11. ONLY After The Culinary Workers Union People Were >>>PAID TO CAUCUS FOR HER!

Cannot win without nefarious deeds put up by Harry Reid!

http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/20/politics/casino-employees-nevada-caucuses-wait-time/

"Gabriella, a maid at Caesars who only provided CNN her first name, said that the paid time off made her more likely to come caucus for Clinton as she took her seat."

http://www.nybooks.com/daily/2016/02/22/election-pileup-three-branches-up-for-grabs/

Clinton won Nevada with a lot of help.(CHEATING) Her husband campaigned heavily for her there, but perhaps even more important, Harry Reid, the longtime senator from that state who is arguably the boss of the Democratic party there, put his heavy hand on the scales. Clearly believing, as do virtually all of his Senate colleagues and the party leadership, that Clinton was far the stronger candidate to compete in the general election, Reid convinced the state’s union leaders to allow time off to vote in the caucuses—above all the Culinary Workers Union, which hadn’t taken a position on the primary because its workers (particularly the younger ones, as opposed to the leaders) tended to favor Sanders.

2. Great!

[FrenchieCat]

3. Excellent!

[workinclasszero]

4. Great!

[Cobalt Violet]

5. Terrible.

A vote for Hillary is a vote for Trump.

[SammyWinstonJack]

7. Or cruz or rubio.

[Ligyron]

6. Depressing. eom

[Kentonio]

8. Congrats to her for her lead.

But can we please stick to reporting the pledged delegates total, not this super delegates nonsense.

[Blue_Adept]

12. How about we list both?

Particularly since people still don't understand superdelegates and don't need to be surprised later in the year when they become a greater focus.

[Kentonio]

13. If they're both listed, sure.

[Blue_Adept]

18. Which the OP does

[Chasstev365]

9. A Great Future!

Using super delegates is such a good way to reach out to young voters! The future is bright in the Democratic Party. If you can't win on your own; cheat!

[Agschmid]

21. Superdelegates aren't "cheating"...

Good lord does no one understand how this process works?

[Chasstev365]

24. oh, I'm sorry

You see kids, your vote counts, unless the party establishment says otherwise!

[Agschmid]

28. Your vote does count.

Who said it didn't?

The spin is ridiculous around here.

Work for your candidate, stop making baseless accusations of cheating when the system is operating as it has for years and Sanders signed up for.

If you want to change the system go for it... Here are the changes I would make:

- No Caucuses
- Strip Iowa and NH of their first in nation status, move to regional primaries
- Make states winner take all

[bunnies]

31. What about counting votes from imaginary people?

Is that cheating?

[Agschmid]

32. Caucuses suck.

How many times do I need to say that?

They should be gone, today!

How does disenfranchising hundreds possibly thousands of people who can't make it to "vote". The whole caucus system is sham, unfortunately it seems both our candidates support that system at this time.

[bunnies]

33. I agree with you. They suck monumentally.

And I cant believe how damn many there are. Why in the world would a state chose a caucus instead of a primary?? Makes no damn sense to me.

[Agschmid]

35. Me either, it's bullshit.

[greymouse]

10. I wonder how much of that

was due to the pro-Hillary SEIU lying.

[bigtree]

17. and red shirts!

...sike!

memories...

Bernie Sanders’ campaign is getting nailed for some unethical shenanigans

... the Sanders campaign was accused of impersonating union workers to gain access to the dining rooms of the powerful Culinary Union, in order to talk to its members.

The campaign denied staffers were impersonating union members, but acknowledged they were wearing the Culinary Union button “in solidarity with people.”

The tiff has since been resolved, but a union representative said earlier this week they were “disappointed and offended” and that it was “completely inappropriate for any campaign to attempt to mislead Culinary Union members, especially at their place of work.”

14. Thanks for posting

[mikeysnot]

15. Great news!

For trump......

[DCBob]

16. We should mark this as the moment Hillary took the lead and never looked back.

Next stop the White House!

[MrMickeysMom]

19. I know we can't go out of your neighborhood, Bob...

It makes you very uncomfortable...

But, let's correct you on how important Super-delegates are in the race...

They are not.

[riversedge]

22. Hilary's agenda is FORWARD!

[Major Hogwash]

20. Woohoo! She blew $150 million dollars in 3 states and has 1 more delegate than Bernie to show for it

Wow, that's amazing!!!!!!!

23. Sanders Spent Nearly Twice as Much as Clinton on TV Ads as Nevada Vote Approaches

Sanders Spent Nearly Twice as Much as Clinton on TV Ads as Nevada Vote Approaches

The Democratic candidates have spent a combined $50 million on TV ads since the beginning of the campaign.

Bernie Sanders poured about $2.9 million into broadcast ads last week, nearly twice as much as Hillary Clinton, his rival for the Democratic presidential nomination, spreading his message to crucial Super Tuesday states.

Since winning the New Hampshire Democratic primary on Feb. 9, Sanders has boosted his spending on television by about 70 percent, according to an estimate through Feb. 15 by Kantar Media's CMAG, which tracks political ads on broadcast television and national cable. Clinton spent $1.6 million during the same period, a 45 percent increase from the week before.

In Nevada and South Carolina, the next two tests in the nomination fight, Sanders and Clinton have spent roughly the same amount. Sanders' move to deploy resources beyond those votes illustrates the momentum his campaign has gained and the fundraising he has commanded along with it. The Sanders campaign announced he raised $5.2 million in the 18 hours after the New Hampshire polls closed.

QuickTake U.S. Campaign Finance

Sanders outspent Clinton by more than two to one in Denver, Minneapolis, Tulsa and Oklahoma City, according to an analysis by Ken Goldstein, a University of San Francisco professor and Bloomberg Politics analyst. While CMAG's estimate is limited to broadcast and national cable, Goldstein's analysis also includes local cable and satellite spending. Colorado and Minnesota hold caucuses on March 1 while Oklahoma holds a primary.

36. Yeah, there's all those balloons.

[Matariki]

25. 'Ekes out' being the operative phrase here - after a historical shellacking in New Hampshire

We are only three states in. Clinton supporters are playing a perception game at this point. I wouldn't get too excited yet if I were you.
