Washington state’s District 2 overwhelmingly voted in favor of Bernie Sanders during Saturday’s caucuses. Despite this, some of the state’s pledged delegates have said they will ignore the results and vote for the candidate they’ve already chosen.
Congressman Rick Larsen, who represents the residents in Island, San Juan, King, Snohomish, Skagit, and Whatcom counties is urging voters to get behind Clinton after he votes for her at the convention despite several people reminding him that caucus-goers in his district chose Bernie Sanders. The lowest percentage point Sanders won in District 2 was 67.3 percent in King County. His highest margin of victory was 80.5 percent in Whatcom County.
Larsen’s constituents were clear in their rejection of Clinton, but instead of listening and promising to take their votes into consideration at the very least, Larson posted several condescending comments.
One resident asked him to change his mind.
“Congressman Rick Larsen I hope you change your mind when Bernie wins the pledged delegates.”
His reply brushed her off.
“Thank you. I hope you change your mind when Secretary Clinton has the most delegates according to the rules the Democratic Party has had in place since the early 1980s and evary [sic] candidate has agreed to live by. R.”
As of this writing, the comments remain on this public Facebook page despite reports that they have been deleted.
When a voter warned him that people are paying closer attention to this election and had the power to support other candidates, Larsen responded with an accusation that had nothing to do with the current election.

“I agree that it is good more people are paying attention. Where was everyone on [sic] 2014 when so many [of] us were fighting the Tea Party while people sat on their hands? See you on the trail. R.”

1. He misses the point that she hasn't won yet.

I think he was very dismissive of those voters, and he might regret that.

2. He basically said no to Johnny come lately. nt

3. This kind of BS is why I want Bernie to reconsider and run as an Independent

if he doesn't win the Democratic nomination. If the Democratic superdelegates defy Democratic voters, the party should be blown up.
