Billary: FL and MI should be heard

"I think that the people of Michigan and Florida spoke in a very convincing way, that they want their voices and their votes to be heard. The turnout in both places was record-breaking and I think that that should be respected," she told reporters. However, Clinton was the only major Democratic candidate on the ballot in Michigan, as a significant number of people there voted "Uncommitted." And it's worth noting that Clinton never spoke this way about Florida and Michigan until right before the South Carolina primary, a contest she lost decisively.

To assert that Billary won the popular elections in MI and FL is... flimsy, at best. No other Democratic challengers were even on the ballot in those states. And many that did show up for the primary knowing that there would be no choice voted "uncommitted". That strikes me as a vote against the Clinton Machine.
