Congrats to Bernie on battling Hillary to a tie in New Hampshire....as of 10:30 et

[Cali_Democrat]

So far both have pulled 13 delegates out of New Hampshire. Bernie will likely get a few more delegates and that's it.

His victory didn't amount to much when it comes to the hard reality of winning delegates and ultimately the Democratic nomination.

1. You come up with some real stinkers...but this one takes the cake, even for you.

[regnaD kciN]

14. But, of course, HRC's razor-thin delegate margin in Iowa was a huuuuuge victory, right?

[morningfog]

24. It's called trolling!

[beam me up scottie]

2. .

[neverforget]

21. Gotta love some Homer

[beam me up scottie]

23. I'm getting dizzy just watching!

[neverforget]

26. Don't ya love these threads?

Clinton wins by losing by 20%. I thought it was supposed to be under 10%? It's a train wreck

[beam me up scottie]

30. It's an accident alright, the op wasn't paying attention...

[neverforget]

32. Lol!

[Warren DeMontague]

40. This was my favorite thing on DU in the past month:

[beam me up scottie]

42. LMAO!

[neverforget]

51. OMG!

[John Poet]

49. Hillary's loss in New Hampshire is NOT just a "train wreck"--

--- it's the kind of train wreck where, afterwards,
they go around and shoot the survivors!



Which her campaign will probably be doing shortly...

[Logical]

3. LOL, could you sounds any more freaking desperate? I love the fear in this post! nt

[Joe the Revelator]

4. See the margin of victory? That is your headline

You can't win elections without voters.

[HerbChestnut]

5. What the...

Wow.

[itsrobert]

6. Not enough for Bernie

Clinton has the Superdelegates. This could get nasty in the end, you think?

[Joe the Revelator]

8. If you think super delegates will usurp the will of the people, then I've got some...

...oceanfront property in Nevada to sell you. They will do the same thing they did in 08, go with the tide.

[YOHABLO]

35. We may have to demand to usurp DWS!

[Glamrock]

22. Yes, it could

It would end with a GOP win and a Democratic party unable to win elections for at least the next 3 or 4 if not a generation. Let's just hope it doesn't "get nasty", yeah?

[YOHABLO]

33. Well each camp will patch things up for the general. And Hillary will >

make a deal with Sanders for her endorsement, as long as he makes Chelsea his Secretary of State.

[jeff47]

56. Those NH superdelegates would like to be re-elected.

Sanders just won by the largest margin in NH primary history.

You should not consider their votes "locked-in". Self-preservation is quite powerful in politicians.

[Bonobo]

7. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Free comedy!

[closeupready]

18. Yes! Worth much more than we paid for it, too!

[nadinbrzezinski]

9. I will drop this here

Bernie Sanders 85,175 votes (--) 60.5%
Hillary Clinton 54,049 votes (-31,126) 38.4%
Other 1,632 votes (-83,543) 1.2%

58.6% Precincts Reporting
140,856 Votes

[vaberella]

61. Can I say this is a DUzy!? I always wanted to say that.

Not sure if used properly.

[Logical]

10. Why not release your super secret "Little Birdy" BS now? LOL! nt

[cali]

11. Lol. Man am I enjoying your bitter posts. Yummy

Scrumptious, delicious.

Now I'm hungry

[Bonobo]

19. Salty and sweet is a great combination, isn't it?

Victory and tears...

Like sea salt dark chocolate caramels.

[cali]

28. And then there's this

[Bonobo]

37. Yummy! nt

[rbrnmw]

41. stop making me want chocolate it's my weakness

[SMC22307]

12. ...

[Paulie]

13. Huff post counts super delegates

26 of 32 delegates accounted for in New Hampshire.
HuffPost counts unpledged delegates who have publicly stated their intent to vote for a candidate.

[Warren Stupidity]

15. hmmm. What is that in the punch bowl?

[peacebird]

16. Super delegates, LOL! The desperation is getting pitiful. A near tie in Iowa, she loses by 20% in NH

She loses almost every single demographic to Bernie, except the over 65 and those earning $200,000 a year.

I think that this keeps up and her vaunted super delegates will switch ships!

[Bjorn Against]

17. LOL, you write some great satire

I miss Third Way Manny but I am glad to see you have picked up his act.

[Autumn]

31. Sir. I know Third Way Manny. Third Way Manny is a friend of mine.

Cali_Democrat is no Third Way Manny.

God that was one heck of a debate, Bentsen really got Quayle with that remark that. My Daughter was born that morning

[Live and Learn]

36. LOL And so true! nt

[rbrnmw]

44. and the idiots on that side have only gotten dumber

these clown make me miss Quayle and Dubya

[Autumn]

45. They have gotten crazy. I wonder how long before that party implodes.

I don't see how the crazy can go on. Bush the elder was a raving Liberal compared to these nuts

[rbrnmw]

46. you got that right

that's straight up needing medication crazy over there

[jeff47]

57. It goes on as long as we let it.

Until we do a much better job of showing that we're a good alternative, they can keep going just fine.

[enigmatic]

47. Watched that live

Amazing moment, and it done by a Gentleman, too. Quayle looked like he wanted to cry.

[Autumn]

48. I watched it in the hospital. That line was a hit.

Poor Quayle

[Karma13612]

20. Read the fine print:

This report includes the super delegates.

So her number is already larger even tho she is behind by 21 points as of 10:30 pm

Wish they would not report like this, very misleading since super delegates don't factor until the convention.

[itsrobert]

25. All delegates don't factor in until the convention

Isn't that true?

[HooptieWagon]

38. The elected delegates are pledged to their candidate.

That is why they are properly called pledged delegates.
Superdelegates are properly called unpledged delegates. Though they may announce their support of a candidate, they are not held to that commitment. They may change their loyalty at any time...as most of Hillary's superdelegates did in '08.

[Bjornsdotter]

27. Yeah, it's a real squeaker

...it only took 2 minutes for the primary to be called for Bernie.

[NowSam]

29. My thumb is turned downward in reply to your post

As it shows the slanted table. Now let's see if a great leader like Bernie can level it out for generations to come.

[frylock]

34. Payback is a mofo.

Enjoy yourself while you still can.

[catnhatnh]

39. She came, we saw, She.....

wasn't viable here

[Warren DeMontague]

43. U MAD, THO?

[John Poet]

50. A "Tie"? NO--- Hillary suffered

a crushing defeat.
a train wreck.
a repudiation.
a complete humiliation.


Now, if after that kind of crushing humiliation, she gets near the same amount of delegates out of New Hampshire, then there is something seriously wrong with the Democratic party's nomination system.

[7wo7rees]

52. Well alrighty then. Feel better bout it all? Sure.

[Iliyah]

53. Can we do the same

[HERVEPA]

54. See appropriate response below

[pa28]

55. Yes, it's fine in Hillary land.

[TwilightGardener]

58. LOL.

[Motown_Johnny]

59. Hillary has suffered the greatest loss in Democratic Presidential Primary History.

No contested Democratic primary has ever had a margin above ~16%.

She made history tonight as having lost worse than anyone else, ever.

Hard to call that a tie.

[cherokeeprogressive]

60. Whatever helps you sleep.

[ljm2002]

62. We already know she started out with an advantage...

...in superdelegates, which is what this "same number of delegates" represents.

The thing about superdelegates is, they are not committed to vote one way or the other. They are free to change their votes, unlike the pledged delegates who are won during the voting / caucusing process.

But you knew that.

Way to try and tamp down our enthusiasm.

Ha ha, won't work. GO BERNIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
