Related: About this forumMeanwhile in Mississippi... Bernie below 15% threshold.
Hillary up 87-11 (only 1% reporting however)
If he cant break 15% Hillary gets all 36 delegates.

(5,191 posts)I can't see why Hillary wining so many Red States will translate to a Democratic victory in November.

(26,795 posts)The way the DNC and media has treated the Sanders campaign makes that arguable.

(27,814 posts)There's that vast conspiracy against Bernie, which includes the DNC, the MSM, DWS, WJC, HRC supporters, John Lewis, Howard Dean, Rachel Maddow, Elizabeth Warren, Gabby Giffords, Sybrina Fulton, Al Franken - ya know, ALL the Democrats who have endorsed Hillary, all the voters who are voting for her (even as we speak) - and pretty much everybody on the planet.
It's too bad that Bernie's much-touted "revolution" was so easily shut down. As I've said before, if the American revolutionists had been anything like Bernie's revolutionists, we'd all be singing "God Save the Queen" at baseball games.

I'd love to see an illustrated version with all the straw men and women variously attired. What a hoot!

(10,164 posts)The primary schedule has pretty clearly favored Hillary. By the time the primary schedule rolls around to states like mine, momentum (as relentlessly hyped by the corporate media) may have decided things. A one-day, national primary would allow everyone's vote to actually matter. Ditch the Electoral College while we're at it, and we'd be a hell of a lot closer to democracy. As a voter in a late primary state that's not in play, my vote, in the primary and in the GE alike, is meaningless.
NanceGreggs
(27,814 posts)... with whether Democrats in red states have a right to have their votes included?
Lizzie Poppet
(10,164 posts)I was pointing out that because of the scheduling (and relentless media screeching that "Bernie's done" , a lot of late-primary Democratic voters don't have any real say. Their votes might be part of the final tally, but the matter was already decided without them.

(28 posts)I think you can get delegates if you get 15% or more in a congressional district.
BlueMTexpat
(15,368 posts)he has met the threshold.
But Hillary will indeed get the bulk of the MS delegates, whatever happens from here on.
