Our Campaign For Guamanian Voting Rights Has Just Begun
America, get ready for a crusade more important than any. It makes our quest for momentary gas tax relief pale by comparison.
I am talking about Guam, and the rights of its voters to vote. You see, Hillary and I believe that all the votes should count.
Not just the elitist votes in brie-swilling caucuses in liberal enclaves near Omaha and Des Moines.
Guam can't vote in November. And that's wrong. That's why Hillary and I promised, I mean, why Hillary promised to pursue for Guamanians their right to vote in the fall.
This is a question of fundamental principle. That's why we brought it up. That's why we bring up anything we bring up.
So expect us to pursue these voting rights for the remainder of our political careers. The fact that Guam's caucus is over will not distract us from the centrality of its cause in the symphony of American political discourse. We're like that, we stick with principle, just like the impeachment thing.
Guam, we have never been to you, but we're there for you. You will have the right to vote, and God willing, vote for a Clinton. You can't vote for me, former two term Democratic President Bill Clinton, but I've got a wife.
And that's what matters.

You're not just saying this because some Colombian dude donated a Guamanian time-share condo to your library, are you?

I thought it was the other way around.
But I feel their pain in either alternative case.
