Hillary Clinton’s Rally - March 2

HELL’S KITCHEN, New York — When I shook hands with Hillary Clinton after her rally on the West Side, I kindly asked if she would sign my Bernie Sanders book. Clinton didn’t answer, of course, and probably didn’t even hear me.

However, one of her Secret Service agents did hear me and responded on Clinton’s behalf. “She only signs her books,” he said.

7. Wyoming says that there is no momentum

The delegate count was a tie.

10. There was a momentum of twelve points, the delegate count reflects the fuzy math used in that state

to apportion delegates

[LiberalFighter]

13. There was nothing fuzzy about the math.

It is the same math for all of the states.

Sanders 156 of 280 is 55.71%
Clinton 124 of 280 is 44.28%

District Delegates (8)
Sanders: 55.71% X 8 = 4.457143 rounded to 4

Clinton: 44.28% X 8 = 3.542857 rounded to 4

At-Large Delegates (4)
Sanders: 55.71% X 4 = 2.2284 rounded to 2

Clinton: 44.28% X 4 = 1.7712 rounded to 2

PLEO Delegates (2)
Sanders: 55.71% X 2 = 1.1142 rounded to 1
Clinton: 44.28% X 2 = 0.8856 rounded to 1


=============
If Wyoming had 9 or more delegates at the district level there would not had been a tie.

TOTALS
Sanders: 7
Clinton: 7

14. But there was momentum, Sanders won a primary by a 12% margin, that is called momentum. /nt

15. For a state that will not vote for any Democratic candidate in the general?

I don't think so.

They only tallied 280 total votes. No popular votes available. Reports are that turnout not as high as in 2008.

[Dragonfli]

16. Your math is way off by the way, you appear too uninformed to even bother talking to

sorry for wasting your time, you have talking points to spread that you don't even understand,
and you are wasting my time with utter nonsense.

Have a good time doing what you do.

[LiberalFighter]

18. Is that what you do? Just make it up?

[Dragonfli]

19. .

Let me google what you are currently exhibiting

[libdem4life]

8. Yep.

9. The Spirit that is mentioned here is worth more than anything Hillary Clinton has ever said or done.

I still believe Bernie can win and will win the nomination. I believe that if people are listening, they will stand up and show up in New York and California.

But if he doesn't this Spirit that has capture so many will continue to be a political force, and the hard thing is going to be to know where it is going to manifest next.

IF Hillary wins, she could possibly capture that Spirit. But I'm not at all sure she or the DNC or the Democratic Party wants to or has the means or will to try. And if they don't, that is most likely going to be a tragedy for the Democratic Party this year.

17. Is Hillary a bookist?!

Only signing her own books!? The nerve! She should feel privileged about being expected to sign this copy of Twilight that I'm bringing to her next signing appearance. How 1% of her - other authors are happy to sign whatever random volumes are put in front of them at book signings. Try it and see!
