supporters have ever had."
Sad for the BS team.. that means they're losing badly and I blame BS for their behavior.. he's encouraged it on so many levels.
Clinton: 6316 votes= 52,6%
Sanders: 5678 votes= 47,3%.
This is how BS would run his presidency.. and we can be so grateful... that's Not happening.

Today is the second state-wide Nevada convention.
After an initial vote it turned out that of the total delegates showing up: 1,245 supported Clinton and 1100 Bernie.
For anyone that supports democracy, that thinks the votes of people should count: this is great news.
All in all this turn out may reset the delegate count to the original vote, and thus correct the disgusting situation that intimidation, theft and harassment actually enabled the Sanders campaign to steal delegates.
