Hillary and the GOP in Texas

[TheGreenJacket]

Come on. Why isn't anyone on a national scale reporting about the GOP members who voted for Hillary. They were stuffing the ballot box b/c they think she is easier to beat in November than Obama. Texas is an open primary. Republicans and Independents can vote in the Democratic primary - as long as they only vote in one. Why isn't anyone mentioning this? And if you're a Hillary backer, aren't you a little skeptical of the big win when you got it handed to you in the caucus?

How many Dittoheads do you REALLY think went to the polls and voted for Hillary Clinton?:shifty:

I would say 'lots'. Republicans generally approach elections with a tactical pursuit, ignoring the states that don't matter and focusing on the states that do. It's how 38% of the electorate (Republicans) can win general elections.

Hillary Clinton will be much easier to defeat in November than Barack Obama. Her negatives are sky-high and I bet you won't find 200 Republicans in the country that would vote for her. You would see hundreds of thousands of conservatives showing up to vote McCain, just to vote against Hillary.

I could see those same conservatives voting for Obama because he represents this mystical "change".

Voting Hillary weakens Democrats for November. Same reason Democrats voted Buchanan in New Hampshire GOP Primary in 1996. Just to mess with things.

Just smart politics.
