Just when you think you've heard it all...

Hillary Clinton as quoted on NPR from her speech in West Virginia:
"If we had the same rules as the rEpublicans, I'd already be the nominee."

[anonymous171]

1. Is she still saying that?

[rocktivity]

2. That's why we're NOT Republicans, Hil.

Though you're welcome to rejoin them.

3. If she's still saying that maybe she should consider running as one.

[tekisui]

4. IF IF IF IF IF IF--It's all she has.

She is running a hypothetical campaign.

[BlooInBloo]

5. Clinton and her supporters definitely wish they could be more like republicans.

[panAmerican]

6. Who the hell is stopping her from becoming a Republican, then?

If they have so much going on for them, then I say to her, don't let the door hit you on the backside as you go!

[lob1]

That was her mistake. She ran as a democrat.

7. i think we can all agree that our rules need fixing.

[DMorgan]

10. Rules need fixing?

Proportional vote, following the rules, one person one vote, wow, that's a HARD standard to follow.

How would you change that?

[dbmk]

15. Well, even the current system is not entirely propotional

It is possible to split delegates or even lose on delegate while winning the popular vote, in the current system.

But its even more likely in a winner takes all system.

[DMorgan]

20. So what are you suggesting? I can't follow your logic.............

If we just choose candidates based upon the MOST VOTES of the MOST voters, men, women, black white, etc etc.......

Wouldn't THAT be best?

Let's try to make the rules look like THAT! Maybe send the superdelegates on a trip to Puerto Rico or someplace while the pledged delegates deal with the REAL representational proportional realities in a convention in DC.

[dbmk]

26. Relax. I wasn't suggesting anything.

Just pointing out that the current system wasn't entirely proportional. Which was what I read from your post that you thought it was.

[dbmk]

11. Surely you don't want to fix it in that direction?

To a system where its even more likely that the delegate winner does not represent to popular vote.

[anonymous171]

14. The Republican rules allowed McCain to become their nominee.

Not a very good system.

[JVS]

18. They only need candidates who are willing to abide by them

[chill_wind]

19. WHEN would you fix them? Sounds like HRC wants the rules changed right now.

Do you advocate that?

[RainDog]

8. also

if we didn't have those eggheads and african-americans, we'd be the republican party too!

[Adelante]

9. Gawd nt

[galaxy21]

Why didn't Bill change it when he had the chance?

[chill_wind]

12. Ok, Hillary, but we don't. Your point?

She said this again today?

[SKKY]

13. Yea, she spews that line all the time...

...that's why I call her "Lieberman Light".

[nyccitizen]

16. As that CNN pundit said last night...

...if my aunt had a male appendage, she'd be my uncle.

17. As my Mom used to say...

"If I had that man's Mercedes sedan and he had a feather up his butt, we'd both be tickled."

[CakeGrrl]

21. Talk about a lot of NON-SUPPORTIVE whining

Way to help unite the Dems, Hillary - make them as bitter as you are about the fact that you're losing.

:eyes:

[knixphan]

22. And IF the south won the civil war...

I'd be a slave today - what's her point?

[TragedyandHope]

23. That's an old line, she's been using it for quite a while now

[teamster633]

25. I was so shocked when I heard her say that.

Now I'm even more shocked that it's one of her recurring justifications. How did this woman get so far in the Democratic primary?

[JBoy]

24. What do you suppose Hillary's reaction would be if Obama said something like that?
