In reply to the discussion: BREAKING NEWS: Hawaii Democrats pick Bernie Sanders [View all]rhett o rick
(55,981 posts)62. Let me put a little perspective on this. I ran a caucus in Wa the State.
Our results was almost exactly the same as the state's results of 77% Sanders and 23% Clinton. When we asked asked for volunteers to be the delegates to the next level, the Sanders side had twice as many people volunteer as we had delegate positions for. So half of them will go as alternates. These people were enthusiastic. The Clinton side had a hard time getting anyone to volunteer to be a delegate for them. I believe that Sanders will be well represented at the WA State convention.

I was poking fun at a Hillary supporter who was posting that he's only winning "white" states

2008 favorite son: BHO 75.8% - 23.6% HRC. Looks like Hawai'i has decided who the successor should be

I'm sure the spin will be that Hillary still has commanding lead in delegates, blah blah
