At this point, it's useless to try to argue with Clinton supporters about the consistent and obvious ethical lapses of the their candidate and her campaign. Facts mean nothing to them.
What's interesting, though, is how out-in-the-open their attempts to disenfranchise voters actually are. First, the immediate disparagement of caucuses and caucusers following Iowa. Then the lawsuit in Nevada. Then the trivializing of South Carolina as tantamount to a 'black win' and nothing more. Then the marginalizing of red states that 'Democrats won't win anyway in the general election.' And now a lawsuit against the process in Texas. And throughout the entire process the relentless insistence on characterizing the growing legion of Obama voters (fellow Democrats) as cultists and Kool-aid drinkers.
The trash and burn style is puzzling. If Clinton does get the nomination, you wonder just how much back-pedaling her campaign is going to have to do to win back all of these groups. I mean this stuff is just buttah for Republicans because it reinforces in the naked light of day the extant and pervasive idea that the Clintons care only about their own power. Their trail of bodies in this campaign astonishes.
Hey, Texas undecideds, this is your future on Hillary Clinton. Just say no.
