Yes Bernie won Wisconsin but in reality he actually lost.

Last edited Wed Apr 6, 2016, 10:42 AM - Edit history (1)

So far Bernie has been awarded 46 pledged delegates and 0 super delegates for a total of 46 delegates.

So far Hillary has been awarded 36 pledged delegates and 4 super delegates for a total of 40 delegates.

The following is compliments of http://hillaryclintonsupporters.com/forum/

Hillary is 605 delegates away from the magic number to secure the nomination!

Bernie is 1,284 delegates away from the magic number to secure the nomination.

Now talk about perspective.

It's all about the math and anyone who can't see that needs to get out of politics.

After the mainly rural white Wyoming caucus of 14 delegates we head back into Hillary territory where Hillary will expand her lead.

Giving the benefit of the doubt to Bernie concerning California (which is a dream made of a fairy tale remember the bird incident?), That would still not give Bernie what he needs to win the nomination.

If Bernie decides to go to the convention to contest it, he is committing political suicide. He will have to scurry back to the Senate with his tail between his legs & be a do nothing Senator as he has been for so many years, go back to being a Independent and at this point I would care less who he decided to caucus with after the trouble he has caused in the Democratic party. There's a reason practically no one in the House or the Senate is backing him in this failed attempt to run for President.

Hilary has got this. If you are ever in doubt just remember these numbers from http://hillaryclintonsupporters.com/forum/

Hillary is 605 delegates away from the magic number to secure the nomination!

Bernie is 1,284 delegates away from the magic number to secure the nomination.


These numbers are changed as the delegate count changes.

His anti-free trade policy will kill him in a state that depends upon free exports (Silicon Valley, Hollywood, Agriculture and Lumber -- all make money from exports.)

Don't forget that LA is also the 2nd largest port in the world, and has the largest concentration of small industry in the US. A huge aerospace sector as well. Yeah, they'll love Bernie's protectionism.

Wisconsin Democratic primary turnout was 70% Democrat, 27% independent.

Open primaries and caucuses are a sham. Democrats expect Hillary is the definite guaranteed nominee, so yes, the excitable independents and "Anyone But" Democrats turnout and skew the numbers.

All those Bernie landslides and small red state victories, and Bernie is still farther behind than Hillary was in 2008.

What a joke.

MADem~

BS actually lost because he didn't win by the bigger margin that he needed to.. even after spending over twice as much as Hillary? I read $2.5 Million for him and over $900, 000 for her.

9. Faulty narrative

This narrative is so disingenuous. It is designed to persuade people of the inevitability of Hillary's victory. The Superdelegates yield to the will of the people or they must fear torches and pitchforks. They shouldn't even tally the Superdelegates until the convention, if they should even exist...

Oh wait now I remember, all those rude aggressive Bernie supporters phone calls & e-mails to super delegates trying to get them to switch to Bernie. How did that work out for you all?



She leads in pledged delegates and had more than 2.5 million votes than Bernie. Looks like the will of the people has spoken.

"Superdelegates yield to the will of the people or they must fear torches and pitchforks." Either you are being sarcastic and neglected to mention it, or you are an imbecile, and one who does not belong here.
Hillary Clinton has the popular vote FYI.

And what's with "they must fear torches and pitchforks"? Are you threatening violence if you don't get your way?

then, when you put them with the 12 that Tim Robbins gave her in Guam, she'll break even between the two of them.
