I think it's pretty funny ismnotwasm Feb 2016 #4

Majority of them are not Dems. Iliyah Feb 2016 #5

Did not know she won the Dems in NH as well? Tommy2Tone Feb 2016 #19

Every state has its own rules... freebrew Feb 2016 #36

There are rules, and I'm sure that Mr. Sanders is savvy enough to have read and understood the rules hamsterjill Feb 2016 #77

Let'em be angry all they want. It just shows how little they know about the Dem Party. BlueCaliDem Feb 2016 #6

Yes shenmue Feb 2016 #8

This, this a thousand times THIS GusBob Feb 2016 #11

My respect for you is enormous! Stuckinthebush Feb 2016 #14

Aw, thanks, SitB. I feel the same about you. BlueCaliDem Feb 2016 #140

Maybe Sanders should have found a party with rules he liked 72DejaVu Feb 2016 #7

You explained it perfectly DesertRat Feb 2016 #9

Everybody knew the rules going into this primary season, no secrets. George II Feb 2016 #10

Maybe they should try "Liberal Underground"... yallerdawg Feb 2016 #12

Democratic Socialist Underground Stuckinthebush Feb 2016 #16

Because he's not a member of the party. I don't get why that's so hard for them to grasp. Tarheel_Dem Feb 2016 #13

They have contempt for the party Stuckinthebush Feb 2016 #15

Yup. Bernie won NH by packing the polls with Independents. SunSeeker Feb 2016 #17

Yes, in progressive NH Stuckinthebush Feb 2016 #21

Yes, and NH has a higher percentage of Sanders friendly Independents than the rest of the US. SunSeeker Feb 2016 #26

I've been a Democrat all my life and always voted for Democrats. justhanginon Feb 2016 #20

Amen Stuckinthebush Feb 2016 #22

They really don't realize how duplicitous Sanders is being here KitSileya Feb 2016 #23

Damn. I never thought of that. Stuckinthebush Feb 2016 #27

I had to double-check myself KitSileya Feb 2016 #32

I don't think they really care... wysi Feb 2016 #33

I know. However, I like to expect better of them. KitSileya Feb 2016 #39

I would think most of the people posting have never joined their local dem party to know the rules FloridaBlues Feb 2016 #24

Why would they? Stuckinthebush Feb 2016 #25

Hillary is the only democrat in the primaries workinclasszero Feb 2016 #28

Bernie fan logic 72DejaVu Feb 2016 #29

Funny. What is the point of a super delegate then? Stuckinthebush Feb 2016 #30

Well many of them are new. Some never heard the term "super delegate" before today 72DejaVu Feb 2016 #35

Good God ciaobaby Feb 2016 #31

Meanwhile, on the other side of the aisle... wysi Feb 2016 #34

It's a theoretical argument only. Treant Feb 2016 #38

Yes, indeed. Theoretical only Stuckinthebush Feb 2016 #90

Superdelegates WERE elected 72DejaVu Feb 2016 #109

Shaking fist at sky, we don't need any of that! seaotter Feb 2016 #37

I have been reading your posts on this thread - Who are you supporting in this race? CajunBlazer Feb 2016 #100

After reading this thread... Catch2.2 Feb 2016 #40

Yes, because letting independents and republicans choose the Democratic nominee KitSileya Feb 2016 #41

Basically , all it takes to be a member of the Democratic Party is to declare such. seaotter Feb 2016 #44

Sort of correct. Treant Feb 2016 #45

Super delegates will eventually vote with the people. To "claim" them at this point is disingenuous, seaotter Feb 2016 #48

Argument shift. Treant Feb 2016 #54

No, just a bit of reality. seaotter Feb 2016 #63

Citation Required Treant Feb 2016 #68

No "insult" just an observation. seaotter Feb 2016 #69

Welcome to my block list. Treant Feb 2016 #73

I'm hurt. seaotter Feb 2016 #75

They don't like the rules Stuckinthebush Feb 2016 #94

Wrong! leftofcool Feb 2016 #56

+1000 Treant Feb 2016 #67

The "supers" will not decide the race. seaotter Feb 2016 #74

No complaints. seaotter Feb 2016 #71

Which is to support the Democrat Stuckinthebush Feb 2016 #95

You mean "support the Democratic nominee". seaotter Feb 2016 #98

In this case, the Democrat Stuckinthebush Feb 2016 #103

This, is, of course, just your opinion. seaotter Feb 2016 #105

It's math Stuckinthebush Feb 2016 #108

There are too many variables involved to reach such a static result. (that is math, too) seaotter Feb 2016 #110

Not really Stuckinthebush Feb 2016 #116

This is why we have elections, instead of haveing "speculators" decide. seaotter Feb 2016 #118

Yes Stuckinthebush Feb 2016 #119

small does not equal zero. (that is math, as well) seaotter Feb 2016 #120

Conceded Stuckinthebush Feb 2016 #121

The party ought to be open to anyone who wants to join it and participate 72DejaVu Feb 2016 #46

Here, Here! seaotter Feb 2016 #50

Not in every state. KitSileya Feb 2016 #47

All are, and should be welcomed. seaotter Feb 2016 #52

So you wouldn't mind if independents who don't support the Democratic party KitSileya Feb 2016 #57

When "the rules" are kept intact, so be it. seaotter Feb 2016 #64

Welcomed with open arms Stuckinthebush Feb 2016 #97

Rules can be changed. seaotter Feb 2016 #99

Why would we do that, seaotter? Stuckinthebush Feb 2016 #102

Maybe, but it is an option. seaotter Feb 2016 #107

Perhaps, if Bernie does not prevail 72DejaVu Feb 2016 #113

Rules could, theoreticaly, be changed by the rules committee just prior to the convention. seaotter Feb 2016 #115

Can you please cite to a rule that allows BlueMTexpat Feb 2016 #125

Well, that's true 72DejaVu Feb 2016 #134

You fail to understand Treant Feb 2016 #43

Good point! KitSileya Feb 2016 #51

We'll agree to disagree. Treant Feb 2016 #60

Yes, we'll agree to disagree on the word choice, KitSileya Feb 2016 #76

If I were her, Treant Feb 2016 #79

Yes, of course Clinton isn't perfect. KitSileya Feb 2016 #86

Bottom line for me too. BlueMTexpat Feb 2016 #127

Exactly! treestar Feb 2016 #139

"party leaders" will fall in line with the votors, or they will no longer be "party leaders" seaotter Feb 2016 #53

Nope! leftofcool Feb 2016 #59

Yup. seaotter Feb 2016 #65

So where were all the Sanders supporters, progressive warriors to the last... wysi Feb 2016 #70

Your wrong. seaotter Feb 2016 #80

Anecdotal evidence is not admissible wysi Feb 2016 #82

Someone stayed home, maybe it was 3rd wayers. seaotter Feb 2016 #84

Our primaries are to nominate the DEMOCRATIC nominee for the presidency Lucinda Feb 2016 #49

A moot point, as the "supers" will fall in line with the voters. seaotter Feb 2016 #55

No they won't leftofcool Feb 2016 #62

Yup, one of the two running. seaotter Feb 2016 #66

Well yeah, because Hillary have the delegates she needs soon enough. Lucinda Feb 2016 #72

If that's the way it goes, ok. seaotter Feb 2016 #81

The super delegates have been part of the primary process for almost 50 years Lucinda Feb 2016 #83

No one "has" the supers until their votes are cast. seaotter Feb 2016 #85

They are committed. And rarely change unless someone drops out, then they shift. Lucinda Feb 2016 #87

No, they are NOT "committed" Not by any stretch of the imagination. seaotter Feb 2016 #88

This is the list as of right now: Lucinda Feb 2016 #91

This has nothing to do with the FACT that the "supers" are only "committed" to themselves. seaotter Feb 2016 #92

Nonsense. Find an election where they didn't support until their candidate dropped out. Lucinda Feb 2016 #93

Cite the rule that "commits" them. seaotter Feb 2016 #96

Primaries romana Feb 2016 #106

The primaries have no affect on whom the "supers" vote for. seaotter Feb 2016 #111

I didn't say they were romana Feb 2016 #114

No, they are not bound by any "obligation" seaotter Feb 2016 #117

I'm not about to support a guy... wysi Feb 2016 #61

So, you will stay home if Sanders is the nominee? seaotter Feb 2016 #89

Somebody has the vapors Stuckinthebush Feb 2016 #101

I got banned from the BlueMTexpat Feb 2016 #131

They didn't mind so much in 08 when Obama ended up with the nomination Lucinda Feb 2016 #42

Oh, never mind. dchill Feb 2016 #58

These are part of the Democratic primary process Gothmog Feb 2016 #78

By reading a lot of the posts out there, I do not think many of them riversedge Feb 2016 #104

This is a first time for many of them Stuckinthebush Feb 2016 #112

"Sophomoric" is about BlueMTexpat Feb 2016 #132

I actually paused after I typed the s----was doing to riversedge Feb 2016 #135

This is the sort of thing that really really bothers me GusBob Feb 2016 #137

I believe that the majority of Dem voters BlueMTexpat Feb 2016 #122

Oh, there is no doubt that Dems will support Hillary Stuckinthebush Feb 2016 #123

It�s not necessarily a good thing. At least at the state level. fleabiscuit Feb 2016 #124

The existence of Political Parties is a great point for discussion Stuckinthebush Feb 2016 #128

There's a book out now on the 1912 election and the birth of the primary process SleeplessinSoCal Feb 2016 #126

Now that looks good! Stuckinthebush Feb 2016 #129

Non party guy? But..but..he has plenty of non party supporters oasis Feb 2016 #130

Ha! :-) eom fleabiscuit Feb 2016 #133

I don't like the system either. wildeyed Feb 2016 #136
