If you want the inside scoop on Nevada read... (HILLARY GROUP POST)

https://twitter.com/RalstonReports

Sample:
Pro tip: Don't listen to the campaigns on what shift means. 23 of 35 delegates at stake set proportionally by Feb. 20 results. Period. 1/2

The other 12 are up for grabs. Clinton had 20-15 overall lead based on Feb. 20 results. Doubt Sanders can shift enough delegates to win. 2/2

Sorry to bother the breathless folks with, you know, math. Whatever final tally, it doesn't change overall national delegate dynamic much.

I think it's unlikely it switches the state. But even if it did, cuts very little into her overall lead.

when I can proclaim that thanks to various factors (the most pertinent one being age and aging) Bernie Sanders will never ever be President. I'm going to shout that from the rooftops when he concedes because I am sick of him and his campaign.

caucus vote, not the county tally. So the state will remain Hillary's if correct.

Doesn't begin to cut into .clintons 700+ delegate lead. It's absurd. I find it amazing how every strategy is tried other than actually winning votes.

And some of the same people call Rove undemocratic? [He certainly is, but it shows a total lack of awareness of how eagerly they themselves try to subvert Democratic party processes.] Irony indeed.

If one's candidate chooses to run as a Democrat after refusing to do so throughout his career, he can't change the party's rules just to suit his own convenience. That is definitely a candidacy of convenience rather than of conscience.

Hear anything about voter fraud. Hillary can win by being above board and honest.

Emphasis there is mine. Says all that needs to be said, in my opinion. So what, he's down 258 now instead of 260?

he's used the Dem Party long enough & we all know it.
NY will say it loudly, that the Dem Party rejects bernie sanders.
Buh bye bernie

The time to win NV was in Feb, after Bernie won NH.

HILLARY's win in NV was the event that took the wind out of Sander's sails and set her on the path that has her way ahead in delegates. If Sanders nets 2 more delegates out of the NV D Convention, so what?

He's stealing previously pledged delegates now in states she won long ago? So much for integrity.
