Bernout In Wyoming

According to Nate Silver, Bernie Sanders needed a massive 57-point spread in today's Wyoming caucuses (equaling a 11-3 delegate split) in order to stay on track for a miracle comeback pledged delegate victory against Hillary Clinton. And considering that it's another caucus situation in a basically all-white state, such a margin wouldn't have surprised me.

Instead, Hillary won the two largest counties in the state (Laramie and Natrona) and kept Bernie's overall win margin so low that they are splitting the delegates 7-7!

she got mocked over and over by the msm and others


This is so sad.....



.....She stopped by Junior's, a cheesecake shop before her rally in Brooklyn, where she shook hands with patrons and chatted with Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, a Democrats who represents parts of Brooklyn and Queens.

Although a waiter served Clinton three pieces of cheesecake -- original, strawberry and pineapple -- Clinton declined to take a bite with the press present.

"I learned early on not to eat in front of all of you," she said when asked by a reporter her how the cake was. "So I am sitting here just pining, pining for a bite."...................

29. awww..bet someone took a slice to-go.

What male candidate would ever have to consider eating in front of the press cameras a no no, for the haters to spin.

Maybe Juniors will send a cheesecake to her White House residence next year.

[MADem]

12. Once again he didn't meet his target and she exceeded hers.

With every contest it gets harder and harder.


And we are coming up on closed primaries--no Paulbots, no Libertarians, no Reformers, no Greens, no Independents...just Democrats, registered Democrats, voting to choose their party's standard bearer.

8. One fact that a LOT of people do not know about WY:

WY has historically been a woman-friendly state.

https://theautry.org/explore/exhibits/suffrage/suffrage_wy.html

The Western suffrage story began when Wyoming transformed a dream into reality in 1869. That year, the twenty-member Territorial Legislature approved a revolutionary measure stating: "That every woman of the age of twenty-one years, residing in this Territory, may at every election to be holden under the law thereof, cast her vote." William Bright, the bill's sponsor, had come to share his wife, Julia's, belief that suffrage was a basic right of American citizenship.

There was no organized suffrage campaign, and not a single parade, debate or public display. But women kept vigil outside Governor John A. Campbell's office until he signed the bill into law. Eliza A. "Grandma" Swain of Laramie claimed the honor of casting Wyoming's first female ballot in 1870. Esther Morris of South Park City and Caroline Neil gained fame as the nation's first female justices of the peace. The next year Wyoming's women sat on juries, another simple but revolutionary inroad for women's rights.
...
Wyoming statehood, in 1890, brought the frightening prospect that opponents of suffrage would rescind the right in the new constitution. Women lobbied hard against such threats. Two-thirds of the voters (all male) approved the proposed constitution with suffrage intact. The suffragists' powers of persuasion held up even when statehood was threatened in the face of congressional opposition. When the U.S. Congress, strongly opposed to women's suffrage, threatened to withhold statehood from Wyoming, Cheyenne officials sent back a a staunchly worded telegram stating that Wyoming would remain out of the Union 100 years rather than join without women's suffrage On July 10, 1890, President Benjamin Harrison signed the bill approving Wyoming as the nation's "Equality State." Wyoming voters went on to make history in 1924, when they elected Nellie Tayloe Ross, the nation's first woman governor.

When Bernie went off on his infamous "unqualified" rant against Hillary this week, I have a feeling that WY women were paying attention. Yes, he "won" the caucuses. But by not winning by the margin he expected to and by not collecting more delegates than he did, he actually lost. His rant may have been a factor.

[MADem]

14. I was SHOCKED that it was even a contest. I figured WY was Cheney country and gunny.

White men and weaponry. In my mind I wrote the state off--I expected Sanders to "exceed his target" here.

I am SHOCKED that HRC even "competed"--I am doubly shocked that she pretty much "tied" -- at least as far as delegates go.

What an interesting analysis--I think you do have a very good point, there, too.

[BlueMTexpat]

16. Cheney is an anomaly for WY in some ways.

He hasn't even lived in WY for ages. In fact, in 2000, there was a lawsuit that challenged his eligibility to run on the same ticket with Bush because it was alleged that Cheney was actually a resident of TX, not of WY, even then and apparently residents of the same state cannot run on the same ticket.

Unfortunately, the lawsuit failed or we might all have been spared the horrible Bush-Cheney years.

Yes, WY is still a state that votes conservatively, but many WY Republicans are not as full-blown bonkers as most elsewhere in the US today. Think of Alan Simpson rather than Cheney. Even though Dems are in the minority, there are some good ones there and many of those good Dems are women.

31. The Constitution doesn't say two people from the same state can't be on the same ticket

This is what the Constitution actually says: The Electors shall meet in their respective States, and vote by Ballot for two persons, of whom one at least shall not be an Inhabitant of the same State with themselves.

The effect of two Texans running on the same ticket: Texas automatically goes to the other candidate because the electors can't vote for both a Texan president and a Texan VP. If Shrub and Cheney would have been from Vermont, no problem: although no one wants to leave electoral votes on the table, you can throw away three of them without hurting yourself too badly. Texas - at 38 ev it's the GOP's biggest state - is a whole 'nother kettle 'a' fish.

Having said that, this is an issue that doesn't usually come up because presidential candidates like to run with a second banana from a state distant from their own.

[BlueMTexpat]

32. Thanks for this comment.

I know that the lawsuit failed. But I never really followed up to understood why.

[Thinkingabout]

18. Cheney went back to Wyoming in order to run on W ticket, could not have two from the same state.

A cake sliding in Texas to run for governor.

[MADem]

21. Oh yeah, but he was born and married there, and had his lodge home there...

Sorta like RMoney "deciding" to go live in his wife's house in Belmont that he used while doing BAIN biz to run for MA governor, even though he took a HOMESTEAD exemption on his Utah mansion for years.

They finally sold that joint and bought a condo for the odd times they need to be in the state.

[Thinkingabout]

22. We should have kept both out of Texas, definition of useless, those two.

[MADem]

23. LOL, you got that right! nt

[jmowreader]

33. He also served in Congress from there

Also, his college diplomas are from the University of Wyoming - he has a BA and an MA.

Like it or not, Cheney really IS from Wyoming.
