Former President Bill Clinton, husband to Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, suggested Thursday that he’d use his superdelegate vote to support Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) if he won the Democratic nomination.
The former President told The New York Daily News that he did the same thing in 2008 when Hillary Clinton lost the nomination to then-Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL).
“It happened last time,” Clinton told the newspaper. “Last time I did what my candidate asked, I voted for Barack Obama.”
The New York primary is April 19. The Daily News reported that a handful of superdelegates in New York have pledged to support Clinton regardless of the results of the primary.
Tang.
Dang, that makes a point! Way to go, Bill!
Yeah, but that is kind of backwards. Note that he is not saying he will support Bernie. Only that if Bernie wins, then Bill will move to make it unanimous by acclamation afterwards.
Still, it should knock Susan Sarandon and her ilk back on their heels a bit.
Of course. NOW Ms. Sarandon…it’s time to step up and vote DEMOCRATIC…otherwise your support for Bernie is tepid at best and uneducated and moronic at worst.
