Denver Post uncovers that Democratic Party told Hillary Clinton's campaign about caucus counting mistake, but kept public and Bernie Sanders camp in the dark

Bernie Sanders won one more delegate in Colorado than first projected after the Colorado Democratic Party admitted this week that it misreported the March 1 caucus results from 10 precinct locations.
The error first uncovered by The Denver Post was shared with rival Hillary Clinton's campaign by party officials but kept from Sanders until the Post told his staff Monday night.
The mistake is a minor shift with major implications. The new projection now shows the Vermont senator winning 39 delegates in Colorado, compared to 27 for Clinton.

Asked why he told one campaign and not the other, Palacio said "it didn't necessarily affect (them). It was our mistake that ended up affecting the estimation on Hillary's campaign."

(15,646 posts)They didn't tell Bernie's campaign because they didn't want to be the harbinger of good news for Bernie. They just couldn't bring themselves to do that.

What a blatantly stupid and disingenuous answer, It affected both campaigns to the same degree regarding "estimations" and delegates.
Just how stupid does that spokesperson think we are?

Well after reading about this Colorado Democratic Party 'mistake' It made me think about Dr. Jill Stein's remarks, that reaffirms ......One of the predominant themes of the 2016 presidential campaign thus far and one that is unlikely to lose significance once the primaries give way to the general election is the American peoples exasperation with a political system they see as corrupt, self-serving, disingenuous and out of touch.
It is not an especially partisan or ideological sentiment; you can just as easily find it among supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders as among fans of Donald Trump. the Deep State has insinuated itself throughout the fabric of what once was America. Its tendrils reach from Washington down to every part of civil society. Like a metastasized cancer, it can no longer be easily eradicated.
Something is very wrong and many Americans know it as do almost all Bernie supporters like ourselves. What Ive always noticed is that when you start scratching the surface of someones worldview you find very quickly that they, just as you, have an understanding that theres something not right with the world around us. Not everyone has the motivation or the education or the background to kind of dive into this like a madman obsessed with getting to the truth, but they know. They feel it in their bones. Theres something wrong, desperately wrong, with the state of the world,
