After Clinton declared Victory the race tightened from 0.8% to 0.5%

[berni_mccoy]

If she's this dumb to do this and lose then she doesn't deserve the nomination.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. It's happened before:

[RoccoR5955]

34. I was just thinking that! n/t

[Ned_Devine]

2. She declared?

[berni_mccoy]

3. Yes.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

6. Yep, she sure as fuck did. nt

[Roland99]

11. Trying to skew remaining votes?

Arrogance

[SusanCalvin]

13. What? OK, her campaign is officially incompetent. nt

[snagglepuss]

38. Not incompetence but deliberate to diminish the impact of Bernie's success.

They confusion to replace elation.

[SusanCalvin]

42. But it's not going to work.

It will just reflect badly on them.

[JonLeibowitz]

4. she declared victory? Please tell me there is a video of her saying the words.

[berni_mccoy]

10. Her campaign announced it in MSNBC.

[JonLeibowitz]

17. Thank the gods. This should make for good replay material.

Still too close to call.

[SusanCalvin]

43. Link to video, please?

I will not believe it until I actually see it, with a time stamp, because it is so incredibly stupid.

[kennetha]

5. polk county is the key

[saltpoint]

7. Maybe Mrs. Clinton needs to wait like everybody

else for the final totals.

Just a suggestion.

[laruemtt]

8. Her judgment

sucks.

[Cleita]

15. Her judgement has always been a problem with me. eom

[DURHAM D]

9. Not relevant.

I don't know why the media keeps reporting the popular vote and not the delegate vote.

[SusanCalvin]

21. Any idea where I might find a meaningful report? nt

[cyberswede]

25. The delegate count *is* what they're reporting

They're single digits apart

It's 49.9-49.5 right now.

https://www.idpcaucuses.com/#/state

[appal_jack]

29. That would be single DECIMALS apart. k&r, nt

[DURHAM D]

30. I was told earlier that is just the popular vote. nt

[cyberswede]

36. HRC 620 delegates, SBS 614 delegates just now

http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election

[thesquanderer]

45. Delegate count is being updated here:

google:

Iowa Caucus

and it will display a live update. Currently, Sanders is up 21 delegates to 19 for Clinton, despite Clinton being (barely) ahead in the total vote count.

[AgadorSparticus]

12. WOW!!!! Considering this was speed to be a lock in for HRC, i think Bernie just won.

[bettyellen]

14. Why aren't I seeing it on the news if she declared?

[Bonobo]

16. We are. Check LBN. nt

[Cleita]

20. They just said on MSNBC about ten minutes ago. eom

[bettyellen]

24. Wow, funny they haven't mentioned it again? Just shoot me with the Rubio crap

UGH. Most of their coverage the last 30 minutes have been about the Republicans. I guess because we still have 12% to go.

[Cleita]

27. Rubio is just invoking almighty God.

What an ass.

[bettyellen]

33. I can't fucking take it.

[Cleita]

37. Gotta agree. Ugh! eom

[bettyellen]

40. I am shocked Carson made it to 9% too. He is such a moron, wow. And now Trump.

[Cleita]

46. Carson, Cruz and Rubio are picking up the evangelical votes.

I remember back when th bible thumpers didn't vote because they only believed in the Kingsdom of God.

What happened?

[bettyellen]

47. What pisses me off is all these college kids thinking about packing it in because it's Bernie or

nothing. Sucks, and also sucks how they never vote in midterms. Don;t get me started.

[SusanCalvin]

61. Did they say that tonight?

If they're really saying that, they need to get a grip and grow up.

[SusanCalvin]

57. I can't find the actual thing either,

But I just heard Maddow saying she said it.

[bettyellen]

58. Yeah, her aides say it is in the bag. And NBC said Bernie will be declaring victory also!

No sure WTF is going on. Looks like they are waiting till after Cruz's victory speech, then they both will.
I wish them both luck!

[SusanCalvin]

60. Me too, certainly against Rs.

I wish ppl would stop reccing this thread w/o documentation.

Cruz and his followers are disgusting and scary, BTW.

[cui bono]

18. Wait, wut???

She declared victory???!!!

Now I want Bernie to win more than ever. God how I despise her. No class, no ethics... blech.

.

[jillan]

23. I question her sanity.

[Tarc]

19. Win or lose, they walk out of this with the same # delegates, y'know

There's a lot of posturing going on tonight over what is a symbolic victory.

[jillan]

22. Bernie delaying his trip to NH because of this stunt per msnbc.

[Renew Deal]

26. If she loses, I'll happily put on a Bernie avatar

Not because she lost. But because of such a ridiculous declaration.

[HereSince1628]

28. Wow. That's some chutzpah

[Matariki]

31. 49.9 to 49.5 @ 88% reporting

[berni_mccoy]

32. Tightened to 0.3% now

[bettyellen]

55. and back up to .09 with spilt delegates. Jeeze.

[RiverLover]

35. 6 delegate difference!

Finally.

That 7 point spread forever was driving me crazy.

620 to 614

[HassleCat]

39. Counties still to report must be hers

She would only do this if she was sure the counties yet to report were solidly in her camp. If not, and she lost, it would be the most incredible gaffe imaginable.

[Motown_Johnny]

41. down to 0.3% now, Bernie steadily improving

He was down by 1.5% with 80% in and is now down only 0.3% with 89% in.


https://www.idpcaucuses.com/#/state

[QC]

44. Now .2%. n/t

[SusanCalvin]

48. Title of OP has been changed, and there's still no link.

Please, may I have video of her declaring victory, with a time stamp??

[berni_mccoy]

50. I fixed a typo right after posting FFS. And turn on the news!

[SusanCalvin]

51. It's your post. Where's the link?

I'd expect this to be all over, but when I turn up the sound I don't hear it. But I would imagine Camp Clinton would have backed off from it rapidly if they actually did it.

(ETA)

[berni_mccoy]

56. Turn on the damn TeeVee or log off

I don't need to provide a fucking link to you

[SusanCalvin]

59. No, you don't have to.

Nor do you have to be civil. It's a free country (sorta) and everyone is entitled to their opinion and actions. Bet you can easily guess my opinion.

[SusanCalvin]

63. Oh, but,

Don't tell me to log off. That's something you, or anyone else, definitely has no right to.

[840high]

49. Hillary never

lies.

[dana_b]

52. Bernie's rally:

video from twitter:
https://twitter.com/maryaliceparks/status/694368176050536448

They're getting ready for Bernie!!

[Odin2005]

53. DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN!!!

[stevil]

54. 0.9% now

.

[SusanCalvin]

62. OK, I'm just now seeing, on MSNBC,

A Hillary speech that first had a tag of "victory" and now has a tag of "speech to supporters."

In any case, I'm really sick of hearing her mouth Bernie. Shout-out to O'Malley was nice.

[SusanCalvin]

64. So based on MSNBC at 5:10AM,

someone in the Hillary campaign came up with this at the earlier time, and Hillary herself in the wee hours.

MSNBC is right now making fun of it and sounding quite repectful of Bernie.

Apologies for specifically asking for a link, which I now realize was difficult if not impossible at the time. But I really would have appreciated more specificity on where, when, and from whom it was heard, as I found it almost unbelievable given, in my opinion, the incredible stupidity of it.
