No one seemed to want to protest back then... or challenge the rules of how the candidates in the Democrat party are chosen.

I thought for sure someone pointed this out awhile ago and the libs denied it. Regardless, it's still hilarious.

The only people who cared were the PUMAs, back then. No one else did. Guess it's fine when their candidate wins.

Obama wasn't on the ballot in Michigan. Had he been, he would have likely won the popular vote in the D 2008 primary.

And if the Queen had balls, she'd be the King.

I think she kept Bills in a locked box.

Each time, Hillary pursued the popular vote because she thought that would get her the nomination.

Oops.

That does not negate the fact that Hillary won the popular vote back then...and we saw no uprising among Democrats, aside from angry PUMAs who switched to Republican after that, (which is how I know so much about what they thought...I "helped" them on their little forum, as well as pass out fliers...not that I cared, I was only doing my part to try to keep Obama from being elected), about how "unfair" it was that the popular vote didn't win.

Didn't see any riots. Didn't see anyone crying and screaming in to a microphone for a YouTube video. Didn't see piles of Tweets about how "wrong" it all was. Didn't see safety pins, safe spaces, Play Do time, and getting out of exams because they couldn't handle it. The PUMAs were pissed, but instead of crying about it on national tv, they got to work. They started learning everything that they could about government and how it ran. They switched parties. They voted against Obama. They DID something instead of sniveling about it. Stark difference to what we have seen this time around.

You all can try to spin it around, it doesn't make you look smart. At all.

The Democrats are full of "ifs" and "buts". My "ifs", if Hillary Clinton wasn't the candidate, Trump might not have won the general election and if the party wouldn't have pre-chosen Hillary over Bernie, Trump might not have won the general election.

Running of the old rallies of Obama when he spoke of the corruption of Hillary and what a joke she was put a handful nails in the coffin that was her campaign! I thought, "Gee, no matter he won!" It showed why he won against her and with all the new baggage how silly it was to think she would win in the general election.

Obama did her in good! I bet he voted for Trump!
