They split theirs by district and he won the Omaha area.

No Democrat could win Indiana, North Carolina, or Nevada either, except Obama totally did.

the likely of any state's electoral college delegates going to the Democrat is already taken into account when they figured how many delegates they would get.

Every state Hillary has won Sanders supporters have had some excuse why it shouldn't count. Particularly with the southern states, Ive seen several Sanders supporters on this site go out of their way to discount those victories because "they always go red in November".

Way to go, discounting fellow dems and the importance of their vote. Should those 39k just stayed home since they apparently don't matter in the grand scheme of things to you? Every vote matters and were I to live and vote in that State, your comment would be quite personally offensive to me.

head to head with every single one of the Repubiican presidential candidates? And it's
quite possible that he might lose to Clinton. It doesn't make sense. The Democratic
Establishment is completely for Clinton, of course.

This information was posted an hour ago in another thread.

Posting it twice doesn't give him double the delegates.

26. That word ethos
Sun Mar 6, 2016, 07:14 AM
Mar 2016

1.Sociology. the fundamental character or spirit of a culture; the underlying sentiment that informs the beliefs, customs, or practices of a group or society; dominant assumptions of a people or period:
In the Greek ethos the individual was highly valued.
2. the character or disposition of a community, group, person, etc.
3. the moral element in dramatic literature that determines a character's action rather than his or her thought or emotion.

Sorry, another poster wrote this under yet another the incredibly vile "why can't Sanders win POC vote" post, and I thought it was a brilliant way to flip it back on them....

CNN still shows Clinton's SUPER delegates in their counts which are negotiable, against actual Bernie's delegate count!
