"In a surprising reversal in Nevada, Sanders could actually end up winning the majority of Nevada delegates, even though Hillary Clinton won the first round of the Nevada caucus in February. On Saturday, Sanders won the support of 55 percent of the delegates at county-level voting. These delegates will now head to the state convention on May 14, which will determine Nevadas final delegate count. Saturdays county-level caucuses in Nevada were marked by turmoil, especially at the largest convention in Clark County, where Hillary Clintons campaign tried at the last minute to oust a top official who supports Sanders. The credentials chair staged a sit-in in the middle of the convention after the Clinton campaign accused her of sharing sensitive information with the Sanders campaign and demanded she be removed. In response, the credentials chair said the Clinton campaign was trying to change the caucus rules at the last minute and that she had only included the Sanders staffers on an email so that both campaigns would have the same information."

(45,120 posts)That showed people how soft her support was there and I think it's actually an indication of how soft it is in other states she has won. To me it was like an early preview of the GE. Down she goes.

(45,120 posts)It just made me so happy. Clinton people keep saying Bernie supporters won't show up to vote in the GE, I think this showed that they will.

Neither case was technically rules-breaking, right?

(34,661 posts)We are not locked in to a single Candidate. Strong argument for a Primary Elections. Sure worked to increase Democratic Party registration numbers. Remember this,the GOP is going to dump a Billion dollars in Nevada to get Heck elected. Mitch McConnell wants payback for what Reid did to him in Kentucky.

(10,476 posts)If the names were submitted late, then Sanders had every opportunity to challenge her late entry as she did to his.
Time is a flat circle, alright alright alright.

(8,541 posts)Left off the ballot it will just end up hurting Hillary.
That said I do think it's not a good think that people might not get the chance to vote how they want.

(154,021 posts)The Bernie campaign stopped those delegates from showing? I will wait for your detailed answer while writing an essay on how the Chargers intend to bamboozle the people of my fine city.
