It's really a Sanders victory if Clinton wins by less than N percent

[DavidDvorkin]

Where N is a variable which will be adjusted to reflect the final numbers.

1. ..

[bravenak]

2. You the best

[livetohike]

3. Sour grapes already in GDP. It's not over, but a win is a win.

I don't care if it's by .01% 😊.

[stopbush]

4. I predicted HRC by 5 earlier this week

I may have misunderestimated things.

[jmowreader]

20. You were a little over, but that's okay, I think we all were

She took it by four percent, and with the built-in voter fraud mechanism in NV I'm a little surprised - happy, of course, but still a bit surprised - she did that well.

[SunSeeker]

5. I see you've been reading GDP.

[DavidDvorkin]

10. Regularly

I used to like it. It has certainly changed.

[Treant]

6. N = 1.2 * Actual Percent Win

That's an approximation, but generally bears out in practice.

So it looks like Hills has won 2 of 3, and next Saturday will have won 3 of 4.

[72DejaVu]

7. If Hillary wins by 5, Bernie will declare it a win for him

If Bernie wins by .001%, Bernie will claim a landslide and demand Hillary drop out.

[ismnotwasm]

8. Yup.

[vdogg]

9. Lmfao

This is great!

[DemonGoddess]

11. oh boy...

a win is a win, and of course they're going to whine because of it.

[RBInMaine]

12. If Hillary wins here and then big in SC, she'll win big on Super Tuesday and it's DONE.

[George II]

13. True, but remind them that "N" can't be traded in for delegates.

[kjones]

14. If a tree falls in a forest and no one's around to see it, did Bernie still win? nt

[DavidDvorkin]

15. Was it a revolutionary tree?

[kjones]

19. I don't know. Yew can never tell with these poplar-ists...

A lot of times, they pretend to take a stand, but their bark
is worse than their bite.

[DavidDvorkin]

21. Bravo!

[shenmue]

29. You win three Internets

[lamp_shade]

16. Brilliant.

[pandr32]

17. Bernsters are already claiming many of their caucus goers were cut off

That they still had many in line-ups. Obviously that would have been the same for people there for Hillary, too, because of the time cut-off, but they don't mention that.
Oh well...I'm so excited!!!

[DavidDvorkin]

18. Oh, God.

[MSMITH33156]

22. Not to mention that

this actually hurts Hillary. Long lines always impact urban centers. That's why in national elections, Republicans try to make voting as hard as possible, because it disproportionately impacts Democratic, urban areas.

Hillary cleaned his clock in the most populated part of the state, any sort of issue like this would have hurt her far worse than him.

[pandr32]

28. Agreed!

Party time for us today...feels so good!

[Tarc]

23. GD:P is Bitterman central at the moment

"We were close so it's a win for B!"

"Hillary lost the Latino vote so it's a win for B!"

"B would've won if they didn't close the polls!"


These guys are the biggest sore losers since Rove frog-marched Megyn down to the Fox News bowels to see how his saintliness could possibly be wrong.

[DavidDvorkin]

24. Yes, it is

Earlier, I thought it was improving, but I was wrong.

[MSMITH33156]

25. I'm not buying that he won the Latino vote...

https://twitter.com/Nate_Cohn/status/701164559923617794

He would have won the state if he won it by 11 points, which is what the entrance polls suggested.

Also, people were cautioning well before the voting started that entrance polls are horribly inaccurate.

[still_one]

26. so true, and I can see the talking heads spewing that

[Agnosticsherbet]

27. Now that's funny right there.

[DemonGoddess]

30. and we have someone calling it a tie!

naturally

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511287061

puhleeeze, it is NOT a tie. She WON ffs!

[Treant]

32. That's so meta.

Commenting on an OP he can't comment on in a private group that he obviously reads (hi, there!).

No, it's not a tie. She won...by far more than I projected, although many around here were way closer than I was.

[UtahLib]

31. Time to invest in hazmat suits. It's getting deeper and deeper in GD-P. nt
