I thought Tyler Perdigo predicted a 14-0 shutout.
On edit - added " or 7-7 split"

(3,660 posts)Granted that's the usual case for Hillary followers and something they don't agree with. He just said she ran the risk of being shut out.

(3,660 posts)Please answer me why Hillary followers seem to always twist and misrepresent what people say so much? And then to actually quote him saying something different from what you implied, just takes the cake.
He said she "runs the risk". Did he say "I predict she would be shut out"? Nope. His prediction numbers above where you quoted from even say that she wouldn't because her percentage was higher than the 15%.
So what is it? Is the truth not good enough to use?

(94,748 posts)Wyoming has a closed caucus, which Bernie has consistently done very well in. He has won all seven closed caucuses to date (counting the recent Nevada flip).
Wyoming has the second lowest population of Black voters in the nation, 0.8%, second only to Idaho.
Bernie Sanders has a greater social media presence in Wyoming than every other state that has voted so far, with the exception of Vermont.
Hillary Clinton has a very low amount of Google search interest in Wyoming; its her third worst state in this regard, behind only Idaho and Vermont.
I wouldnt be surprised to see Hillary drop below 20% in Wyoming by the time the caucus results are in. As we witnessed in Alaska, at caucus locations where Hillary has very little support, she runs the risk of being deemed a non-viable candidate (this threshold is 15% at all caucuses as far as Im aware) and being awarded no delegates at that location.

(3,660 posts)And you even bolded where he said "she runs the risk" - which proved you were wrong in saying he predicted that.
Not sure why you'd want to double-down on what is proven false. That would seem to indicate you had ulterior motives or were a serial liar.
Are you a liar? Just asking. If not, what's the motive for repeating something that is obviously false more than once? Surely an honest person would admit their mistake - especially when they had selectively quoted from the page proving they were saying something false.
Was it just that you missed the graphic above with his actual prediction numbers on it? Or was it that you misread what you quoted and thought it said something completely different?
Which is it?

(99,714 posts)Oh, I just read that part of your poison missive and ignored the rest.
Please carry on.

(3,660 posts)I'll just continue posting things that disprove your false posts then. Carry on.
Someone else might be curious as to why you'd continuous post falsehoods, but maybe if you added a disclaimer to the bottom of each of your posts saying it was not meant to be taken as true, then you wouldn't get questions...

(99,714 posts)I am almost flattered, almost.

(3,660 posts)I "follow" the latest posts, like you probably do.
How exactly would any of us follow another around the forum?
You guys are pretty silly with the fairytale stuff.

(3,660 posts)Are you ok? I mean, that's a little bit excessive on the conspiracy tales stuff and might indicate other problems.

(3,146 posts)I remember that person telling to that Bernie wouldn't win a single state and to "book it". Maybe he/she meant Bernie would win 16 states...so far.

(146,336 posts)Nor, as a matter of fact, do I care. We're getting results from an actual caucus. Those are the only real data that matter.

As a party we really need to standardize the state processes.

(4,999 posts)Will be interesting to see how Sanders increases his tally in the Wyoming Convention since the only county Clinton "won" is the one that went overwhelmingly for Sanders until the "surrogate votes" of 600+ were delivered to give Clinton the win. Somehow if those 600+ weren't able to show up in person to the caucus - I'm guessing they will probably not show at the Convention either.
In any case - I've learned so much from the Clintonites - and that is that if a .2% win for Clinton can be a WIN for Clinton . . . then surely 12% for Sanders is a WIN too!

(86,005 posts)Wyoming Dem party official says the state could be a tie in delegates. Right now, they say, it is 7 for Sanders and 6 for Clinton. One TBD.
Benchmark Politics @benchmarkpol
With #WYCaucus Washakie County update, Sanders falls to 56% with only one county left. Delegate tie almost assured with this result.

(86,005 posts)...Bernie folks sometimes count indies in these closed-primary states who are shut out.
