to explain away their losses,no one should be surprised that his supporters follow those cues from his campaign.

States where he wins, no problem, even when 40% of his votes come from Trump supporters.

Pardon the pun, but that might have been the reddest red flag outside of Arizona this entire election cycle.

Also stupid. They are determined to undo caucus results. Yet another reason to detest caucuses.

I abhor Ted Cruz, but Bernie has reached a level of failure and desperation that Ted Cruz had the dignity to avoid. Bernie would probably trot out Warren as his VP pick if she wanted anything to do with his failing revolution.

You can either work with the democrats and the Clinton supporters who are in the majority to get things passed or you can be disruptive and divisive and lose every single proposal in succession. You have no power if you don't lose with grace.

How? No one knows. But Bernie had bigger rallies, and therefore, even though all the polls have had her leading, and even though she is clearly more popular nationally, something is clearly amiss here.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handicap_%28golf%29

A handicap is a numerical measure of a golfer's lack of ability.

In stroke play, it is used to calculate a net score from the number of strokes actually played during a competition, thus allowing players of different proficiency to play against each other on somewhat equal terms. In match play, the handicap difference between players is used to determine the number of strokes the high handicap player should receive from the low handicapper during the playing of their round. The higher the handicap of a player, the poorer the player is relative to those with lower handicaps. "Official" handicaps are administered by golf clubs with regional and national golf associations providing additional peer reviewing for low and very low handicaps respectively. Exact rules relating to handicaps can vary from country to country.

Handicap systems are not used in professional golf. Amateur golfers who are members of golf clubs are generally eligible for "official" handicaps on payment of the prevailing regional & national association annual fees. Other systems, often free of charge, are available to golfers who are ineligible for "official" handicaps.

...in their (the crazy ones, not the sane ones) world no one would actually vote for Hillary; therefore if she wins somehow, it is fraud.

No one they know is voting for her.
