My answer to Three Things Died In NV Today For Bernie (from Hillary Group)

[INdemo]

(of which most of us Bernie Sanders supporters are barred)

No Bernie Sanders did not lose his mometum today
No he has not lost the primary
No Hillary Clinton has not won the primary/
Iowa....virtual Tie
NH Sanders won by 22%
Nev......Sanders lost by 4%

On to SC and super Tuesday

[H2O Man]

1. Recommended.

As a Sanders supporter, I'm very pleased with today's results.

[Wellstone ruled]

8. Same here,

what I saw today was the enthusiasm and the sheer numbers that showed up on a 70 + degree day,doing their duty. Remember,Nevada has been a right leaning state and it appears the tide has turned towards the left.

[senz]

41. Same here. She was "Madam Inevitable" not too long ago.

Now she's lucky to barely squeak by against one of the most principled candidates we've ever known, a candidate without her immense wealth, name recognition, and establishment endorsements.

She's learning that integrity is hard to beat and impossible to fake.

[cui bono]

49. Yeah, now the headline at HuffPo is "Hillary Hangs On"

Not very good headline for someone who expected a coronation.

.

[senz]

50. It's true and I love it! :D

I also love that she's going dirty, because that's what dragged her down last time.

[cui bono]

54. True. Even if it does make me fume.

But at the same time she wouldn't be doing it if she weren't threatened so...

FEEL THE BERN!!!




.

[intrepidity]

2. I say Bernie should get a money-bomb today!

Wouldn't that be something?

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

16. I just sent him 50. I am really pissed at the irregularities reported.

[Agschmid]

3. Let's stop responding to things posted in groups we are blocked from.

It's probably better for all of us.

[artislife]

10. Why?

I am not blocked.

But that is because I don't post there. I barely read there as I see only 4 posters due largely to my ignore list. This is kind of like the site that will watch Fox News so we don't have to. I like it when someone will jump in and sift through and bring a nugget out.

They aren't linking and making fun, just taking some talking points and allowing further discussion.

[Chicago1980]

39. They're so damn sensetive.

[Le Taz Hot]

4. SC, meh.

But he's looking good in at least 4 Super Tuesday states. We HAVE to keep him alive to California

[kristopher]

5. Firewall!!! Firewall!!.. Firewall!.... SQUIRRELSQUIRRELSQUIRRELSQUIRRELSQUIRREL

Bernie Sanders’s Path To The Nomination
Here are the states he needs to win.

By NATE SILVER
http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/bernie-sanderss-path-to-the-nomination/

[bravenak]

6. He lost NV

Here comes SC
He will do much worse there
His momentum is really going
Attention will be on the fact that he could not beat her
And the fact that her easier states and his hardest states are coming up
It only gets harder for him from here

[basselope]

7. She has to win SC by more than 22 for it to matter.

Super tuesday is looking to be another tie with all states tightening.

The end is near for the Clinton Empire.

[bravenak]

9. What interesting standards for winning

Im sure she wins even if its by one point. She already has the superdelegate edge. He needs triumphant wins. She needs to tread water.

[Shandris]

11. What an INSPIRING message.

"Vote for us! In the last year before the election, we managed to tread water!"

Nothing like admitting you think things are fine as they are. Well, okay, if that's your view.

[mdbl]

15. Seriously

How can anyone think that things are ok they way they are?

[jham123]

58. Our party is split

"Our" people are fighting tooth and nail against each other and many on both sides have been hit so hard by the other, no one will be able to heal by the time the GE rolls around.

And Trump is gathering the Pubs and Indies as we fight among ourselves

You are so correct, how does anyone think things are "OK"?? This is terrible.

[Rocky the Leprechaun]

20. My dear bravenak. I want to tell you that I adore you, and respect you, but....

Superdelegates means SHIT right now... They aren't even valid votes until June when they vote with the pledged delegates.

[SusanCalvin]

43. I hope the superdelegate edge is irrelevant,

seeing as how nobody voted for them. If Bernie does win the delegates awarded by vote/caucus and they don't flip, I give up on the system.

[bravenak]

44. At this rate it will be irrelevant

His numbers were terrible with black voters. We goin down south now. It will be brutal. Until colorado, vermont, maine... She will run the table else where and have the delegates way before the convention

[SusanCalvin]

45. OK. Me, I'll just wait and see what happens. nt

[bravenak]

46. Good idea

[brush]

52. Sanders' supporters need to layoff the Delores Huerta is a "liar" meme though

No need to alienate Latino voters too like the "Stockholm Syndrome poster did with AAs, who, btw, voted for Clinton something like 5 to 1 in Nevada.

[SusanCalvin]

57. OK. I'm not sure why this is a reply to my post, unless perhaps you want my opinion.

Whether or not it's wanted, here it is:
http://www.snopes.com/sanders-english-only-huerta/ (FALSE)
I'm pleased, in a sad kind of way, to report that this is the top Google news result.

I can understand that maybe Huerta misheard in the heat of the moment (for instance, since "neutral" starts with an "n" sound, I can see how she might have assumed it continued to the word "no&quot , and would like to give her the benefit of the doubt, for sure.

However, I have not yet been able to Google anything about an apology, walkback, or even statement from her. If I have missed it, I would appreciate being directed to it.

I haven't read all my open tabs yet, so I don't know what is being said here. I don't like piling on, of course, but from what I see so far it looks like the facts are not with her.

[RoccoR5955]

60. Superdelegates

Have been historically known to change their minds. Remember that Superdelegates are not committed to any candidate. They are free to vote for whomever they choose.

[noretreatnosurrender]

17. No One Ever Said It Would Be Easy

No one ever said it would be easy but we are making progress. Do we have a lot of work to do? Absolutely.

In the first state this year with sizable numbers of minority voters, Sanders won Hispanics, 53-45 percent – in a group Clinton won with 64 percent support in 2008. That said, Clinton, in return, trounced Sanders among blacks, 76-23 percent. Blacks make up a much larger share of voters in the next state ahead for the Democrats, South Carolina.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

29. SC will not be 2008

so it will be closer than you think. Hillary isn't Obama.

[bravenak]

30. Might be closer but he still loses

He does not have a bumper of superdelegates

[Chicago1980]

40. Bernie isn't Obama either.

Remember that.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

51. I didn't say he was

I don't see Black people coming out like they did with Obama

[Lordquinton]

32. Keep the dream alive

SC is a very conservative state, so of course Hillary will do well there.

[giftedgirl77]

33. Hahahahaha HA.

[californiabernin]

35. Actually after Tuesday map looks even better for Sanders

In case you hadnt noticed

[bravenak]

36. Yeah, I hadn't cause it dont look good for him

At all.
I must needs to get that good stuff you all got

[INdemo]

55. So for you where does NH enter into this equation...

"Attn to the fact that he could not beat her"

He won by over 22% in NH
He lost by..........4% in NV

WTF are you talking about?

[bravenak]

56. Very few black voters up there correct?

Her margins in the south will look like his in NH. But.. Theres more states and more delegates down there for her to pick up.

[farleftlib]

12. A few months ago, I wouldn't have dreamed today's result possible.

There is still a long way to go and Bernie is trending upwards, as I believe he will continue to do.

WTG, INdemo.

[DownriverDem]

28. Primary Predictions

Please go to fivethirtyeight.com Then click on Primary Forecasts. The dropdown box allows you to pick whatever race you are interested in. Nate Silver is has an excellent reputation for predicting elections.

[Cryptoad]

13. smoke it if ya got it

[Arazi]

14. Bernie is roaring up in her rear view mirror

Vroom vroom!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

53. Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear.

[Go Vols]

59. When looking to the right they do.

[appalachiablue]

18. Excellent. Let's also SUPPORT *TIM CANOVA FOR CONGRESS IN FL

who is challenging DWS' seat.

Fight on!

[californiabernin]

19. Well that is a really ignorant post

No wonder it was posted where it wouldn't be questioned.

[George II]

21. True, Sanders did not lose his momentum today, he really never had any to start with. But....

....with two of Sanders three strongest states having already voted, the pledged delegate count is now 50-50, and as some pundits are already saying, there is "no path to the nomination" now.

A 22% win in a tiny state got Sanders only 6 more delegates than Clinton, but Clinton got 2 more than him in Iowa and 4 more than him in Nevada.

He has seen his last lead.

[DownriverDem]

25. Bernie is important

Bernie's ideas and proposals are very important for the country. His ideas will/have enlightened people to what we need and what is possible. This is how you bring the country along. His ideas will only grow in support. Hillary has been greatly affected by Bernie & it's a very good thing.

[DownriverDem]

22. Be Prepared

Go to fivethirtyeight.com Click on the Primary Forecasts link at the top on the right. The drop down window allows you to follow whatever races you are following. It's very interesting. Nate Silver has a great reputation for predictions.

[JTFrog]

24. Oh look, a meta thread.

I imagine it was a rough day for some DUers.

On to SC and super Tuesday INDEED!!!!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

26. I thought Nevada result was very good for Bernie

He's now going to pick a good number of delegates and a lot of respect and donations. South Carolina is not going to be like 2008. The result could be fairly close.

[Politicalboi]

27. LOL! It's their Bubble

Makes me want to

They're cowards. No need for me to EVER be able to post in that sty. Let them sniff their own farts.

[Duval]

31. Kicked and recommended!

[retrowire]

34. losses are to be expected

and this is a tiny loss.

good luck Hillary.

[Cleita]

37. Not only that the Hillary campaign played dirty by turning out

casino culinary workers at the last minute in Clark county when it looked like she wasn't winning. So now that we know they aren't above putting their thumb on the scale, what we have to do is have a much bigger turnout everywhere from now. A big turnout is the only way you beat dirty tricks.

[jpb33]

38. Funny

It's funny Republicans are always lambasted by Democrats for voting against their interests or being dumb because they vote for politicians who do not have their interests at heart. But I have to say at this point at least Republicans have finally realized that the leaders of the Republican party, the elite of the party, are not to be trusted and therefore should not be voted for.

In contrast to Democrats who always think we are smarter, more informed, and more superior to Republicans voters. However, Dems still have not realized what the Reps have realized this election season. And that is the Democratic party leaders, the party elites, do not have our interests at heart. They have been lying to us for the past 20 years. And here are the Dems voting for and rooting for Hillary Clinton, the elite of the elite in the Democratic party. After all the evidence of Hillary lying to us. After making herself super rich by selling herself to rich bankers, and corporations. Dems are still going to elect her as the nominee.

If Jeb Bush was in our party the Dems would be lining up to support him. At least the Republicans have finally seen through the charade and will no longer vote for the republican establishment candidate. The question is when will Democrats realize the same thing?

[MrMickeysMom]

42. Sure thing...

K&R

[cui bono]

47. How is closing a 25 point lead from just one month ago to 4 points losing momentum?

They want us to give up.

We can't do that. This is too important.

I don't understand why they are so into supporting Wall Street, the health insurance industry and the private prison industry; fracking; TPP... what kind of Democrats are these who continue to desire this sort of country where the corporations control the govt?

The thing that is dying is democracy itself and Hillary supporters are working to put the nail in its coffin.

.

[INdemo]

48. If Hillary would have won by .0001%

Hillary and the corporate media would have treated it (like they did Iowa) a blow out.
At least Hillary waited to give her phony progressive victory speech after it was determined she won though

[RoccoR5955]

61. Of course they want us to give up

Unfortunately for them, we shall not, and they shall fail.
