I am amazed that after signing a pledge that states should abide by the rules the DNC created regarding moving primaries dates, that Mrs. Clinton wants to have those delegates seated. This, after public statements that those contest in Florida and Michigan will not count for anything, is preposterous.
This is just plain, old fashioned cheating. You break the rules; there are consequences. If you are advocating breaking the rules, then you are a cheater.
I do not care about subtle manipulations of the rules to get your way. I do not care that those in MI and FL want to be seated. The rules are the rules and that is all.
If those delegates are seated then every other delegate should walk out.
Integrity and fairness matter, just like words and actions matter. Repeatedly changing positions just because it benefits you is poor judgment because voters what to see that you stand for something other than winning at all costs. Mrs. Clinton needs to start running a positive campaign based on the future, not the past. That is her only chance to win. The alternative is a self fulfilling prophecy that proves that she will say or do anything to win, no matter the costs.
The voters want better than that this time. We have had too much of "anything goes" politics for that last 7 years with Bush. Hillary is starting to sound a lot like him.

Amen! It seems Mrs. Clinton has not changed her opportunistic ways. Although it is a shame, no one should really be surprised she is taking this position.
