Politricks: Clinton Compares Democratic Party Primary To Zimbabwe Elections

You have to respect Hillary Clinton’s chutzpah. Serious.

Hillary Clinton is pushing harder and harder to convince the DNC to count the votes held in Florida in Michigan. And with reports suggesting that she is just going through the motions of the election, Clinton has apparently decided to ratchet up the rhetoric. During a rally in Florida yesterday, she not only compared the current situation to the 2000 election, she also referenced rigged elections in Zimbabwe: Desperate to get attention for her cause to seat Florida and Michigan delegates, Hillary Clinton compared the plight of Zimbabweans in their recent fraudulent election to the uncounted votes of Michigan and Florida voters saying it is wrong when “people go through the motions of an election only to have them discarded and disregarded.” “We’re seeing that right now in Zimbabwe,” Clinton explained. “Tragically, an election was held, the president lost, they refused to abide by the will of the people,” Clinton told the crowd of senior citizens at a retirement community in south Florida.

Well, what do Zimbabweans really go through? Here’s an account of what happens to people who vote against Mugabe.

    Linking the current democratic nomination to the Zimbabwe election is totally crazy, the popular vote does not factor into the american electoral process so why bring it up? Is she going to wave her magic wand and change the whole process?
