I have no idea wtf the Sanders campaign is doing metroins May 2016 #2

I guess he is having a hard time facing reality after all the big rallies and excitement and money. DCBob May 2016 #5

Not hard to figure out. He wants to ride the gravy train for as long as possible. woolldog May 2016 #13

Utter nonsense. Please show us you're better than that. merrily May 2016 #27

That's a lotta twenty-seven dollars right there. Maru Kitteh May 2016 #30

Proving that he's both an egomaniac and a very sore loser. grossproffit May 2016 #14

Once again hellofromreddit May 2016 #6

The supers change that. DCBob May 2016 #7

No, they cannot change that. They vote after the moment the convention becomes contested. hellofromreddit May 2016 #9

They will vote on the first ballot just like the pledged delegates. DCBob May 2016 #10

And that would prevent a brokered convention. But it's still contested--SDs can't change that. hellofromreddit May 2016 #11

Its not since we all know the result except Bernie and his confused supporters. DCBob May 2016 #12

The eventual result doesn't change it. Your cutesy insult doesn't either. hellofromreddit May 2016 #15

It won't be contested. DCBob May 2016 #18

Syntax, that's not the ideal of a contested convention ... Clinton wins on first ballot and thats it uponit7771 May 2016 #48

Rachel covered this issue as well.. DCBob May 2016 #8

That's not a good definitin really. Adrahil May 2016 #36

Right -- a two-candidate race doesn't equal a contested convention obamanut2012 May 2016 #55

Except for a link to another post you posted by what authority are you making these rules? Thinkingabout May 2016 #79

You're arguing against things I never said. hellofromreddit May 2016 #82

Well, you don't have to worry yourself, Hillary is 165 delegates away from the required Thinkingabout May 2016 #84

Claiming that helping college students is giving them something free is a right wing talking point. rhett o rick May 2016 #39

Clinton has always had a plan to allow Student Loans to be refinance at much lower rates than politicaljunkie41910 May 2016 #86

Sanders is lying about a contested convention to keep the small dollar donations flowing Gothmog May 2016 #19

Sanders has NEVER lied. Everyone KNOWS that. BootinUp May 2016 #20

Now I see why Effie has a post in this forum saying he needs to go sit his ass down somewhere Number23 May 2016 #21

Hillary withdrew prior to the convention, which is why it wasn't contested. basselope May 2016 #22

Which is precisekly what Bernie will do. DCBob May 2016 #23

Not likely. basselope May 2016 #25

What crystal ball does you that? TM99 May 2016 #29

Fail. Contested and brokered are no the same thing. jfern May 2016 #24

In 2008, Hillary continued running after a win was mathematical impossble--and her campaign was in merrily May 2016 #26

Bullshit leftynyc May 2016 #44

I'm just curious who he's going to get to help him contest ... nolawarlock May 2016 #32

seeing that Al's state went hands down for Bernie, perhaps the feelings are not so misplaced azurnoir May 2016 #42

Are those same feelings directed at Raúl Grijalva? nolawarlock May 2016 #72

Gezz, what a bunch of Bitter People Tarc May 2016 #59

Yet they applaud Raúl Grijalva... nolawarlock May 2016 #73

Hillary will win on the first vote... Mike Nelson May 2016 #34

Two candidates mean the convention can't be "contested" in the normal sense of the word Recursion May 2016 #35

Bernie is attempting to make the case it will be "contested" prior to the first vote. DCBob May 2016 #63

More establishment pearl-clutching. * yawn * Betty Karlson May 2016 #41

LOL.. common sense and reality are now "pearl clutching" to the Berners. DCBob May 2016 #45

The echo-chambered bubble around Clinton is not reality. Betty Karlson May 2016 #67

The "reality" will soon become apparent to everyone. DCBob May 2016 #68

Good luck with the last of the 20th century campaigns. Betty Karlson May 2016 #71

Two candidates. The first (and only) ballot IS the "contest" isn't it? NurseJackie May 2016 #46

That makes sense.. but it's not technically contested in that we all know the outcome. DCBob May 2016 #50

I think they like playing with definitions and splitting hairs. NurseJackie May 2016 #52

Yep.. morning to you too! DCBob May 2016 #54

Morning Bob the person conceding will be Hillary Skink May 2016 #78

I've bee point out for weeks that the Sanders camp has used the term wrongly Tarc May 2016 #57

According to wikipedia... tom-servo May 2016 #58

That is not at all correct Tarc May 2016 #60

I'll go with wikipedia's definition instead of yours, thanks. tom-servo May 2016 #62

You still don't know what you're talking about Tarc May 2016 #64

The only way it can be contested is if the result is in doubt. DCBob May 2016 #61

I don't think there are "special" types of pledged delegates, only pledged and not-pledged. tom-servo May 2016 #65

That's exactly what the supers are.. they are a "special" type of a pledged delegate. DCBob May 2016 #66

"Pledged to oneself" is the same as not-pledged... tom-servo May 2016 #69

They are the same as pledged delegates as it pertains to this issue. DCBob May 2016 #70

So this is where the elites get to pick. This is why Americans don't bother to vote...they silvershadow May 2016 #77

Your link is to a brokered convention. DCBob May 2016 #80

It explains the difference between a brokered and a contested convention... tom-servo May 2016 #81

Actually it doesn't... it just mentions a contested convention but doesn't define it. DCBob May 2016 #83
