1. Look at that empirical evidence

I know basic math seems to be turned into something its not but that speaks for itself. Its not calculus folks. There's no formula needed. Thats pretty much it right there.

3. Yeah, that says it all. The lack of follow-up is astounding.

And I say that while thinking that the majority of the 'complaints' about Sanders are merely knee-jerk responses to the Clinton haters. If there's one glaring defect with the Sanders campaign, it's that he doesn't see things through. Once he's done with one speech, he's onto the next with no actions taken between.

2. So, were they too stupid to show up?

Or were they just too disgusted with the corruption of the Sanders campaign?

They are ignorant of the process and think that rallies are the bomb.

You can screech "She can't win!" all you want but it doesn't change the fact that she's winning.

16. That's true-- if you believe Fox News

Go to RealClearPolitics and take the favorable/unfavorable spread from the four polls conducted this month and then remove the Fox poll. Based on the other three Trumps unfavorable is 27.3 points higher than his favorable.

Same thing for Clinton -- compare favorable v unfavorable numbers without the Fox poll. It's 18.3. Not the greatest number but significantly better than trump.

So here's a suggestion-- stop relying on Fox News. As has been proven Fox News makes people less not more well informed.

11. Clinton delegates seems to be able to find parking with no difficulty.

Or were the parking lots rigged against Sanders too?

19. Anyone who has been to Vegas knows this is total bull

Driving around for an hour looking for parking? Total horseshit. The Paris hotel is right in the center of the strip and there is TONS of parking all around. Claiming there was nowhere to park at/near a strip hotel in Vegas is like claiming you went to the north pole and didn't find any ice. Just total horseshit.

Since the convention chair refused to do a recount of the original count, which was done before the convention was even scheduled to start, those numbers have nothing to do with reality. Your willingness to glaze over the fact that Bernie did have enough delegates there to keep the delegates earned at the county level, but were somehow disqualified without given a chance to refute the disqualifying factors, speaks volumes. By not allowing the recount the numbers you show are just flat out wrong, even if MSNBC says different. Roberta Lange actually ignored countless motions for the recount. Why would she do that?

I get that Hillary's East Coast Core hates the West Coast but really you can't win without us. Spitting on us is not going to be helpful to anyone.
