Why is MSNBC running Michigan results for the meainingless DEM Primary during the debate? |
|
WTF?????
Uninformed people will watch this and think Clinton truly won 62% of the vote in Michigan when she was the only one on the ballot! I think it's damn impressive others got 38% without being on the ballot!

2. Those un-committeds aren't meaningless. |

I'm sure you don't mean to appear so arrogant.

7. Right. We DO have to figure out how to get them informed. |

Door knocking is only the beginning.

5. It's not the facts, it's misleading to uninformed voters who will assume |
|
they all were on the ballot.

6. aren't there actual delegates at stake...? |
|
The primary isn't "meaningless" at all if it results in delegates being committed to one or another candidate. It might not reflect real voter preferences, but it certainly has meaning! It means Senator Clinton picked up some more delegates.

Michigan lost all their delegates by moving their primary up before feb. 5. Basically, this is a beauty contest.

Well then, it is pretty meaningless, after all! What on earth were they thinking? They disenfranchised their own voters!
