Sen. Bernie Sanders picks up superdelegate vote in Hawaii



HONOLULU (AP) - U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders has picked up a superdelegate vote in Hawaii, but he still faces a steep uphill battle in his quest to overtake Hillary Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination.

The state Democratic Party elected Sanders supporter Tim Vandeveer to serve as party chairman. Vandeveer said Tuesday he plans to vote for Sanders at the Democratic National Convention in July.

Despite the numbers, Vandeveer believes Sanders has a chance to win.

“Between pledged and superdelegates, you never know,” said Vandeveer. “Superdelegates could change their votes.”

Sanders took 70 percent of the vote in Hawaii’s Democratic caucus in March, while Clinton captured 30 percent.

Helen Thomas, RIP, flushed those bums because she couldn't stand their cretinous unprofessionalism.

But you keep playing that game, and play it loud and often--so we can see you coming.

need to hold that belief fast in order to get through the next week.

After that, it'll be a downhill slide to the sixteenth.

a super delegate in Hawaii, there was nothing toxic about it.

You wanted to know why I linked to that source but never questioned why CNN, MSNBC, CBS, The Washington Post, The New York Times, ABC, etc. etc. don't have links to this story.
