Reply #42: Wrong. It was the "Four State Pledge" that the state Dems of IA, NH, SC, and NV coerced. [View All]

The state Democratic parites of THOSE states invented their own "rules" above and beyond the "rules" of the DNC in order to protect their PRIVILEGED status. The majority of the candidates interpreted the pledge not to "participate" as requiring that they remove their names from the ballot as was permitted in Michigan but not Florida. The Clinton campaign, in its typically arrogant fashion, essentially "DARED" them to prohibit HER from their ballots and conveniently opted to leave her name on the ballot. Cute. ("Everyone knows it doesn't count," right??)

There a huge amount of gross misinformation and hyper-simplification on DU regarding this FUBAR.
