So Sanders actually won Nevada!

Sanders won the entire state other than Clark County. And yesterday, Harry Reid's cheating in Clark County was overturned.

Justice is served!

LOL at Ms. Inevitable. Can Clinton win anywhere other than the Deep South?

Sanders likely flips two delegates after dominating Clark convention
by Jon Ralston Sat, 04/02/2016

Despite losing the state on Feb. 20 in the caucus, Bernie Sanders' campaign swarmed the Clark County caucus and probably flipped two delegates from Hillary Clinton's camp.

Clinton was presumed to have a 20-15 delegate edge after the caucus based on her 5 percentage point win in the caucuses. But because the caucus process allows some delegates to be unbound, 12 of those were up for grabs at the 17 county conventions Saturday. Sanders had 600 more delegates in Clark on Saturday despite losing the state's most populous county by nearly 10 percentage points.

That is expected to switch two delegates to Sanders, giving Clinton an 18-17 lead in Nevada, but that is still pending the results of the state convention next month when those 12 slots could again change. (Sanders also dominated in Washoe and did well elsewhere.) Ah, the caucus process.

2. Wanna bet? That's total damage control. Sanders won the rest of state HANDILY!

Clinton's ENTIRE margin was forged in Clark County where Reid got the casino bosses to cheat for her.

How can she win the state after losing the county that accounted for her entire delegate lead? That's completely impossible.

But you were just fine with that. And most Clinton supporter were all about disenfranchising Arizona voters on election day.

Last I checked Iowa, Massachusetts,Missouri, Illinois, and Ohio aren't part of the Deep south.

4. She effectively tied in all those states other than Ohio.

And that was with all those state Democratic parties cheating for her as much as they possibly could.

And Southern Ohio is basically Kentucky.

You are backing a losing horse. Worst candidate ever.

Bernie Sanders scored a victory at Nevada's county-level Democratic conventions on Saturday, even though he lost to Hillary Clinton in the state's February caucuses.

Conventions held throughout Nevada yielded 2,124 Sanders-supporting delegates who will head to the state convention on May 14. That accounts for 55 percent of the total delegates.

Hillary Clinton earned 1,722 delegates, or 45 percent of the total.
