Sanders picks up more superdelegates

Sanders picks up more super delegates
DANIEL STRAUSS
Politico

Sen. Bernie Sanders picked up another superdelegate on Thursday: New Hampshire Democratic Party vice chairwoman Martha Fuller Clark, who also serves as a state senator.

Clark's backing on Thursday, confirmed by the Sanders campaign, is the latest in a trio of superdelegate endorsements Sanders has gained in the past week.

On Tuesday, Hawaii's Democratic Party elected Tim Vandeveer as its party chairman, meaning he also becomes a superdelegate. Vandeveer said he would vote for Sanders at the state party convention. A week earlier, West Virginia Democratic National Committeewoman Elaine Harris said she would support Sanders in her role as a superdelegate.

They are the arbiters of the entirety of this crazy season. They see what has happened without the BubbleBlindFolds. They want to be re-elected. So, if there is a momentum in their state for Bernie and new voters who are excited...just sayin'.

There is no fix until the last vote is counted.

One thing that has not been discussed, but is a real issue, is HRCs health, prescription drug usage and the weight gain that accompanies that drug/drugs. Flame away, but it's a real issue...not PC, but an issue.

other than those who post here, who are a miniscule percentage of the Real World.

I don't mind leaving here. Then the one-liner hubris-affected posters can just post to themselves, just one big Hillary Group. Warning...it loses its fun and power.

ETA: The weight gain is likely prescription drug induced. I've experienced that myself with sleep meds and it is a terrible predicament. I've never mentioned her weight and would never. Again, it's likely the Coumadin she's taken for a long time. It's not an aspirin.

You've done so twice in this thread.

15 days until this kind of Trumpian nonsense is verboten here.

He will be 86 in July. He did not have a weight problem, and he actually lost weight on a low carb diet. Just how long has she taken it, and what is your expertise in prescription drugs and why would this be a problem for her as president?

One does not have to have an MD license to become informed...just to prescribe. Nor does one have to provide a link for what one has learned. You are capable of informing yourself or just discard the information.

I would be willing to bet if Hillary were trying to flip his delegates, not only would he be pissed of, but his followers would go berserk! I guess the hypocrisy of it all goes right over their heads.

It ain't over until the convention.

Anyone who tries to argue that will go on my ignore list. Done with it.
