Sanders defeats Biden in North Dakota

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) defeated former Vice President Joe Biden in the North Dakota Democratic presidential primary on Tuesday, prevailing in a state he had also won in 2016.

With 100 percent of precincts reporting, Sanders received 53 percent of the vote, while Biden got just under 40 percent.

North Dakota awards 14 pledged delegates, tying Wyoming for hosting the smallest nominating race in the continental United States.

Because of this, the win isn't much more than a consolation prize for Sanders, who had an otherwise disappointing night at the polls.

1. He got his participation trophy.

2. He does have a knack for winning if its a caucus.

7. The caucus system really needs to be replaced with primaries. I learned from Nevada that millions

of early votes were rendered null and void because the in person caucus goers got to dictate the candidate ordering #1 vs #2 vs #3.

After they had the ordering, then they went to the millions of early votes to slot them in accordingly.

The issue to me was that if I early voted Elizabeth Warren as my #1 choice, but the caucus goers made her #3, then my #1 early vote didn't count.

Unless they put the early votes into the initial candidate ordering, the caucuses need to be disbanded as they are inherently unfair.

Hoping there is large turnout in November. Good on Bernie.

Closing the gap! Biden is only ahead by 164 now.

8. Thanks for the link to the delegate tracker.

It will save me many hours of enduring Kornacki's hyper wild gesticulating to get the information, and in so much less time.

9. I used to like Kornacki,

but recently he has either been full of himself or full of meth. Hopefully he doesn't get Tweety's 7 PM Eastern Time slot on MSNBC permanently.

10. Yeah I did too. I appreciated his Bridgegate reporting back in the day.

He needs to calm down.
