What happened tonight in Nevada underscores a theme in this primary

[HerbChestnut]

The Bernie Sanders campaign has the more enthusiastic supporters. Period.

[Avalux]

1. Not just enthusiastic, but dedicated as well.

They stayed true to their word and followed through for Bernie. I read that about 600 of Hillary's delegates didn't show. That seems like a big number, it's curious to say the least.

[kgnu_fan]

4. it is amazing

[pugetres]

10. What is being spread on DU tonight

by Clinton supporters might be part of the reason that the Clinton delegates didn't show up.

I wonder if their misinterpretation led to people believing that the delegates didn't have to show up today.

[reformist2]

32. It's bizarre. Who did they think would do the actual electing at the state convention???

Or maybe they didn't give it any thought at all??

[dchill]

2. And determined.

[Lucinda]

3. Perhaps they should vote more then. n/t

[HerbChestnut]

6. Hillary won the South, congrats.

Maybe you've noticed what's been happening in the campaign these last few weeks...

[Lucinda]

7. Yeppers. Hillary has a huge lead by every metric.

Exciting times!

[HerbChestnut]

8. Look, I understand wanting to be optimistic about your candidate...

...But that's simply not true. She's about to lose again on Tuesday.

[tomm2thumbs]

18. every metric

apparently doesn't include 'trustworthiness', 'enthusiasm by supporters', 'donations from voters', 'attendance at rallies'

I could go on

[Baobab]

22. They are tied now. Sanders has gone up a lot in the past few days.

26. I wonder if their campaign was asked to comment ahead of the release

hence her lashing out a Greenpeace girl asking a simple question in a normal voice

[Lucinda]

27. And if she does, she will still have a huge lead. And we have NY on the horizon.

The math is not in your guys favor.

[rhett o rick]

17. You see exciting times as the wealthy looting the middle and working classes. Sick.

[revbones]

5. But didn't Blue Nation Review have an article by Peter Daou saying Hillary's supporters are fired up

Oh yeah, Blue Nation Review is a Hillary Pravda style propaganda site owned by one of her super-PACs. Almost forgot...

[itsrobert]

9. Another theme is Hillary has more votes and delegates

and Bernie "Three Pinocchios" Sanders has no chance at the nomination.

[HerbChestnut]

11. Yep, she's currently winning a primary that was frontloaded in her favor

Big surprise. Unfortunately for her the rest of the country gets to vote, and it's even looking like her "home state" is in play. Look, I don't want to come off as being overly nasty, but Bernie has performed way better than anybody predicted. That alone should be a clue that there's something wrong with Hillary Clinton as a candidate. She had everything lined up and ready to go at the beginning of this primary. She had the name recognition, she had the money, she had the support of the entire Democratic establishment. But frankly, it's all coming apart.

[itsrobert]

12. I feel sorry for people like you

Believing the lies by the Bernie campaign. He has no path to the nomination.

[Hydra]

13. If he has a path, it's only because Clinton couldn't be bothered to reach out to the people

She's had every advantage- she should be crushing it everywhere. The fact that she needs so many people to do damage control for her all over social media is embarrassing.

[tomm2thumbs]

16. exactly

Damage-Control-Patrol®

if there is no path for Bernie, why even bother to campaign and save all that money for the General Election

HRC knows they are on thin ice and are doing their best to keep the AC running so the ice doesn't melt before June is up

[Hydra]

19. I swear, they're getting no sleep this week

Between Hillary's volcanic temper tantrum and some of the lame excuses for her past behavior, I'm surprised they haven't burned the whole campaign down yet.

[Gwhittey]

23. Step back and look at what you are arguing with.

You are arguing in your real world where you know SD have to vote in convention that has not happened yet. The person against you is arguing in a lala dream-state where the SD are already locked in and don't vote at the convention. So in their mind there is no way for Sanders to win. No it is not there fault really the M$M have ruined their brains and they can no longer filter out bullshit that Hillary tells them.

[Hydra]

29. Oh, I'm aware of who I am addressing in a general sense

I'm reminding Team Hill that they should not be in the situation they are in right now if they were even if they were phoning it in. That's what I love about having Team Hill here- it's like having personal reps for the campaign available at all times to question.

[roguevalley]

15. don't feel sorry.

[rhett o rick]

20. I don't at all feel sorry for those like you that idolize the wealthy at the expense of those

struggling. You think that wealth is the measure and you want to be liked by them. We will fight you and the plutocratic oligarchy that you revere until the very end. You might feel comfortable siding with the Big Money boys but sooner or later we will bring the corruption you accept, down.

[itsrobert]

25. Drink responsiblity

Hope you aren't driving tonight.

[rhett o rick]

28. How can you choose to side with the wealthy and turn your back on those struggling among us.

I know it's authoritarian adulation. Worship the wealth, worship the wealthy.

[Hydra]

30. "It's good to be the King!"

They all think they will be more than lackeys at some point. Or maybe they are "happy" with the better quality table scraps? Either way, some of them say they are in the 1%, and once you get there, you never want to leave.

The rest of us? Useless eaters.

[rhett o rick]

31. I know these people well. They are the ones that hid behind the biggest bully on the playground

and stuck their tongues out as the bully beat up smaller kids. They disgust me more than the bullies.

[libdem4life]

33. It would be nice if we could get responsibility by some kind of drink.

Think of the difference it would make.

[HerbChestnut]

21. It appears that Hillary disagrees.

[Baobab]

24. which home state?

Which of Hillary's home states is in play?

[tomm2thumbs]

14. and lots of them - and the numbers are growing exponentially

biggest hurdle is the unknown-candidate issue, as most people who are unaware of issues in general are probably voting on familiarity over details. I was surprised how many people did not know of Martin O' Malley by the New Hampshire primary, and he had been running a long time. Saw that in a focus group report.
