[arlington.mass]

Face it, Bernie won the state of Nevada

Hillary won the casinos

Draw your own conclusions

[artyteacher]

1. hystetical. eom

[BillZBubb]

3. hystetical? Do I need a new dictionary?

[artyteacher]

13. Lol you would have thought

Autocorrect would have caught that.


*hysterical

[72DejaVu]

2. Thats like saying a candidate with fewer votes won Illinois

their opponent only won Chicago.

[FarPoint]

4. Mr. Sanders did not win...

You must move forward....

[stopbush]

5. Yea. Bernie was YUGE in Area 51 and all of the other parts of NV

where the population density is .0001 people per square mile.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

6. Do you think the seminal poster is laboring under the assumption...

Do you think the seminal poster is laboring under the assumption casino guests voted in the caucuses and not the hotel wait staffs where the casinos are located?

[stopbush]

14. I think they looked at the map of post-caucus NV

and saw that 80% of it was in the color they used to show whence came Bernie's votes.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

16. 70% of Nevadans live in Clark County, the Vegas SMSA, as you know.

I wish I was at the Caesars to watch the wait staff caucus. They are the salt of the earth.

[stopbush]

17. I know. I lived in Vegas for three years.

I continue to be surprised by the stupidity of some people.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

19. My gf's gf lives on Decatur. She used to live on Paradise Road, near the former Best Western Caravan

I don't gamble but I like Vegas, more than Disney World, lol.

[stopbush]

21. One doesn't hit The Strip much if you live there.

I lived in Summerlin, near where Lake Mead nears the 215 on the west side. We liked living there, but you do get island fever - you're five hours away from the next-closest point of civilization.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

24. Summerlin doesn't seem that far out. I went to the Cheesecake Factory there./nt

[stopbush]

26. About 14 miles from The Strip.

It's all master-plan communities built out of the rubble of the desert. If they didn't build it, pave it or plant it, it wouldn't exist.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

27. Is that where Tyson and Mayweather live?

I can't imagine them living anywhere else in Vegas.

[JTFrog]

7. Whoops.

[brooklynite]

8. So working class hospitality workers don't count...

How kind.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

11. Obviously not

[Agschmid]

9. Ummm...

[Adrahil]

10. ah yes.... The bad loser brigade counter-attacks.

Sorry... I know you guys were hoping for a YUGE upset.

[JRLeft]

12. This is paranoia he lost, I wish he won but he didn't.

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

15. Shrug.

He lost by 4 points or so, while national rolling polls have him down 7 or so, in a 'firewall' state.

That bodes really well for non-Firewall states.

[JRLeft]

20. We'll see. I hope you're right, but I don't see a pathway to victory but will fight until the race

has declared a victor.

[MohRokTah]

23. C urrently a 5.5% loss.

That a loss no matter how much you wish it wasn't.

[lunamagica]

28. SBS 47% HRC 53% that's 6, not 4. A solid win for her. n/t

[KingFlorez]

18. The conclusion that I draw is that you are grasping at straws

It's Republican logic to subtract part of a state and claim their candidate won. Who are you to decide who counts and who doesn't count as a voter?

[randome]

25. Those who voted for Clinton were not REAL voters. Come on!

[hr][font color="blue"][center]The truth doesn’t always set you free.
Sometimes it builds a bigger cage around the one you’re already in.[/center][/font][hr]

[itsrobert]

29. Yup, blacks, latinos, the elderly, union members

Not real voters.

[comradebillyboy]

32. You left out registered Democrats who went heavily to Clinton as well

[lunamagica]

34. And women

[MohRokTah]

22. .

[Bleacher Creature]

30. Remember when the GOP claimed that their votes mattered more?

How they were the party of "real Americans" and not of "those people."

You might not want to go there.

[nolabels]

36. But since you did, does your camp have a solid plan on Gerrymandering

Is it the most votes, the most qualifying votes, the votes in the correct place, the votes with the most money, etc. You are probably just wanting to parrot the things you have been told. If you would rather just want to mock (considering you probably don't have any real and workable answers) then be my guest

(snip)
In the midterm elections, Republicans appear to have won their largest House majority since the Hoover administration. Republicans won on the weakness of Democratic candidates, a poor resource allocation strategy by Democratic party leaders, particularly DCCC chair Steve Israel, and an election narrative that did little to inspire base Democratic voters. That being said, in many ways, the game was rigged from the start. The GOP benefitted from the most egregious gerrymandering in American history.

[wyldwolf]

31. just another example of the bizarro world some 'progressives' live in.

[Starry Messenger]

33. Oh, I've got lots of conclusions

[NurseJackie]

35. Actually, that's not how it works. But ... whatever.

[Zynx]

37. Lol wut.

Okay. Whatever makes you feel better.

[Odin2005]

38. She was given the state by Harry Reid's state political machine.
