33 ....

... to subvert campaign finance laws while funneling our donations to Hillary's campaign.

The new dems (or whatever we're calling them today) have had the reins of our party since at least 2008. Laning looks like another Trojan horse arrived just as we tossed Mike Tate.

4. You should post a furious insulting message on her facebook page.

That will be sure to get her back in the Bernie column.

7. Dan, I really enjoy your presence here on DU. You are a real treat.

5. What she said:

"I will be supporting the candidate who wins the primary in Wisconsin next year. The Democratic voters in Wisconsin will evaluate each candidate and pick the strongest one and I will cast my vote for the candidate that they pick."

Perhaps she really meant to say "I will cast my vote for the candidate they pick, as long as the candidate they pick is the one I will vote for".

12. She was talking about the "Democratic" voters. Not the come-lately Independents and unaffiliated.

13. You mean the people Hillary will need - but never get - in order to win the general?

Laugh all you want.

8. Perhaps the Sanders supporters can try online threats, that seems to work well

Bernie Sanders’s Supporters Press Hillary Clinton’s Superdelegates to Flip

Mr. Sanders and his backers are trying to cut into Mrs. Clinton’s large lead in pledged delegates by prying away some of her superdelegates. Rank-and-file Sanders activists have taken it upon themselves to assist, using social media, emails and phone calls in ways that have created a backlash among the very people Mr. Sanders is hoping to win over.

A California superdelegate backing Mrs. Clinton, Bob Mulholland, wrote a letter to Mr. Sanders this week saying the outreach to superdelegates from Sanders voters has gotten offensive, including calls coming late at night. Other superdelegates said they have gotten unwanted calls at work from Sanders backers, or have seen their Facebook pages flooded with warnings of political repercussions for supporting Mrs. Clinton.

11. Awwww poor Hillarians

I have more straws to grasp in my pocket. Whine more how it's unfair that a candidate gets called out on her bullshit.
