1. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, Hissyspit.

3. He sums it up well

The Sanders campaign is "in the catbird seat".

4. "We had no money, we had no name recognition".

And look where we are tonight.

6. Amazing!

Let's keep it going.

[Ed Suspicious]

5. Nice start. Onward!

[zentrum]

7. He gave a great speech

On Youtube now.

[hibbing]

9. Enough is enough!

I watched it and thought it was great. He says it like it is. He can keep saying it every time he speaks, about the massive redistribution of wealth that has taken place, the way the ruling class dominates everything, a political revolution indeed.

Peace

8. Kudos to Bernie and all his supporters!

10. He's ignoring the 8 super delegates, which is nothing new.

But those people will matter at the convention.

11. Superdelegates can change

...they don't like to fight too hard against the tide that actual voters create. So if Bernie pulls more victories (as he was supposed to lose this -this is clearly a victory), we will see more Hillary superdelegates pull his way.

[pnwmom]

13. He hasn't won yet. With 99.52% counted, she's still ahead, not including the supers.

And, no, a loss isn't a victory, no matter how close.

[Tiggeroshii]

15. It's not a loss, it's a tie. Not sure you've checked the results or not.

[pnwmom]

16. I've been checking in several places and she still has her slight edge.

And this doesn't include her Iowa super delegates. Bernie doesn't have any.

[Feeling the Bern]

12. I'd rather fight for the people and win. Let the superdelegates break the party

If Bernie continues to win. The idea of superdelegates is disgusting to begin with.

[pnwmom]

14. President Obama got more delegates in Nevada even though Hillary won more votes.

If things like that didn't break the party, then this won't.

[Feeling the Bern]

17. I don't like superdelegates period. It's undemocratic. It's like the electoral college

Which is something else I don't like.

[pnwmom]

18. I hate caucuses, and I've been warning people here that no one would be happy

with the process. (We use them in my state so I know what they're like.) It isn't a one-person one-vote system, and it's not inclusive.

Maybe more people will agree with me now.

[Feeling the Bern]

19. Well, in a way I agree, but they do have their place, just not in a national election

local elections yes.
