Nancy Pelosi: The popular vote doesn't mean jack - "Delegate vote is the currency of the realm at the DNC"!

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi weighs in on Florida and Michigan on the PBS Newshour with Jim Lehrer. She says she wants the two states seated and believes they will be. She also says it's irrelevant whether they increase Clinton's share of the popular vote: "The person who has the most delegates becomes the nominee of the party. It's not been about the popular vote. ... Delegate vote is the currency of the realm at the Democratic National Convention."

Hillary has spun quite a tale about her garnering the popular vote when reality says differently.

I wondered if anyone else saw the irony here. For 7 years we have heard that Bush isn't legitimate because he won the college but lost the popular vote. By that logic Hillary should be the nominee.

Problem is that Hillary doesn't have the popular vote and the nomination process is what it is. OTOH, 2000 wasn't decided by the electorate nor the electoral college so why fret over apples when's you's gots oranges.

It may also be beneficial to read Troll's thread title and what the OP writing says, too.

Ah, your a "hanging chad" type of guy. Or maybe you think Bush paid off the dem dominated SC? Of course the EC decided the election.

Funny. I thought the SC overturned the manual recount ordered in Jeb Bush's state. Oh well.

What you imply is what you imply... many a times quite "out there" but you are entitled to be wrong I guess.

But like I said... it may be beneficial to re-read Troll's thread title and what the OP states. Quite different from 2000 when there is no controversy and Hillary is mathematically impeded from winning the nomination.
