Why fight to the floor?

Hillary Clinton today laid out how she would try to justify contesting the Primary all the way to the Democratic convention — she would blame it on Florida and Michigan.

In an article by Brendan Farrington, Clinton is reported as saying:

In an interview with The Associated Press, Clinton said she is willing to take her fight to seat Florida and Michigan delegates to the convention if the two states want to go that far.

Asked whether she would support the states if they appeal an unfavorable rules committee decision to the convention floor, the former first lady replied:

"Yes I will. I will, because I feel very strongly about this."

"I will consult with Floridians and the voters in Michigan because it's really their voices that are being ignored and their votes that are being discounted, and I'll support whatever the elected officials and the voters in those two states want to do."

How convenient. She is taking up the mantle of the disenfranchised states, of which she is the sole beneficiary. Hillary Clinton's willingness to press her campaign to the convention floor at the risk of the elections and the Democratic party is not an altruistic move. It's selfish. It's time party elders called her on it.
