CNN) — Former President Bill Clinton said that Democrats were more likely to lose in November if his wife Hillary Clinton is not the party’s presidential nominee, and suggested some people were trying to “cover this up” and “push and pressure and bully” superdelegates to make up their minds prematurely. "I can’t believe it. It is just frantic the way they are trying to push and pressure and bully all these superdelegates to come out,” he said at a South Dakota campaign stop Sunday, in remarks first reported by ABC News. “'Oh, this is so terrible: The people they want her. Oh, this is so terrible: She is winning the general election, and he is not. Oh my goodness, we have to cover this up.'" The former president added that his wife had not been given the respect she deserved as a legitimate presidential candidate. "She is winning the general election today and he is not, according to all the evidence,” he said. “And I have never seen anything like it. I have never seen a candidate treated so disrespectfully just for running.” “Her only position was, ‘Look, if I lose I'll be a good team player. We will all try to win — but let's let everybody vote, and count every vote,’" he said. The former president suggested that if the New York senator ended the primary season with an edge in the popular vote, it would be a significant development. "If you vote for her and she does well in Montana and she does well in Puerto Rico, when this is over she will be ahead in the popular vote,” said Clinton. “And they're trying to get her to cry uncle before the Democratic Party has to decide what to do in Florida and Michigan” – which the party would need to do “unless we want to lose the election. " The current requirement to claim the Democratic presidential nomination is 2,026 delegates, a formula that does not take into account delegates from Florida and Michigan, whose contests were not sanctioned by the party – although if those votes were to be counted as cast, Hillary Clinton would still currently trail rival Barack Obama in the overall delegate count. The former president said Sunday that the media had unfairly attacked his wife since the Iowa caucuses, repeating an often-used charge that press coverage had made him feel as though he were living in a “fun house.” "If you notice, there hasn't been a lot of publicity on these polls I just told you about,” he said. “It is the first time you've heard it? Why do you think that is? Why do you think? Don't you think if the polls were the reverse and he was winning the Electoral College against Senator McCain and Hillary was losing it, it would be blasted on every television station?” He added, “You would know it wouldn't you? It wouldn't be a little secret. And there is another Electoral College poll that I saw yesterday had her over 300 electoral votes…. She will win the general election if you nominate her. They're just trying to make sure you don't."

It's a conspiracy I tell you. LOL! Bill Clinton needs to define who "they" are. But I think everyone on this forum knows who "they" are already.
God is always good!
I never required an x-ray to see into Hillary's dark soul. Real conservatives saw it a long time ago while many if not most of the libs on this board hopped on the Barry O-train. Bill as the new poster boy for racism is creepy. Not that he doesn't deserve a smack in the teeth, but IMO, he isn't a racist, nor is she. The PC acolytes turn on folks quickly indeed. America Firsters have been proven right about taxes, welfare, the Soviet empire, missile defense, and oil exploration. Question for libs. Have you ever been correct about anything? I cannot remember anything.
Ha......
is using them racist?
non-racist... Encompasses three different views.. One...liar Two...kidding me Three...Kidding themselves No such animal, never met one. I am a racist because I prefer my own kind just as Obama says. That is not illegal, immoral or fattening, hanging the racist tag on anyone is in the same league as the bigot and anti semetic tag.
Hear hear.
I'm a racist too and have been since local government began to bus kids from my neighborhood into Brownsville schools, and those kids into ours. Forcible integration hasn't worked out real well, since today, Brownsville is back to all black and the whites have fled to safer environments.
PC tagging of anyone as a "racist" is an act of intimidation as there is no way anyone can "prove" they are NOT racist. Has does one prove themselves not anti-semtic???? Cannot be done. Prove yourself not a racist???? Can not be done. It is not illegal "YET" to prefer your own race, or color. Blacks preferring blacks is not racist, ie Obama. Yes, I am white, prefer other whites. Racism attached to others is in the mind and mouth of guilt ridden people.
Only WG'ers are intimidated by being called a racist. Once you accept the label, it's all good.
"Most importantly of all, revealed in this work is the one true cause of the rise and fall of the world's greatest empires - "that all civilizations rise and fall according to their racial homogeneity and nothing else - a nation can survive wars, defeats, natural catastrophes, but not racial dissolution".
Oh, so the guy who denied that 9/11 was a conspiracy now has his own conspiracy for us to believe in. Shut up and go home, Bill.
Excellent resource, Cyni. Dead on true.
Nice shot.
"Satan / Cheney in "08" Thanks you Bill! “You would know it wouldn't you? It wouldn't be a little secret. And there is another Electoral College poll that I saw yesterday had her over 300 electoral votes…. She will win the general election if you nominate her. They're just trying to make sure you don't." Is this what they call "cheques and balances"?
If you will go along with me we'll travel with the tideShe will win the general election if you nominate her. They're just trying to make sure you don't."

And I will always keep you on the sheltered side
