Well it wasn't a blow out Autumn Feb 2016 #2

Nobody expected it would. JaneyVee Feb 2016 #5

Oh a few here expected it. nt Autumn Feb 2016 #8

Not the realistic ones. Agschmid Feb 2016 #12

Not everyone here on DU is realistic, and a couple posters here expected a huge Hillary win . Autumn Feb 2016 #17

On the Bernie side, yes. DanTex Feb 2016 #24

Comments on a blog saying that Bernie could come in first. It was close. Autumn Feb 2016 #42

Funny how the word "will" gets changed into "could", isn't it? DanTex Feb 2016 #44

Depends on the meaning of the word is doesn't it Dan. Autumn Feb 2016 #47

Well, they do have different meanings. That's why you decided to replace one with the other. DanTex Feb 2016 #48

Um, that is counting superdelegates rather disingenuously. JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #10

Delegates can switch at the next level too 4dsc Feb 2016 #36

Only after the first ballot. jeff47 Feb 2016 #37
