So, as I suspected, the numbers Bernie's campaign put out earlier were skewed

They reported only the 40% of precincts where Bernie did well.... which is how they came up with their bogus 29% for Bernie number.

Understandable... as campaigns will put out the numbers most beneficial to them....

So how can you make such claims?

We don't know the actual results yet, hence we don't know if any candidate is skewing their presentation.

Ever consider that?

We literally had to wait till 5 PM EST the next day to get results from Iowa this year. And only 62% at that!

the DNC sponsored by the "Deep State" manipulated the numbers.... Or the Freemasons? Illuminati?

Bernie must be crazy to keep working with a party that plots against him over and over.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

What a horrible decision maker. Disqualifying!!

that's what all bernie bros are saying on Twitter.
Wasn't responding to you by the way. But thanks for chiming in.

*Edit: and there it is. Post #14. By nightfall they'll accuse Biden of manually altering the paper trail used.
