Rules Are Rules, Except When They Are Not, Part 1 Zillion
By Big Tent Democrat
Speaking for me only.
A lot of outrage in the blogs about this Hillary Clinton statement:
Even elected and caucus delegates are not required to stay with whomever they are pledged to. This is a very carefully constructed process that goes back years, and we're going to follow the process.
(Emphasis supplied.) What Clinton said happens to be true. But it is wrong of her to bring it up, imo. But the rules are the rules and Clinton is playing by them. I have never been a fan of the "rules are rules" argument, particularly since those invoking it are so selective about "the rules." See the blogs on superdelegates for instance.
Here is my rule - the will of the people. Expressed in the popular vote. That is my rule of who should be the nominee.
