so I agree with that. But Sanders' campaign and Sanders' supporters here repeatedly complained that Pete got more delegates despite Sanders getting more popular vote. Now, that didn't happen in Nevada but Pete might not get statewide delegates despite having over 15% of the popular vote and the same people who howled and howled are crickets.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
