I have found some interesting facts while watching C-Span last night. The minority leader of the Florida legislature was on.
He said that every state which moved up their primaries were originally told that their votes would not count but after a DNC meeting in Atlanta, these same states were granted an exemption except for Michigan and Florida.
The Democratic minority in Florida Legislature tried to get a bill passed moving the primary back to February 5th put the bill was voted down by the majority Republicans in the legislature.
All candidates signed an agreement that they would not campaign in Florida but all candidates names were left on the ballot – everyone!
Over 1.75 million Democrats voted in that primary every knowing that their votes might not count and they voted overwhelming for Hillary. If this vote was counted, Hillary could be in the lead in the popular vote.
So, who is pulling the strings here? Is it the Republican’s because they know they will not be able to beat Hillary or is it the Democrats who don’t want Hillary to be the party nominee?
I report – you decide.
