I heard something on the news about Hillary that irritated me.

She was speaking to Michigan voters and she said that the reason she left her name on the ballot was because she believed that their voice should count, that they should not be disenfranchised, that they were important.

What I remember is that she said it didn't matter if she took her name off or not, that the vote didn't count anyway. Later last night, some newshow played the exact quote, which was as I remembered.

She may get points for being clever, but to turn that now into some noble "I'm all about you" rationale makes my skin crawl.

"It's clear this election they're having is not going to count for anything."
