Senator Sanders only gained 3 delegates in Wisconsin [View all] KMOD Apr 2016 OP

Sanders has put the supers in play, so, yeah, we include the supers. Buzz Clik Apr 2016 #1

Sander has no chance at changing any supers. Gomez163 Apr 2016 #7

Of course he does. ThePhilosopher04 Apr 2016 #10

Loyal Democrats/ Superdelegates... FarPoint Apr 2016 #27

Particularly unelectable non-Democrats. Buzz Clik Apr 2016 #19

No, they were decided by the DNC back in August 2015 Land of Enchantment Apr 2016 #26

Go ahead. Count chickens that haven't hatched yet. cherokeeprogressive Apr 2016 #23

Ok. Buzz Clik Apr 2016 #25

Look at your latest loss in any way you like. :) Marr Apr 2016 #2

You shouldn't include them since they haven't voted yet. smiley Apr 2016 #3

According to the New York Times, he gained 48. drm604 Apr 2016 #4

I think the correct net number is +6 Bernie when you add in her supers, +10 in regular, but Lucinda Apr 2016 #5

Wait so SD voted already? Gwhittey Apr 2016 #20

Yes, he narrowed her delegate lead by 10, KMOD Apr 2016 #8

Chuck Todd fails at how delegates are computed. LiberalFighter Apr 2016 #28

Why haven't Washington's delegates been added yet? kracer20 Apr 2016 #6

You are probably using a source that doesn't know what they are doing. LiberalFighter Apr 2016 #29

Thanks for the tip kracer20 Apr 2016 #36

For some reason the media don't do a very good job regarding primary results. LiberalFighter Apr 2016 #37

No super delegates were picked up yesterday. thesquanderer Apr 2016 #9

Are those newly announced Supers, or were they being included in her delegate totals before? Tom Rinaldo Apr 2016 #11

Not sure. KMOD Apr 2016 #12

I saw him say that last night also and I wondered about that then too Tom Rinaldo Apr 2016 #15

I checked the NBC delegate tracker, but I couldn't find any KMOD Apr 2016 #17

Thank you for trying n/t Tom Rinaldo Apr 2016 #24

Never miss an opportunity to double dip! NWCorona Apr 2016 #14

So how many times are you going to count the super delegates? DebDoo Apr 2016 #13

Seems like super delegates are a way to fix a race mgcgulfcoast Apr 2016 #16

Automatic delegate comprise less than 15% of all the delegates. LiberalFighter Apr 2016 #33

It still would not be enough Demsrule86 Apr 2016 #38

I know, right? It's so dishonest to include them among delegates won on election night. reformist2 Apr 2016 #21

48 to 38 in favor of Sanders Matariki Apr 2016 #18

Hillary-42 BS-48 - 6 unpledged outstanding Alfresco Apr 2016 #22

Your link shows 38-48. It will not be even. morningfog Apr 2016 #31

That is not true. Why lie? He netted 10 over Hillary. morningfog Apr 2016 #30

Why are you calling me a liar? KMOD Apr 2016 #34

Yes. It's a lie. Super delegates are not attributed to states. morningfog Apr 2016 #35
