Hillary’s Oakland Rally VS Bernie’s Sacramento Rally

[merrily]

1. Wait five seconds. Someone will (a) assure you that was not a rally; (b) repeat the falsehood that

she got 3,000,000 more votes than he got; and/or (c) some other nonsense.

[Arkansas Granny]

3. It's not nonsense or falsehoods to say that Bernie gets

them to come to stadiums, but Hillary gets them to go to the voting booth. That's where it matters.

[merrily]

7. Okay. I stand corrected: It took a whole 10 minutes, not merely five seconds.

[Arkansas Granny]

14. Well, damn. I'm slacking.

[merrily]

18. I forgot how early it was.

10. Sanders has won in 19 states including those that most often predict the eventual nominee

Clinton has won states like Alabama where exit polls had her 14% lower than the certified vote count.

4. How many votes does each candidate have at this point?

If the 3 million number is false, what's the correct one?

[merrily]

8. It's three million more only if you eliminate all the caucus states. The next move is

for someone to pull out of his or her ear that if they were all primary states, Hillary would have many more than only 3 million votes.

[oberliner]

9. How many more votes does Bernie have in caucus states?

Is there a way to get those numbers?

[merrily]

11. No. Caucus states just work differently. However, plunking away incessantly at

the million figure with no mention that it excludes all caucus states is, at best, a misleading half truth.

Hillary has done that--and with no push back whatever from interviewers.

[oberliner]

13. Check this out

I did a little quick research into this based on our conversation and found this:

The Clinton campaign often points to the fact that the former secretary of state has received more votes than her challenger, Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont. But there is a bit of a caveat to her tally — it does not include the results of several key states which held caucuses, not primaries.

So, in response to a query from a Sanders supporter, we decided to see whether including caucus votes would make much of a difference.

<From there it goes into a state by state estimate of votes for each candidate in the caucus states>

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2016/04/06/is-hillary-clinton-really-ahead-of-bernie-sanders-by-2-5-million-votes/

The article concludes:

Despite the suspicions of the Sanders supporter, the fact that caucus results are not included in the popular vote tally does not appear to make much of a difference in the final result.

[merrily]

16. I have another article that comes out differently, which should not surprise you.

The Washington post website hold the record for anti-Bernie articles--and that's saying something--ten in under ten hours in one day alone.

I don't think the figure can be calculated in a caucus state. If forty people show up to caucus, the most you can get is 40 votes. I don't know how anyone figures out how many other people those forty represent. But, whatever. My point was how long it would take someone and it took ten minutes, not five seconds. So, I was wrong. I failed to factor in how early it was. Next time, I'll be more careful with my estimates.

2. Clinton - 'less is more'...'winning has nothing to do with popularity'

'up is down', 'black is white' and 'love is never having to say you're sorry'.

[Lodestar]

5. The media suppressed images of the millions who protested against the Iraq war

all over the world, and they are doing the same to Bernie. Fortunately now we
have work-arounds to expose the truth which is why they have to use their own
work-arounds, most pretty blatant, to steal the election from the people once
again.

[peace13]

21. 500,000 in DC for the anti-surge of the Iraq war.

It was awesome! CSpan gave a couple hours of coverage but they were the only one!

[salinsky]

6. Incredible that many people ...

... cannot figure out how to properly register and vote.

Sad, really.

[merrily]

12. You remind me so much of someone.

[hobbit709]

15. Sure does. Another incarnation.

[merrily]

17. Tsk tsk. I never said it was someone who used to post at DU. I meant my cousin IRL

I have no clue who you mean.

Don't look at me like that.

[merrily]

19. I just read another post about how Bernie's stadium was empty with only 200 on line to get in.

I'm so confused!

[islandmkl]

22. that poster is amazing in defense of the crap he/she posted...

had a basic one-response retort, no pictures, total denial of various press reports, etc.

it's amusing for a while, but when they keep posting their 'lyin' eyes reports' is just gets tedious...

it's getting tough to figure out if it's a HRCbot or Trumpster...

[merrily]

23. Resistance is futile.

20. K&R

24. Here's a nice one

25. When people get to vote, they choose Bernie

It really is that easy.
