Hilary...you have disappointed me.

Bossman is here today. Lookin’ spiffy, attempting to impress. Go me.

Going to try a hip hop class tonight…wish me luck as my dancing skills haven’t had a class in years.

In the news world, I’m a little upset with Hillary Clinton.

[[Go Figure, right?]]

Today was the not first time she outwardly encouraged pledged delegates to think openly about who they will vote for, instead of who they pledged to. She told reporters that pledged delegates are simply not bound to abide by their state’s election results, that they are expected to act upon independent judgement and are free to make up their mind however they so choose. Clinton was also quoted in saying that delegates are just like superdelagates in the idea that there is no requirement that “anybody vote for anybody”.

Excuse me, Miss. Clinton? Are you are crazy as you sound? You ma’am, are a nut.

Why the hell would we elect our delegates if we weren’t ensured that they would accurately represent our opinions and in specific represent our vote at the highest of levels…the Presidential Election? And moreso, why in 1982 did The Democratic Party create a new category of delegate, the superdelegates, if we didn’t mean for them to be different from the delegates? If you don’t know, superdelegates are elected officials and party leaders who are free to support any candidate they wish, regardless of the majority vote in the states they represent. In Oregon, you pledge towards a candidate upon being chosen as an elector. Oregon has 7 electoral votes which is the sum or the number of our U.S. Senators (always two) and our U.S. Representatives in which Oregon is entitled. Potential elector candidates are nominated by their respective political parties in the months prior to the big day. Our Constitution allows each state to define its own means for the nomination of its electors. Then in each state voters will choose from a slate of pre-selected candidates for a Presidential Elector; each one represents the different candidates for President. Most state ballots are child-proof and are designed to look as if the voters are casting their vote for the actual candidates for President. States pretty much use the short ballot meaning they vote for one party and that vote is interpreted as a vote for the entire slate of Presidential Electors.

Electors who are pledged to a particular candidate are formally chosen in the popular election which is held on the first Tuesday following the first Monday in November. So on Election Day, when you’re voting for that special candidate, remember you are in fact voting for that candidates elector.

Okay, so now that you know a little bit more about the delegates, lets talk about what Hillary is asking them to become.

A flipping Faithless Elector.

Yep, I said it. And she know’s she’s doing it to

A Faithless Elector is one who puts his electoral vote towards a candidate other then whom he pledged (i.e. convinced the state voters they would vote for) to elect or who just plain refuses to vote for any candidate. There have been instances of this in the past; 71 were changed due to candidate dying, two were not casted, and 85 were changed due to a personal interest. Normally the Faithless Electors are alone in their actions as it’s…

[[listen up Hilary]]

WRONG and SELFISH. You are elected to represent the public majority vote (unless you are a superdelegate) and it’s not okay to act otherwise. Half of our states have laws to punish such an idea. You, Electors, are governed by and are a functionality of the state, and most states require you pledge to a candidate and stick with it! Though most states cannot punish the Faithless Elector till after the deed (Michigan has the right idea, they voted to have the power to cancel the vote), it’s still morally wrong to misrepresent those who elected you to your position.

What are you thinking Clinton? Are you out of your flipping mind asking for such blasphemy? Wipe that nasty, dirty-fighting smirk off your face, we don’t want your smug, rotten politics for four years, we’ve had enough of that.
