Florida, Michigan Are “Embarrassing” For Democrats, Says Bill Clinton

By Sarah Amos

ABC NEWS - Former President Bill Clinton continued to make a case for seating the delegates in Florida and Michigan Wednesday, saying that it's "shocking and embarrassing" to see the Republican party dealing with this situation in a better manner than the Democrats.

President Clinton chose to begin his speech to a crowd in Missoula, Mont. with what turned into a six-minute discussion of the status of Michigan and Florida.

"All [Hillary] has ever asked for is that everybody vote, that we count the voters that show up, this is about the people not the mechanism. If you wanna punish them fine, but don't pretend they don't exist. And don't pretend it didn't happen. And don't pretend that she wasn't willing to let them vote again and help them raise the money to let them vote again," Clinton said.

President Clinton also hinted that if the races in Michigan and Florida had turned out differently, than perhaps the Democratic party would be quicker to come to a resolution.

"We are Democrats. We are supposed to be about the business of empowering," he said. "This should be a great empowerment election, and how ironic it would be … if the thing would be decided by the most disempowering top-down, and I think mindless decision, I can recall in a month of Sundays."

The former president was adamant in his speech, asserting that both states needed to be counted now in order for a Democrat to win them in the general election.

"I never thought it would be the Democratic party that didn't want to count votes in Florida. I thought that was a Republican strategy," Clinton said. "It is hard to see how we win Florida if our best argument is we've already ignored you once, now get in line."
