Bill Clinton: Hillary Would Be Winning Under GOP Primary Rules

Political Radar:

Former President Bill Clinton, speaking to reporters after his wife's event in Pittsburgh, PA Monday, said that under the republican primary system -- his wife would be ahead by hundreds of delegates.

"I did not actually get the delegates necessary to have a first power of the nomination under the crazy system the democrats have," Clinton said. "If we were under the republican system which is more like the electoral college, she would have a 300 delegate lead ...It's an eternity 'til the general election, an eternity."

So why wasn't she honest enough to run as a republican?

[LiarLiarIraqsOnFire]

That's a rhetorical question, right?

[siegfried]

I don't think so, I've suspected for some time now to get on a unity ticket with McCain. Her policy views are certainly Republican.

[ohnoyoudidnot!]

Hey, Bill, I think you're onto something. Why don't you and Hillary flip and join the GOP? I think it's a better fit for all of us.

[granamica]

Well, next time she can run as a Republican. Problem solved.

[gjklbc]

Using Bill's same analogy, Bush wouldn't be president if there were the same representable distribution rules in the general.
Then again, if my grandma had ball's, she'd be my grandpa.

[StillIRise]

Too funny!!! :)

Still I Rise

[ohnoyoudidnot!]

LMAO!! What would that make yer grandpa?

[LiarLiarIraqsOnFire]

As my Grandma used to say, ...and if frogs had wings they wouldn't bump their asses when they land.

[dollphingurl]

that's it bill, we should ape the republicans 'cause THEY are the ones who get it right.....­.and under their system, Bush won the GOP primaries twice.

where the Wizard's flying monkeys when we need 'em?

[LiarLiarIraqsOnFire]

The Flying Monkeys are working for Blackwater in Iraq.

Congrats to the Clintons for doing what the Republican party could not - splitting the Democratic party and making a McCain victory possible.

Their craving for power and money knows no bounds.

[clbrune]

Since half the party backs clinton, you could also blame Obama for splitting the party.

And the caucus system for losing the general election.

[Aleka4]

Don't you ever wonder why no one else ever complained about that?

Don't you think that -maybe- Clinton is - BECAUSE SHES LOSING?

[atomicprince]

Yeh that Fu**in Obama. How can he win more primaries and delegates and still stick around? Why don't he drop his campaign right now since Clintons want to be in WH so bad? That stupid Obama, Why don't he let Clinton be the president for 8 more years since they are entitled to it?

Stupid Obama

[RanTheMan]

I guess she should have run as a Republican then.

Oops. Too late.
See ya' in 2016, Hil!

[heal57]

Hillary should be on McCain's ticket. Then she could wake him up when he falls asleep in meetings, and Bill could scout the Republican broads hanging around. What a deal. They could have the United States attack every country in the Middle East.

[Newman9]

And wouldn't it be so much more appropriate for Hillary to be on the Republican ticket.

[AxelDC]

Then tell her to switch parties and run as a McCain's running mate. Good riddance to the pair of you!

[superduperandy]

Great point Bill! If only we had a system that didn't reflect the popular vote whatsoever. Hey, if we only had a Despotism things would be even better still, right?

[Podewumun]

Bill, you're not just losing it, you've lost it, man. Go take a nap or something.

[kevenseven]

Or have a half pound cheeseburger with bacon and avocado.

[ohnoyoudidnot!]

Or get an MRI of yer brain 'cause it seems to be atrophying­...

[LiarLiarIraqsOnFire]

Maybe one of the interns could bring him a pizza & a cigar.

[lorla]

Let's ust let her run against Obama in the general. After all she IS a republican.

[ammitusen]

well, i suppose if Bill and Hillary prefer the Republican Way of doing things they should simply switch sides. looks to me like they have anyway. Hillary and McCain can do a cute duet rendition of "Bomb Bomb Bomb, Bomb Bomb Iran" while Bill plays his sax.

[nclayla]

Gosh, if I didn't know better, it would almost sound as if Bill was 'whining".

[RainAndWind]

He is. The party didn't treat them right; it's payback time.

[mattashell]

Of course, a system that awards the nomination to the candidate behind in popular votes by more than 800,000 is much superior to the one in place now. That bypass surgery was harder on Bill than we thought.
