Clinton's friend in charge of KY vote count

[left-of-center2012]

Wolf Blitzer on CNN just said that Kentucky's Secretary of State (Alison Lundergan Grimes), the person ultimately responsible for counting the votes in today's primary, has been a friend of the Clintons since she was a girl, and that she has campaigned alongside Hillary for the Democratic nomination for President in recent weeks.

Make of it what you may.

[Dem2]

1. Democrats are friends with each other?

What's next, dogs and cats playing pinball together?

[SCantiGOP]

28. Biggest BS OP title today

[Dem2]

32. Most are BS

haha, that's kind of funny. BS titles for BS.

[puffy socks]

51. Accurate as well! nt

[NightWatcher]

2. Can Hillary fix the General Election too?

Hey it will prevent a Trump presidency

[TimPlo]

39. That assuming that Trump

was not part of the Fix. I mean Bill Clinton in a phone call urged Trump to run. Why would he do that when his political partner for life was running.

[sheshe2]

44. Link?

[TimPlo]

47. Link?

[sheshe2]

50. You got nothing.

Thanks for confirming. Lol~

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. Well, *I* know what I make of it...........don't know about anyone else. n/t

[sheshe2]

45. What do you make of it?

[msongs]

4. well there's a shocker, real democrats are friends with each other while bernie sits alone nt

[sheshe2]

42. The horrors!!!!

Real Dems are friends.

[Darb]

5. Foil is too tight, better check it.

What the fuck is with the bernies.

[itsrobert]

6. Great picture

Job well done by both.

[Agschmid]

7. And it begins...

Wow.

[MirrorAshes]

15. Like clockwork.... nt

[sheshe2]

49. Many good people campaigned for Grimes.

She was trying to ditch Mitch. That includes Senator Warren. Did Warren get tossed under the bus again too?

Wow.

[Maru Kitteh]

8. .

Tell us more?

[PeaceNikki]

9. Yes, unlike her opponents, she has a great deal of good Democrats who support her.

[DefenseLawyer]

10. She was a train wreck of a Senate candidate as well.

But hey, she's a loyal member of the club.

[Stallion]

11. Unsupported Suggestions of Fraud Are Embarrassing

guess what she has friends in all 50 states because she is most qualified candidate-that's why 98% of Democratic Officeholders that are Super Delegates support her and 100% will vote for her

[left-of-center2012]

24. "Unsupported Suggestions of Fraud"

Not sure that's what Wolf Blitzer was saying.
I think he was just making an observation.

[Skid Rogue]

13. *sigh*

[RBInMaine]

14. And the insane conspiracy theories keep an a-rolling along.

[Dr Hobbitstein]

16. Democrats friends with Democrats?

What is this world coming to?

[QC]

17. Is she the one that Turtleboy McConnell stomped?

What a great campaign that was

[m-lekktor]

35. she did the skeet shooting "I am not Barack Obama" campaign ad!

She is a piece of work

[QC]

38. Yeah, I remember that. Crapping on Obama worked out real well

for her, didn't it?

At least she didn't accuse him of being a secret agent Muslim and a furriner, like Hillary's campaign did in 2008.

[Recursion]

56. Our only two pick-ups that cycle were people who "crapped on Obama", so it was probably the best

play she had.

They were Graham in FL-2 and Ashford in NE-2. In 2014, those two blue dogs were the only victories against Republican incumbents. Don't think the DNC didn't notice that.

[stonecutter357]

18. Bernie has fails to be elected and it is his fault no one else.

[BeyondGeography]

20. Bernie doesn't need no stinkin' friends

[Doctor Jack]

21. I heard that Hillary was married to a former president too

How deep does this rabbit hole go?!

[obamanut2012]

22. lolz

[Skwmom]

23. All I know is it is hard to believe the vote is SO VERY close in quite a few states & the patternf

of the votes coming in really raises some question.

It would be interesting if Young Turks would interview someone that understands the electronic vote counting.

[Tarc]

25. Why, I bet Alison has black vans parked behind every polling station

ready to load up with Bernie ballots to dump them in the nearest river. maybe Alison herself is driving. Maybe Elvis called shotgun.

[rbrnmw]

36. LOL

Maybe Elvis called shotgun

[Jester Messiah]

26. Stalin's maxim would seem to apply.

What matters is who counts the votes.

[madokie]

27. That grin of Hills

is a real put off to me

[PufPuf23]

29. Hillary Clinton can't get a PR break because she has lied so much and played so many stunts in 2008

and 2016.

The DNC and Democratic establishment failed the Democratic party members by treating Clinton as an incumbent, presumptive nominee, and favored candidate when there is such a high negative perception of Clinton within the party.

[rbrnmw]

30. OK

[MrMickeysMom]

31. Yay! Besties! Aren't they the BEST?

Gee, Isn't democracy GREAT?

[virtualobserver]

33. Didn't she refuse to admit that she voted for President Obama....Why yes she did!

[HooptieWagon]

34. Naturally. Just like W's Fl campaign chair was SoS,....

And in charge of voter registrations and ballot counting.

[left-of-center2012]

37. Please remind me who the Governor of Florida was ?

[left-of-center2012]

40. Don't be harsh on Wolf Blitzer !

He was simply making an observation.
Sort of a "Well, looky here" type statement.

[bahrbearian]

41. re·cuse

riˈkyo͞oz/Submit
verbNORTH AMERICAN
challenge (a judge, prosecutor, or juror) as unqualified to perform legal duties because of a possible conflict of interest or lack of impartiality.

[left-of-center2012]

43. KY Sec of State just said Clinton the unofficial winner of KY

Hey! Without all the votes in and nothing official, Kentucky's Secretary of State (Alison Lundergan Grimes) just told Wolf Blitzer that Hillary Clinton is the "unofficial winner" of he Kentucky Democratic primary.

[PeaceNikki]

46. There are only about 700 votes out, even if Sanders got them all,

he can't close the gap. And since the results aren't going to be certified for a couple weeks, any win is unofficial until then.

[passiveporcupine]

48. Sorry...that's not enough for me to indict her.

You're going to have to give me more.

[Retrograde]

52. So is Alex Padilla of California

and many other prominent Dems. It may have something to do with the years Ms Clinton has put in cultivating them.

[ecstatic]

53. Omfg! Every f*cking loss is a conspiracy. Pathetic!

Grow up.

[desmiller]

54. Oh I remember her!! The one who lost to the turtle and disappeared without a trace!!!

[workinclasszero]

55. I see two strong democratic women

Is this supposed to be a problem?

I'm sure that would scare Trump voters.
