I caught that after I posted. Sanders didn't even win but a TIE on the delegates, lol krissey Feb 2020 #26

Two Sanders "wins" (as he characterizes it) gets him two less delegates than Buttigieg... George II Feb 2020 #9

lol krissey Feb 2020 #5

Bernie's "win" tonight netted him the same number of delegates as Buttigieg. His "win" last week.... George II Feb 2020 #7

Yeah, this. Bernie-math means 2 wins equals 2 fewer delegates Happyhippychick Feb 2020 #10

LOL. DanTex Feb 2020 #19

"Momentum" doesn't result in two delegate losses. George II Feb 2020 #21

Is this a quality unique to Senator Sanders, or is it true in the general case? RockRaven Feb 2020 #22

There is definitely a MSM vendetta against Sanders... Woodycall Feb 2020 #27
