Jane Sanders is not so good at math. Must be a family thing.

[DanTex]

She's on MSNBC claiming that 30% of the delegates are supers, whereas in fact it's 15%. Has she not been prepped at all? Is there just a culture that facts don't matter in the Bernie Camp?

You'd think think that after all the Pinocchios, somebody in Bernieland would start trying to get a few facts right.

[wyldwolf]

1. "Is there a culture that fact"s don't matter in the Bernie Camp?"

It permeates the "progressive" movement. Always has.

[LondonReign2]

41. "Conservatives" belong in the Republican party

[uponit7771]

2. These guys are just makin shit up as they go, revolution...break up big banks ... lower HC cost

... starting to think they're in it to make things interesting

[timmymoff]

44. Well Hillary wasn't going to make it interesting

"no we can't" is a terrible slogan.

[Bleacher Creature]

3. The entire Sanders campaign seems to be grasping at straws recently.

Particularly when pressed on his path to the nomination. Why should she be any different?

[Warren Stupidity]

4. A more serious question is "why do I even read this horseshit"?

[DanTex]

5. Seriously, how can she not know the fraction of supers? Is she not paying attention at all?

[Agschmid]

16. Do you use ignore?

I don't, I see it all.

[DURHAM D]

18. The bigger question is why do you feel the need to respond? nt

[Warren DeMontague]

27. An even bigger question is why you feel the need to respond to that.

Which of course probably means I'm due for an even bigger question.

We're gonna need a bigger thread, to hold all this inflationary inquiry.

[KingFlorez]

6. If the truth was told, the donations would stop

Or perhaps she is just as delusional as some of the people on the internet who think all of the delegates are super delegates waiting to still Bernie's crown.

[geek tragedy]

7. and she pretty much said the dog ate their tax returns, despite the fact they use Turbotax

and can download a copy at any time.

[enid602]

23. at any tme . . .

From anywhere. Even the Vatican.

[Dem2]

8. Is this the correct math?

712/4051 = 17.5%

[LexVegas]

9. Its lying not ignorance. nt

[NCTraveler]

10. The honesty aspect isn't an issue with them.

Tomorrow a small percentage of their email list will receive a solicitation for how the establishment is publicly disparaging his wife. Money will pour in.

[RandySF]

11. This explains

Why Burlington College was in such bad shape by the time she was let go.

[DURHAM D]

19. LOL

Amen to this.

[enid602]

24. Burlington College

And even lost its accreditation. Thankfully they scaped up enough cash to be rid of her.

[redstateblues]

12. The Sanders campaign uses fantasy math where numbers are concerned

[anotherproletariat]

13. Seems like a good person to have do your taxes... nt

[timlot]

14. I saw that too. I was like she just lying...

I like Jane Sanders, but if she going to be makings up her own numbers I might have to tell her to "go stand over there".

[TheCowsCameHome]

15. They should strip her of her CPA license.

This is just plain abhorrent behavior.

[giftedgirl77]

28. Hahahaha, is she really a CPA?

[Cassiopeia]

17. 36% of Hillary's current delegates are SD's

Didn't see the program so I can't speak toward the context of your post. Got a link handy?

[SidDithers]

20. #berniemath...nt

Sid

[Kensan]

21. Perhaps she meant 30% of..

the amount of total delegates needed to clinch the nomination?

I didn't see the clip, since I'm at work so I don't know the context. I imagine that would have been her point, since Hillary has a huge advantage in SD's, and the SD's will carry her over the top since the pledged delegates will not be enough.

But don't let me interfere with your rant.

[SocialLibFiscalCon]

22. Nice try.

I watched it and what she actually said was that super delegates made up 30% of the number needed to secure the nomination, not the total number available. It saddens me that so many on the Clinton side spend so much time trying to manufacture controversy around Bernie while completely ignoring all the legitimate controversy that engulfs Hillary....

[DanTex]

25. Wow, so she's actually lying, and not just mistaken.

[SocialLibFiscalCon]

32. Apparently it is you who is bad at math, let me help you...

2383 delegates needed to secure nomination. 719 super delegates available.

719/2383=30.172%

Now get a life clown.

[DanTex]

35. That's so absurdly dishonest that I really hope she was mistaken, and not trying to

sell that.

[SocialLibFiscalCon]

38. Math is dishonest?

Please explain? If all 719 super delegates vote for the same candidate, that is 30% of the total needed for the nomination. That is a fact.

[DanTex]

39. Trying to divide the total number of supers by 50% of the total delegates is

something that even Bernie Madoff would blush at. You can just see them thinking, hmm, 15% doesn't sound that big, how can we pump that number up...

Whoever is in charge of lying at Camp Bernie is really outdoing themselves.

[marble falls]

45. You try to keep adult and they go nuclear. Nice job staying civil, I might not have your patience!

[Goblinmonger]

46. All the superdelegates make up 30% of what is needed for the nomination.

That is absolutely true.

[Luminous Animal]

37. I didn't see your post before I posted but you are 100% correct.

[MrMickeysMom]

26. +1,000,000,000

30. Because that's all he has

I realized his mistake as soon as I read it.

Good post!

[Octafish]

31. Bill Clinton is so good at math Phil Gramm hired him to work in Wealth Management at UBS.

After his exit from the US Senate, Phil Gramm found a job at Swiss bank UBS as vice chairman. He later brought in former President Bill Clinton to the Wealth Management team. What a coincidence, they are the two key figures in repealing Glass-Steagal. Since the New Deal it was the financial regulation that protected the US taxpayer from the Wall Street casino. Oh well, what are a few hundred million in speaking fees compared to a $16 trillion bailout among friends?



It's a Buy-Partisan Who's Who:

President William J. Clinton
President George W. Bush Heh heh heh.
Robert J. McCann
James Carville
John V. Miller
Paula D. Polito
Anthony Roth
Mike Ryan
John Savercool

One of my attorney chums doesn't like to see his name on any committees, event letterhead or political campaign literature. These folks, it seems to me, are past caring.

Some of why DUers and ALL voters should care about Phil Gramm.

Until the Panama Papers, the fact USA's Notell-6 news media corpse don't bring this up AT ALL should be of great concern to all who care about Democracy.

[MADem]

34. She said she filed extensions on all her returns too.

She claims she can't release past year returns until she finishes doing this year's ....or something.

I was Less Than Impressed. She is not ready for the Big Show.

[Luminous Animal]

36. They actually are about 30% of those needed to win.

[grossproffit]

40. Rec for the headline alone.

[mythology]

42. You're just being petty

This is such small nonsense and you should be better than this.

[ecstatic]

43. It's Cruz-esque. I think their strategy is to lie in the hopes of

depressing turnout for Clinton; after all, if Bernie is inevitable, why bother to vote?

[Goblinmonger]

47. Why don't you provide her actual quotation?

Because then you would have to admit that she claimed that the total of all superdelegates would be 30% of the number needed for the nomination.

But that doesn't fit your ridiculous meme. So, have at it, I guess.
