Why did Hillary agree to the DNC's decision regarding FLand MI in the first place?

Question

Also, why didn't she contest the DNC's decision prior to FL and MI primary?

I would be curious to know what some of you honestly think about this situation.

Answer 1

She didn't protest and take her name off the ballot in MI and she campaigned in FL to cheat her opponents out of delegates. Clintons don't play fair

Answer 2

She has no authority over the DNC, so could not do anything. Of course, as she crashes and burns, she will fight to get those delegates seated. But it would be unfair since the other candidates had withdrawn from the race and were not even on the ballot in at least Michigan but she stayed on. I personally was irritated at all of the candidates for not campaigning in those states, as those people have a right to vote also-- and this preference for NH and Iowa is silly. But since some were on the ballot and some were not, they should not count at the convention.

Answer 3

Hillary nor Obama had any input into that decision. The DNC made the rules and it is up to them to enforce them. Clinton, Edwards and Obama were on the ballot in Florida...there are percentages for ALL three. Michigan...Obama MADE the choice not to participate.



And why should HILLARY contest? Obama has a mouth! Why didn't he? Oh, he was too busy remember his lies.

Answer 4

The FL and MI delegates' fates were decided by the DNC long before anyone put together a ballot. As a calculating conniver, Hilary continued to put herself on their ballots despite the DNC ruling. The other candidates followed the DNC ruling. This is a calculated ploy to run unopposed.

Answer 5

It was not up to her & she had no say about it, neither did the voters. We were just told. Click on the link so you can learn what went on:

Edit: It is not true that all the candidates were not on the ballot. They were all on it. I know because I voted in FL. The only camdidate that had campaign ads running on TV was Obama. No one else campaigned in FL.

.

Answer 6

because hillary never thought in her wildest imagination that she'd be in this position.



if you can recall, she was the front-runner early on.



she figured that she wouldn't need Florida's and Michigan's delegates because she thought she'd deliver a knockout punch to whomever she faced on super-Tuesday.



but it didn't work out that way. people have chosen a message of hope over a message of hatred and divisiveness.



so now she wants to demand that the delegates be seated at the convention, even though they broke the party's rules.



but that's just the clintons being who they are. they think that they are above the law and rules and laws don't apply to them.

Answer 7

She agreed because back then she thought she had it in the bag and it wouldn't matter. Now that her back is against the wall, suddenly she wants to count results where there was no real campaign and her name was the only one on the ballot in one of them...



The lady is crrraaazzzyyy!!!



P.S. I bet Hillary is a total dominatrix in bed. Lol.

Answer 8

I think the elections should be re-run. That's the only fair way to handle things.



The other way would be to seat the delegates, but apportion them according to each candidate's percentage of the vote. That way, they are seated, but have no effect on the outcome.

Answer 9

Because at the time it was decided, it looked like she would not need their votes, now when she needs the delegates she is calling for them to be allowed.

Answer 10

All of the candidates agreed to it. Who knows why? It could be that there were too many states for them to campaign in in such a short length of time.

Answer 11

it was not up to her to agree to it. the DNC imposed the sanctions on the State for moving up the primary date

Answer 12

i think its kind stupid for her to try to get those delegate and i don't think she was in the position to agree or disagree about the DNC decisions

Answer 13

hillary is going to try to get those delegates, trust me. Even though nobody was supposed to try and campaign there

Answer 14

its not her decision its howard deans decision the president of the DNC

Answer 15

Yepper, she did. The fact that she's trying to get them counted now makes her look like what I always thought she was.

Answer 16

because she knows it wasnt a fair win Obamas name wasnt even on the ballot,

Answer 17

well, at least she should get the delegates in Florida; seen Borack's name is in the ballot

Answer 18

She didn't know she would win the irrelevant states. HAHAHA Jokes on her now.
