Can you feel the Bern?

[Moloch]

He's only ~200 delegates behind Hillary... California alone is worth 475... say hello to President Bernie!

He is 263 delegates behind Hitlery (701, if the super-delegates are also counted). Also, the California democratic primary is semi-closed, and that means that a lot of Bernie supporters will not be allowed to vote. The Clinton machinery is very strong in that state, and I will be really surprised if Bernie manages to outperform Clinton there.  

No, he's not... you are wrong

Google's count is not official... Google shows Bernie winning Washington 72.7% to 27.1%!  Worth 101 delegates, Bernie has 25, Hillary has 9.. that leaves 67 delegates uncounted... 50+ of them will go to Bernie and 17- to Hillary... that's another 33+ for Bernie, making the actual total less than 230 behind...

Then there is Nevada... which just announced they voted for Bernie... Google shows Nevada voting in favor of Hillary by 5.3% margin... except in reality, they just changed their mind...  Google shows 20 Hillary, 15 delegates for Bernie, but that is about to flip... giving Bernie another +10 delegates!

That's less than 220 now... not counting the election fraud in Arizona and Massachusetts and probably other states...


PS. You are also wrong about California... it is semi-closed like you say, but this year, the democratic party IS allowing independents to vote in the democratic primary:

For the June 7, 2016, Presidential Primary Election the following parties notified the Secretary of State that they will allow No Party Preference voters to request their party’s presidential ballot:

    American Independent Party
    Democratic Party
    Libertarian Party

Do all Trump supporters have sex with animals, or just both of your families?

I didn't even realize Trump was running on a legalize bestiality platform... is this new, or did I simply overlook it?

I think with Nevada, some of the delegates didn't show up for the state convention to cast their vote so Sanders ended up winning it.

I think with Nevada, some of the delegates didn't show up for the state convention to cast their vote so Sanders ended up winning it.  

Basically yes... Nevada appointed 8915 delegates to vote at the convention... 4,889 for Hillary and 4,026 for Bernie based on the votes at the caucus (52.6% of the vote somehow gives her 54.8% of the delegates)

The convention is when the nomination actually happens... so these 8915 people need to:
1) Show up
2) Vote for the person they claimed they would vote for during the caucus (some people may have simply changed their mind)

The convention vote ended up being 2,386 for Hillary and 2,964 for Bernie!  Over half of her delegates either did not show up or voted for Bernie

Bernie somehow wins Nevada by an 11% margin (landslide?)... 55.4% to 44.6%


This whole election process is really crazy... caucuses are chaos in a bottle

So those are just the state delegates, correct?  How many Nevada delegates go to the national election for Clinton and Sanders?

Yeah, it's crazy...

The people vote for caucus delegates... who then vote for the actual delegates... Nevada gets 35 actual delegates, so Sanders should get 20 and Clinton 15 (+/- 1)

I've heard that Clinton has a lead in the polls in California and she is expected to win in New York.  But we know that Bernie is gaining in the polls and we've had some surprises.  How likely is it that Bernie wins California and/or New York?

I believe Hillary is from New York, but the recent polls show Bernie taking the lead

California will be an open-primary, so independents will have a chance to vote for the democrat nomination... that pretty much ensures Bernie wins California

[Gronthaing]

I believe Hillary is from New York, but the recent polls show Bernie taking the lead

He has been climbing in the polls but not leading. Still 10 points behind in the latest polls. Last I checked. And less than 2 weeks left to New York.

My bad, that's Wisconsin where he took the lead

In case anyone missed it... Bernie won 7 of the last 8 primaries!

Every one of them was won by a landslide!

Arizona - Clinton won and has 42 delegates, Sanders has 33 (-17.7%) (*Blatant election fraud)
Idaho - Sanders won and has 18 delegates, Clinton has 5 (+56.8%)
Utah - Sanders won and has 27 delegates, Clinton has 6 (+59%)
Alaska - Sanders won and has 13 delegates, Clinton has 3 (+63.2%)
Washington - Sanders won and has 25 delegates, Clinton has 9 (67 delegates still to be selected, 49+/- (73%) for Bernie) (+45.6%)
Hawaii - Sanders won and has 17 delegates, Clinton has 8 (+39.8%)
Wisconsin - Sanders won and has 48 delegates, Clinton has 38 (+13.5%)
Democrats Abroad - Sanders won and has 9 delegates, Clinton has 4 (+37.9%)

And as a bonus, Nevada switched from Clinton to Sanders!
Nevada - Sanders won and has 20 delegates, Clinton has 15 (+10.8%)

With Nevada switching directions, Bernie won 8 of the last 9 primaries...

These fucking Democrat primaries are too complex. Why can't they make them simple, like the GOP primaries? And another thing to remember is that in all of the Democrat primaries the delegates are allocated proportionally. If it was through the "winner-takes-all" method, then Bernie could have easily won the primaries, as he is sure to win a majority of the states.

[Gronthaing]

^ agreed. The process should be simpler. And more transparent too. But winner takes all would be worse in some ways. Could mean the votes of more people don't count in the end.

I believe Hillary is from New York, but the recent polls show Bernie taking the lead

Maybe the visit to the vatican will help with good portion of the voters. Though he will have less time to spend campaigning in new york directly.

What?  Eliminate all those juicy opportunities for corruption?

[Moloch]

And Bernie Sanders wins Wyoming!

55.7% to 44.3% (+11.4%)

Yet somehow they each get 7 delegates?

Why does Hillary win every split?  Did she win 6 coin-tosses in a row again?
