Not for profit, of course. Oh no. He’s selling his vote for charity… or something…
[O]ne superdelegate is courting the candidates. He says he’ll sell his vote for a price. A very high price: $20 million.Steven Ybarra of Sacramento says that eight-figure price is peanuts for the presidency.
When asked whether it was right to offer what is clearly a quid pro quo, he responded, “yeah, absolutely. People do it all the time,” answered Ybarra.
But not like this. Not in public and not for such big bucks. It begs the question: Is he crazy?
“Nobody’s said I’m crazy,” said Ybarra.
Ybarra wants every cent of the $20 million to go towards registering and educating eligible Mexican-American voters, who he calls the key to the White House.
“And I keep asking the question of the DNC: ‘why won’t you earmark money for these voters?’ And their answer is, ‘oh, we can’t do that’ Which is a lie,” said Ybarra.
With the Democratic National Committee saying ‘no,’ Ybarra waits for a ‘yes’ from already cash-strapped Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama.
Would he accept less? How about $5 million?
“No, $5 million is nothing,” said Ybarra.
It might be a moot point as neither campaign has come calling.
This doesn’t surprise me in the least. Does it surprise anyone? I mean, really now.
And only a DNC Superdelegate would be concerned with making sure only minority Americans get educated and registered to vote. White male voters need not apply!
Of course, who’s to say this guy won’t just pocket the cash? In either case, this is pretty damn ridiculous. What’s really sad is how very little this story surprises me. Only the DNC would make a wackjob like this guy a superdelegate.
