Sanders lied again

[LiberalFighter]

He stated, "... and almost 46 percent of all of the pledged delegates, the real delegates that were voted on by the people."

There he goes again with Bernie Math. He has 1,499 pledged delegates at this time. There are a total of 4,051 pledged delegates. My magic calculator says he has won only 37% of the pledged delegates.

To have 46 percent of the pledged delegates he would need 1,863 of them. I wonder where the 364 delegates are that he says he has?

1. In the ether?

2. They're in his head?

3. To be fair,

he's talking about the total delegates that have already been awarded. Like every thing he does, he leaves things out to mislead voters and make it look like he has a chance.

5. Going that way...

I guess he doesn't understand then that if he has nearly 46% of those already allocated that also means Clinton has 55%.

[SaschaHM]

9. Bingo.

Every time they try to pump Sanders up, they leave out that anything that can be said about him works for Clinton as well.

*Sanders has engaged millions of people. (Hillary has 3 million more votes.)
*Hillary is a weak candidate. (She's kicking his ass.)
*I have X delegates (Hillary has more.)

The list goes on.

4. In his dreams....

[stopbush]

6. Translation = Hillary got 54% of the pledged delegates.

Sesame Street moment: one of these numbers is bigger than the other. Do YOU know which one? 54 or 46?

[LiberalFighter]

8. Oh Oh Oh --- They are both the same

He is rounding them so both have 50%.

[stopbush]

11. Yes. In Bernie math, having an eight-point deficit

means you're tied!

That is why he uses the 46%. He wants people to think "that's half the votes."

[Thinkingabout]

7. It is the math, Hillary has 250 more delegates and she will have half of the pledged delegate count,

she has this locked down, she will have more than the required delegate count, lots of lagniappe.

10. Omitting relevant info., hmmm, no wonder he's afraid to show taxes. eom
