Wow. Even delegate split in the Wyoming caucus.


Jeff Fecke ?@jkfecke 4h4 hours ago
Wow. Bernie appears likely to net *zero* delegates out of Wyoming. That's an utter disaster.

Jesse Lehrich ?@JesseLehrich 2h2 hours ago
Bernie won 18 of 23 delegates in the ID caucus. Splitting WY 7-7 is really quite remarkable.

Jesse Lehrich ?@JesseLehrich 2h2 hours ago
@BernieSanders path keeps getting narrower.
Explains why their plan now is to try to get superdelegates to overturn the will of the people

and introducing the bating order the next *607* delegates to be decided from CLOSED PRIMARY states....#FeelTheMath

1. Feel the math!

[Lucinda]

4. :)

[boston bean]

14. They got addition and substraction all mixed up!

[northernsouthern]

30. Feel the math?

Two things...

Mathwise he got 8-5 split, but due to the way they divide up the caucus they managed to tie on a technicality...not math, just politics. He got the 56% he needed, he would have needed something closer to 58 to even gain 1 extra delegate. That is math for you. Also Hillary won by ballot harvesting by the sounds of it they are going to try it here in Washington...

31. lol

...net result?

ZERO delegates for Sanders.

That's the relevant math, for those following the actual election.

[northernsouthern]

34. Sorry I though you were talking about math.

I must have misconstrued the actual definition of math with the political system you are touting. #FeelTheSystem!




mathematics
/ˌmæ?əˈmætɪks; ˌmæ?ˈmæt-/
noun
1.
(functioning as sing) a group of related sciences, including algebra, geometry, and calculus, concerned with the study of number, quantity, shape, and space and their interrelationships by using a specialized notation

Wait I can do the math for you, it is really simple...

Where
Bd=Bernie Delegates
Hd=Hillary Delegates
CD= Congressional District Delegates
A=At-Large Delegates
P=PLEO Delegates
Vb= Popular vote Percentage Bernie
Vh= Popular vote Percentage Hillary

So:
Bd=Vb(CD)+Vb(A)+Vb(P)
Hd=Vh(CD)+Vh(A)+Vh(P)

See very easy, oh and...

Saturday 28 May 2016: Second Tier State Convention. 6 of 18 delegates to the Democratic National Convention are allocated to presidential contenders in proportion to the support each candidate receives at the State Convention. A mandatory 15 percent threshold is required in order for a presidential contender to be allocated National Convention delegates at the statewide level.

6 delegates are to be pledged to presidential contenders based on the support each candidate receives at the State Convention as a whole.
4 at-large National Convention delegates
2 Pledged PLEOs

But that is just proofing the formula with math.

[nc4bo]

2. See yall at the convention! nt

[Thinkingabout]

3. EVER ONWARD!!!!!

[sheshe2]

5. KnR!

6. I almost feel your pain. nt

8. Great for all of you HRC supporters.

Enjoy the ride then equally once she loses to the
repug candidate, because it won't be Trump, and I
doubt it will be Cruz.

However, you can tell yourself that everybody else
is guilty for that loss. I can hear you now already, because
you will never be able to admit that your candidate was
never the one to inspire the public.

The point is that you don't want to admit that your
candidate inspired all repugs to come out against her.

In that case you should really look into your mirrors.

[bigtree]

9. amazing how supporters of a candidate trailing by almost two million and a half votes

...think they can credibly lecture the leader's supporters in this campaign on electability.

[ismnotwasm]

11. Oh yeah, That popular Vote thing...

Only certain popular votes matter don't you know, as has been amply demonstrated

[sadoldgirl]

13. Right like in 2000. Congrats!

[bigtree]

15. delegate leads don't count either, apparently

...as long as there's a 'path' to the nom for the revolutionary one.

[timmymoff]

12. It seems as if they are already making excuses for her lack of enthusiasm

they've turned into little conservatives selling fear of a Trump or Cruz presidency when in fact their true fear is change. They have been conditioned to accept terrible deals by democrats, because they were democrats. They learned to praise those crappy deals by democrats, and defend them with much might. They learned to ignore negatives of an issue or a candidate , all so they could be a "real dem".
I see Americans of the democratic right, yes it is what you are if you support Hillary's policies, speak of long time democratic principles as being pie in the sky. I see them condone an immediate reduction of the minimum wage fight, then praise her effort for fighting. I see them complain about wars, yet not take one ounce of responsibility for her part that led to those wars. conflicts. regime changes. Coups. I have no desire to align with people of that nature. I am sure you would understand, if capable.

16. "Why don't you take Tuesday to drive off another cliff?"

...Kate McKinnon's Hillary Clinton on Susan Sarandon's Trump comments. #SNL

[BainsBane]

21. Sigh

One of my favorite movies, ruined by Sarandon in this primary.

[DesertRat]

25. lol

[northernsouthern]

32. The irony...

So you liked a movie about women taking control of their lives in a male dominated society, where they choose to never give in again to the pressures of it, and you no longer like the movie because a woman spoke her mind about the political system and did not all in to the gender approved role in society?

[DesertRat]

33. Huh??

I was lol at Kate McKinnon's comment on SNL, I never mentioned a movie.

And the graphic is pretty funny too!

[northernsouthern]

36. Wrong post.

It was directed at the one before you...

One of my favorite movies, ruined by Sarandon in this primary.

but looks like I selected your thread.

[DesertRat]

37. Hmm, ok

For the record, I loved Thelma and Louise, and still do. And I love Bull Durham too.

[B Calm]

18. I learned yesterday from a Clinton supporter it's okay to discriminate against

low paid rural workers because they live in Bodunk. I swear it's like they are getting instructions from Hillary on being a cheap labor conservative. It's a race to the bottom!

[bigtree]

19. I got my instructions this morning

...#cheesecake and a whomp-ass result in Wyoming heading the bill.

...also, math.

[B Calm]

20. Hillary's favorite website

28. favorite Sanders supporter twitter site

#SandersLittleHelpers

[BainsBane]

23. A recent poll showed Clinton supporters to be more enthusiastic

and more committed to "definitely voting for Clinton" than Bernie supporters.

[ismnotwasm]

10. Yup

Thank. God.

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

17. Most bizarre of all bizarre caucuses, where 55%-44% is a tie.

[Surya Gayatri]

22. The math, it Beeerrrrns!

[BainsBane]

24. Hard work

In elections, as in policy, it matters.

[Logical]

26. Reading your posts always reminds me why I do not like Hillary. nt

[senz]

38. Same here; I only ended up in here from following a link.

The cynicism, narrow scope and general glumness is depressing. But nice to see someone else feels the same way.

[Hiraeth]

27. election reform is coming.

[Marr]

35. I guess a technical tie feels pretty amazing after so many crushing defeats. /nt

[uponit7771]

39. Podium bird doesn't do the whole math thingy... soooooooo
