1. I approve this message

[Sheepshank]

2. I hear he gave it his best shot.

Closing 75% of the polling places clearly wasn't calculated correctly to give him that edge.

21. And, ding, ding ding NOT TRUE according to a just released statement from the Sanders campaign.

Clinton Campaign is a F---lying Circus of Flying Chairs!

[nadinbrzezinski]

3. We actually agree

Bernie Sanders’s campaign is accusing Puerto Rico’s Democratic Party officials of fraud in the territory’s presidential primary.

The campaign’s head of Hispanic voter efforts, Betsy Franceschini, told Caribbean Business in an interview that Sanders officials were initially denied access to prisons to help inmates vote.

“Our Bernie Sanders officials were never certified. We had 40 officials we submitted in time for the prisons. Not one of them was certified, while all of theirs went in. Attorney Manny Suárez had to go in order for us to be let in. This is a great fraud,” Franceschini said.

And in November when the Rs steal it, do not ask for my pity or my support, I will care, but for the country NOT YOUR PARTY

6. You're seriously questioning whether Clinton could win in Puerto Rico?

She is beating Sanders among Latinos everywhere, she is crushing him in PR by a landslide, and she won it overwhelmingly against Obama in 2008.

[nadinbrzezinski]

8. Whether she could win or not is not the question it is the process

election integrity, you either for it all the time, or you don't. I know you guys don't So in November I will not join you when you cry over that, but I will join people who do... all the time. Not just when my guy or gal is not doing well.

14. We do not know why he couldn't get workers in but he chose to close polls rather than finding

Another solution. I am sure we will hear the whys and previous experience with Sanders, he dropped the ball.

16. Going to Univision I found a very interesting tidbit

they hand counted, no machines involved. YAY. Who certifies the observers for both campaigns? Did MSNBC explain this to you. But to those of us born in other countries where these are time honored tactics it looks very familiar, That could be oh Guanajuato 2014, when the PRD did not get enough observers certified by the by the good folks of the state electoral office (in that case it is the state, not a party).

How is your Spanish

22. You're worried about Republicans stealing Puerto Rico in November?

Maybe think about that for a second.

[nadinbrzezinski]

23. Nope, not puerto Rico

but I can see beyond my nose.

[Doctor Jack]

4. Except it was actually clinton under the guise of the Sanders campagin

that asked to have the polling places closed to hurt Sanders by suppressing her own voters and then blaming sanders who actually would benefit from said suppression. The plan is so simple I'm surprised no one saw it coming....

[Number23]

11. That "logic" was so painful and tortured that it actually took me a second to realize you were jokin

especially since you sound EXACTLY like alot of folks around here who are dead stupid, I mean crazy. I mean SERIOUS dammit!

[seabeyond]

15. Perfect. !!! Nt

[LoverOfLiberty]

5. Tick tock, tick tock

(Less than 48 hours until polls close in NJ).

[JimDandy]

7. Story sounds implausible. Sanders wins when there is a huge turnout.

His campaign has objected to the decrease in polling locations this primary season. I sincerely doubt this story has any legs.

[MinnesotaRob]

18. Sorry I misread your post as "story sounds plausible"...

and self-deleted when I re-read your post, but here is what I wrote anyway for people who do think it sounds plausible (or have already decided that it is true):

What is remotely plausible about candidate closing down 75% of polls in an election that they are competing in simply by asking for it? On what planet does this make sense? Whatever planet that is, Republicans win every election all the time simply by saying "please". If you're not just a troll and have even a shred of good intention, seriously ask yourself how this makes any sense at all, and if you figure it out please let me know.

[JimDandy]

19. It's all good. The cognitive dissonance it would take to believe this story about Sanders

is huge, whether you're a Sanders supporter or Clinton supporter.

[Number23]

10. "DESPITE Bernie's shenanigans" and that's exactly the way that it should and hopefully will be

reported.

[ismnotwasm]

12. Yup

Thank goodness!

[Sancho]

13. Yep...dirty tricks didn't work...

[itsrobert]

20. Good news, the people's choice wins again despite Sanders's Southern Suppression Shenanigans

Strategy.
