people to vote. The Democratic Party also imposes the superdelegates, which are also undemocratic. But, yeah, that's the primary system we have.

If we look at all the states that voted so far, of course, Hillary is ahead by a large margin. The only idiotic thing here is that Bernie fans are trying to claim that because he won a string of mostly white, mostly caucus states, that he's the candidate that the "people" want.

Do you have a sad? GeorgiaPeanuts Apr 2016 #1

Bernie needed to win WI by about 50 points. He didn't. There are two open primaries left: IN and MT. Buzz Clik Apr 2016 #8

Only in your head did he need a 50 point win... GeorgiaPeanuts Apr 2016 #10

In my head, on a spreadsheet, and consistent with every analysis out there. Buzz Clik Apr 2016 #14

Nope. He gave away about 20 delegates he desperately needed. Buzz Clik Apr 2016 #17

Why are y'all arguing like this? kristopher Apr 2016 #35

Dear God. There are two candidates. What could possibly stop one of them from getting a majority? Buzz Clik Apr 2016 #38

Proportional allocation of delegates will stop them. kristopher Apr 2016 #45

That would be the perfecting ending to his career. Buzz Clik Apr 2016 #11

Do you find it odd that the call used to be "Let the people vote" and "Let all the states vote" CalvinballPro Apr 2016 #16

We got a bit of a slower start thanks to your candidate being in bed with the MSM HughLefty1 Apr 2016 #18

Quite odd. A bunch of mainly white states (mostly caucuses), and all of a sudden DanTex Apr 2016 #23

It's you that keeps insisting some States don't matter. Blaming the caucus system is to blame Bluenorthwest Apr 2016 #52
