The Clintons Lost Control of the DNC: Hillary's Campaign is Over

On Saturday, the race was over.

Clinton Inc. couldn't get away with changing the rules at the end of the game. Serious deliberation and fairness won out over entitlement at the DNC.

It was a courageous and just moment for the Democratic Party.

After the last two primaries are over on Tuesday, and after Obama meets the new threshold of delegates and becomes the presumptive nominee, if Clinton stays in the race it won't be about what's better for America or "choice" or economic justice; it will just be about the ego of Hillary Clinton and a desire to ruin the chances of the Democratic Party to win in November.

A lot of progressive principles are riding on her choice.

Perhaps she can finally find her true voice: ensuring the return of a just government to America by asserting her loyalty to the Democratic party, the progressive issues at stake for women, minorities, the poor, and the working class Americans in need.

To do this, she would have to douse the flame of her feelings of entitlement, her personal ambition, her battle cry of victimhood, and her feelings of hurt that her campaign was outsmarted by a junior senator from Illinois.

The choice is hers: what's best for the nation or what feels best for Hillary Clinton.

1. The event was a spectacle and a disgrace. She couldn't have it, so no D can have it.

We're lost, absolutely lost.

2. The Clintons came to the Rules meeting totally unprepared

They came in with a blinding sense of entitlement
and got beaten by their own arrogance.
Once again, the Obama team proved to be
master strategists... and they played to win.
Very impressive.

4. Not only that.......

They came at them with the rules. The Dems own rules....LOL....and dared them not to enforce them.

Most brilliant move I have seen in a while......

5. Exactly. The truth and the rule of law are our greatest assets.

6. Kinda throws the idea.......

.... that Obama doesn't know how to play the game out the window, doesn't it?

He knows very well how to play the game. He plays it his own way and in a fashion that keeps the other side guessing until it is too late. So, for all those who think we're getting a patsy and a pushover, a naive guy who has lofty ideas without any basis in reality - think again.

3. Last Saturday's RBC meeting ...........

...was the singlemost bringing home of the truth for Hillary.......they couldn't have been more clear: Get out of the way and make room ...... ouch!

7. We know what her choice is.

And the "Clinton's campaign is OVER" cry has been going on for months. Yet, guess who's still here?
