7. Hillary Would Have Won A CO Primary

Dec 2016

In a heartbeat just like she did in the WA state worthless primary vote - I don't give a fuck what this BS site says about Sanders - CO is barely blue and only 127,000 participated in caucus. Colorado Care went down in flames, Cory Gardner won in 2014 midterms against a really good man Mark Udall, Mike Coffman again cruised to victory over Morgan Carroll a Sanders progressive pick.

Older Hillary voters left - it was cold, crowded, couldn't hear squat when they were reading the rules. Then off to sit on floors and tiny chairs - it took 3 hours. My friend who left called it a shitstorm

I voted no on open primary because of the cost to the counties and outsiders who do nothing to contribute to the Democratic party except bitch can come in and pick our candidate. That's bullshit - in all my years of phone banking the Unaffiliated voters are the most uninformed folks I've ever encountered.
