Bernie stole the delegates in NE with a low turnout caucus Renew Deal May 2016 #1

No. What happens is that the caucus voters don't show up to vote in the primary because they know JimDandy May 2016 #60

More people voted in the primary so far than the caucus Renew Deal May 2016 #62

Again, I've explained what happens. JimDandy May 2016 #72

Your explanation doesn't make sense. Renew Deal May 2016 #73

What this means for your candidate, is she didn't inform her voters JimDandy May 2016 #75

From the other thread: There is no reason to argue the things we agree on. Renew Deal May 2016 #93

Thoroughly answered already. Move on. Bye. JimDandy May 2016 #94

Yes, the answer is that caucuses are anti-democratic you can not make an honest argument to counter Renew Deal May 2016 #100

No, it is not intellectual dishonesty. You just seem to simply be ignoring his argument. n/t xocet May 2016 #102

How many people voted and on what kind of machines?... dchill May 2016 #2

Looks like they may get 65,000 to 75,000 voters. Edited for error. hrmjustin May 2016 #3

Be precise. Or don't post. dchill May 2016 #10

My mistake but the numbers in now suggest the primary will have more voters than the caucus. hrmjustin May 2016 #12

OK, but it's not binding. It's not a new election. dchill May 2016 #13

It is nonbinding but it will be interesting to see how his campaign explains the loss. hrmjustin May 2016 #16

He WON Nebraska on March 5. dchill May 2016 #18

Indeed he did. It is just an interesting result. hrmjustin May 2016 #35

If Bernie means what he says... CrowCityDem May 2016 #6

Moreover, he should release the number of delegates he won in March beastie boy May 2016 #22

Exactly. He needs to show us that his actions match his talk. nt anotherproletariat May 2016 #70

You mean republicans couldn't vote in a Democratic primary? Kingofalldems May 2016 #7

Neither can independents, which are 35-40% of the electorate and don't trust HRC Feeling the Bern May 2016 #69

How lame. Kingofalldems May 2016 #71

Nice comeback. Refute it. Feeling the Bern May 2016 #76

No it is not binding. hrmjustin May 2016 #28

It's just for strutting? Spitfire of ATJ May 2016 #42

It is required by law to be held. hrmjustin May 2016 #43

Probably because his supporters didn't show up for a nonbinding primary that offers no delegates? Scootaloo May 2016 #29

Actually when all is said and done more people will vote for Sanders tonight than in the caucus. hrmjustin May 2016 #31

However you want to spin it, I guess Scootaloo May 2016 #36

You put forward a theory and I said it is not true based on the numbers. hrmjustin May 2016 #41

It is spin Scootaloo May 2016 #47

You said that he probably lost because his fans did not show up for a nonbinding election. hrmjustin May 2016 #55

And had the end result tonoght been meaningful, there could very likely have been a different result Scootaloo May 2016 #58

Because it is shocking she won. Is it meaningful in terms of delegates, no. hrmjustin May 2016 #63

Your posts higher in the thread seem to indicate you thought otherwise Scootaloo May 2016 #65

Demand? I make no demands. I am just talking. hrmjustin May 2016 #68

Shows more people vote in primaries than caucuses. Chicago1980 May 2016 #14

but Bernie won Nebraska? retrowire May 2016 #23

He won the delegates on March 5th. They had a caucus. hrmjustin May 2016 #24

so... retrowire May 2016 #25

Nebraska like Washington state Democrats decided to hold caucuses. The DNC approved. hrmjustin May 2016 #27

well thanks for filling me in. retrowire May 2016 #30

So you only vote for president? spyker29 May 2016 #64

There's not contested primaries for dems in nebraska TheFarseer May 2016 #66

They had local primaries today and more people turned out to vote in the Dem primary than in the hrmjustin May 2016 #74

The primary is for the rest of the contests — down-ticket races brush May 2016 #88

and since Bernie won the causcus months ago, it doesn't help her math LaydeeBug May 2016 #46

She had not clinched. Bernie has not been mathematically eliminated. morningfog May 2016 #56
