Clinton setting concession speech to coincide with the anniversay of RFK's death?

[Poll_Blind]

  Last night was the expected and conventional time to give a concession speech and Senator Clinton made a point of not conceding.

  Timing a concession speech to coincide with the anniversary of RFK would seem to be an intentional way to conflate the two events for the emotional benefit her followers.

  Will Clinton conflate the events of that day over 30 years ago and her own loss, perhaps bringing up "silenced voices"?

  There has also been a meme throughout her campaign that Clinton's losses were the result of an unfair prosecution with tragic consequences. Will these things be linked as well?

  Senator Clinton's prior behavior has arguably raised more than a few eyebrows. Will she essentially "milk" the emotion of the day and somehow link it to her own removal from the race, painting herself as a martyr similar to RFK?

1. I seriously doubt it.

4. I guess the thing I really want to know is do you believe she will reference RFK's death in her...

...concession speech? In any way?

8. No.

9. Hey....

I don't know you well, although we've brushed shoulders in passing in the lounge.

But I've got to tell you...you've been one of the most admirable Obama supporters in this forum, if not the most admirable, and I appreciate that.

It's people like you that I'm proud to join with in support of Obama.

:hug:

10. Aww...

:blush:

And a toast to you, Maddy. I know we disagreed on our choice of candidate, but you defended Hillary with the best of them.

:toast: :hug:

She's withdrawing.
Let's move on.

6. I hope not...

even she can't be that dumb!

11. Nah, just unfortunate timing.

Still crossing my fingers that she'll withdraw gracefully.

12. It may be nothing more than hiding the concession in the Friday news dump.

Or it may simply be that she feels she needs the next two days to put things in order.

[rocktivity]

13. Keep in mind that she can still take donations until then.

Or maybe she knows that there being a Kennedy on Obama's VP team means she's out, and this is her way of flipping him the bird.

14. good lord no. Something has happened every day.

[Matariki]

15. Good God. Just fucking let it go already.

16. I am as vulnerable to a juicy good conspiracy theory as the next Sixties damaged Wastrel

but this one sucks

[Poll_Blind]

17. So then overwhelmingly no one believes she will bring up RFK's death in her concession speech.

  Thank you. I guess my own sentiments echo a poster upthread who basically said "She wouldn't be that tactless" and another who said "I sure hope not."
