6. The number of delegates don't equal the number of counties.

From the article:

"Although West Virginia had breathed new life into Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign eight years earlier, it failed to deliver for Clinton's front-running campaign in 2016. Clinton lost every county in the state to Bernie Sanders."

There is also a county by county map showing the results.

In any case it's old news and not relevant. Just pointing out he wasn't lying.

unpledged delegates to vote this way...Sanders had no chance of being the nominee at this point. Same thing happened in 08. But during the WVA primary he was awarded all the votes he was entitled to so this is a bullshit claim in this guy's so called apology article.

laid up...and not actively looking. Part of the pandemic so I don't have to. I want to wait until December when we get the new insurance to deal with either rehab or (I hope not surgery) I am being strict and losing the pandemic pounds so that should help too...Today it feels much better. Last night I was in spasm all night.

insurance also. I dropped to bronze this year and increased dental. 2021 I am going back up to silver. Not allowed to use doctor 2020. Lol. I am doing good. Mostly I tell myself everything is fine, then I get a flash of panic, lol. But I am one of the lucky ones.

And yes, I am being very discipline. Lost the initial increase of weight in spring and down to a healthy weight and more exercising.

Take care of you and really really happy your husband found something, and even better. That is the best outcome.

Finger crossed. I am good until Feb.

Thanks for asking.
