Wining by .2% is not really a "victory".

When you are right, you are right

Did you see the videos of coin tosses that were used in 6 precincts? Hillary won all the coin tosses. How annoying is that!? I had to turn off the news.

 

[BoyNextDoor]

Not annoying at all. Chance favors the prepared. And Bernie is prepared.

Wait? Where do you live where that's not a victory and it should be put in quotes. Cus here on Earth winning by .000000000000001 is really a victory and if you think it's not I'd like to take you to the Kentucky Derby.

A bit of reality check on the progress toward the Democratic nomination following Iowa:

Needed to win the nomination: 2,382 delegate votes.

The current total (because of the already-committed superdelegates):

Clinton: 385

Sanders: 29

They aren't starting the primaries from a level playing field.

 

[Sean Renaud]

Yeah. But they aren't legally obligated to her or anything. I think that speaks volumes about the investigation into Hillary though. The people in the know do not seem to be abandoning ship and frankly if there was better than 50/50 odds on Hillary three months ago was the time to throw her under the bus and the apologize if she pulled through.

U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders

It's outrageous that in the industrialized world, the United States is No. 1 in billionaires and No. 1 in childhood poverty. This must end!

I don't believe the US is #1 in childhood poverty. Of course, this may be a matter of how you define poverty.

That's from 2013. Searching for articles in the past year only it seems the US has moved to #1.

As I expected, they are defining poverty by comparing incomes. By that logic, if you have a wealthy community where the average income is $1,000,000, a family with an income of $800,000 would be considered to be impoverished.

 

[Liar]

So, lemme get this straight... Either Clinton won narrowly or Sanders might upon review or re-count. Either way it's essentially a tie and the difference is a delegate or three one way or the other.

Sanders and the superdelegates

The superdelegates can switch at any time for any reason, but they certainly aren't going to switch barring evidence that Sanders would be a stronger general election candidate than Clinton, which no one seems to believe is the case.

There's also the small matter of the fact that Sanders isn't actually in the Democratic party, which is going to matter more to Dem officeholders than it will to voters.

I still see little possibility Sanders can win any state in the primaries/caucuses where the Democratic vote isn't dominated by white liberals, as it is in Iowa. In other words, nothing outside of New England, Minnesota, and Oregon.

Go to a "ghetto" big box store and see the EBT card use. Then talk to me about the poverty. Same old Democratic song and dance.

Honestly it really doesn't matter who won because in the end Clinton will be the democratic nominee in November; barring, of course, a bizarre circumstance where the FBI prefers charges to the DoJ and she's indicted. Should that happen look for Joe Biden to magically become the nominee with batshit crazy Elizabeth Warren as his running mate. Seriously, how weird is it that the progressives in charge of the democratic party look at Bernie Sanders and think, "He's too much of a nut job for us"?

They certainly aren't going to switch because Sanders' campaign director suggests they will.

Your logic is impeccable.

Yeah, I ws just reiterating the point that superdelegates aren't locked to a particular person.

 

[sr71plt]

If she gets indicted, I can see superdelegates switching (but also madly looking for someone else to come into the race, not necessarily switching to Sanders, who superdelegates know doesn't have a chance in hell of passing his wish list even if he gets that far). The superdelegates, unlike several posting here, can see down the road on primaries and count noses. They are concerned but not panicked at this point. If Clinton isn't at 60 percent or more after super Tuesday they might begin looking around to switch to someone currently undeclared.

Here he is ... ROCK you like a Hurricane!

‘Hurricane Bernie’ hits New York


Roughly 50 supporters of the Vermont senator braved the inclement weather here Wednesday afternoon to file legally required petitions ahead of the New York Primary on April 19. Technically, they were delivering the requisite 5,000 signatures from Congressional Districts 5 through 15 to put a slate of delegates supporting Sanders on the primary ballot. But the real achievement they were celebrating was that, statewide, Sanders volunteers had managed to collect 85,000 signatures – 80,000 more than necessary – to put him on the primary ballot as a candidate for the Democratic nomination.
Arthur Schwartz, a lawyer for the Sanders campaign, claimed “not a single paid petitioner” was used to collect the signatures. “They did it as a labor of love,” he said.

A spokesman for Hillary Clinton did not return MSNBC’s request for comment on how many signatures her campaign was able to collect in New York as of this publication.

No....Clinton is Wall St.'s darling child so fuck Sanders.

That's what happened and until she's charged with high treason or some other heinous felony that's what the fuck we are going to get because gutless (D) lemming power.
