58. Well josh I have never heard so many excuses

Feb 2016

To violate the rules of the caucus. And I have seen events run by my local party who are staffed by volunteers and have translators on stand by. Some are even professional translators. I have also seen political rallies where again, there are pros on stage. Why? As well meaning as a partisan is, and I believe she was, choice of words can change meaning

I also am betting her original tweet is what she heard...not understanding it came from a Hillary supporter. She is on the stage, supporter is on a corner...sure shit happens. Why she likely walked it back.

But you are making way too many excuses for not respecting the rules. Regardless, one poster said that perhaps NV will see legislation moving it to a primary system.

But seriously, you are wrong on this and you are trying to use this to divide. I promise you...this will not get Latinos to abandon Sanders in droves. This is photo-gate all over again. And Capeheart is still smarting.

I don't think you understand what the word neutral means. Joe the Revelator Feb 2016 #12

He shot it down because of lack of consensus. joshcryer Feb 2016 #17

My understanding is that the rules require a neutral translator. Huerta is not neutral by any Joe the Revelator Feb 2016 #18

Caucus rules are ad hoc nonsense. joshcryer Feb 2016 #20

Are you implying she is neutral? Joe the Revelator Feb 2016 #26

If you're supposed to translate something... joshcryer Feb 2016 #48

And that is why he ruled the way he did nadinbrzezinski Feb 2016 #27

He ruled that way because of the headache. joshcryer Feb 2016 #41

Neither Huerta or the Sanders supporter were neutral nadinbrzezinski Feb 2016 #45

I've never heard of a caucus that wasn't staffed by fully volunteers. joshcryer Feb 2016 #54
