Hillary Clinton has hit a new low in the battle over delegates for the Democratic nomination. Not content to wrangle over superdelegates, now she’s trying to float the message that pledged delegates– those selected by state primaries and caucuses– are not legally bound to vote for the candidate that voters chose:
For the second time in three days, Hillary Clinton has told reporters that the “pledged” delegates awarded based on vote totals in their state are not bound to abide by election results — an idea that has been floated by her or a campaign surrogate several times this month.

This is just more evidence that the Clinton campaign is willing to destroy the Democratic party in order to secure a nomination. I think the party would be hurt enough if superdelegates were to overturn the will of the voters, but can you imagine if enough pledged delegates were convinced to switch their vote and go against the people who sent them to the convention? I can imagine what it would be like: 100 more years in Iraq.
Absolutely disgusting.
