Hillary Adviser Terry McAuliffe: It's The Popular Vote, Stupid!
Interviewed on MSNBC just now, Hillary top adviser Terry McAuliffe continued Camp Hillary's efforts to make the case that the pledged del count isn't the metric that should determine the winner of the Dem primary.
Asked directly whether the winner of the pledged del count should be seen as the winner of the primary, McAuliffe sidestepped the question, then said:
By the time we finish this process Hillary Clinton will have moved ahead in the popular vote.
McAuliffe added, unsurprisingly, that he was including Florida in his count. But even including Florida, this is an optimistic projection, to say the least.
Asked directly whether we should see the popular vote as a more important metric than the pledged del count, McAuliffe demurred -- reminding us again that the Hillary camp's main goal will be to obscure the idea that the Dem primary electorate rendered a clear verdict on who their choice as nominee is.
