It shows Hill getting one (1) more delegate than Bernie. She has 26, he has 25.
Hardly a smashing victory!

Seriously?
You win 7/8 and will win this one, and you still choose to come shit on a thread?

(28,749 posts)So yes that was WAY to broad of a brush.
revbones
(3,660 posts)and single out a single Bernie supporter for doing nothing more than many Hillary followers do all the time.

(28,749 posts)So sticking with the brush stroke analogy that's a bit too wide.
revbones
(3,660 posts)Otherwise, you should correct yourself...
Come into a thread attack, and then demand an apology because you got called on it.
I'm good.
Enjoy the WY win.

(28,749 posts)That post was off the wall.
Avalon Sparks
(2,566 posts)I certainly don't think any Dem supports that, merely pointing out how conservative that area is.
As I mentioned my friends daughter going to college there. My friend's daughter is gay and she fights discrimination there on a daily basis. A lot of concerned folks often express concern to her that she's going to hell.
It seems more conservative pockets go for Hillary. I don't think there is a Dem in the world that would support any discrimination against gay people, much less violence.
Agschmid
(28,749 posts)I was in an interracial gay male relationship and my boyfriend was called a (n-word) and we were both called (faggot) just walking down Pearl St. in Burlington VT in 2006.
That was an incredibly odd post.
mythology
(9,527 posts)Or Oklahoma, Nebraska, Alaska, Kansas, Idaho and Utah? I mean it would be accurate to point out that Idaho is home to the aryan nation and Utah has a substantial number of Mormons who had to be dragged kicking and screaming to not allow polygamy and to let black people into their church. But those would be meaningless facts as they don't relate to the people who are voting in the Democratic primary. Likewise the fact that my landlords are deeply conservative pro-lifers doesn't mean they reflect the population at large here in the suburbs of Boston.
We let Democrats in places like Oklahoma, Mississippi and Wyoming vote because even in the deep red states there are Democrats.
But also the county covering Boston Mass, went for Clinton by over 15%. The county that includes Cambridge, went for Clinton by nearly 5%. Not exactly bastions of conservatism. Both Clinton and Sanders have won in states and pockets that have more and less conservative voters.

(28,749 posts)Which is bull.
I get that you guys only think she can win conservative states.
Also bull.
And I get that you think you are the end all be all on the topic, but you aren't.
The fact that you have to throw mud even when you win is ridiculous.
Viva_La_Revolution
(28,791 posts)She's gonna have to use every rule in the book to still get the nomination. Like the rules they changed so her strongest states would vote first.
I'll stop and let you have your celebration now
Agschmid
(28,749 posts)Is that really a bad thing?
C'mon.
Be real.
Viva_La_Revolution
(28,791 posts)Using that rule to pad the vote would be a bad thing. I'm waiting for the details of who these voters were.

(28,749 posts)They matter.
She won one county, that's it. I'm shocked to see the win, and plesantly suprised.
Avalon Sparks
(2,566 posts)It's the most conservative county in Wyoming. Dems will likely be more conservative - seems to be a pattern that conservative Dems vote for Hillary. She's far right fiscally and on War.
Agschmid
(28,749 posts)This whole she only wins in RW states thing is baseless.

(3,040 posts)100% of the mail in/surrogate ballots went to Hillary. Even the most corrupt regimes in 3rd world nations usually go with 98% of the votes...

(4,187 posts)... if they can't make it because of disability, health issues, children or other dependent family members who need to be taken care of, or having to work three jobs?
This, in fact, explains Bernie's wins in caucus states. I've long thought that it was the young people, who don't have health issues or multiple jobs, or family members to take care of, who were leading to the big Bernie wins. But of course, disenfranchisement is just fine with most of the folks here, as long as it helps Bernie.
Else You Are Mad
(3,040 posts)... but, I just find it odd that the surrogates had an overly large amount of Hillary voters when the majority of those that live in the community that showed up voted for Bernie.

zazen
(2,978 posts)If so, I can't in all honesty call it foul play.
However, if this was something only approved furtively and then made privately available to Clinton supporters about which Sanders' supporters weren't informed, well, then, that's probably illegal.
Could someone clear this up?
As much as I don't care for the Clinton's and DWS' tactics, I really don't want to believe they'd stoop this low and would prefer to think that the Sanders' campaign just got out-strategized here.
Agschmid
(28,749 posts)It's readily available in Wyoming.
Joob
(1,065 posts)Anyone who can't attend the (DATE) caucuses because of work schedule, illness, religious observance, military service, or disability can still vote by submitting a surrogate affidavit form
zazen
(2,978 posts)However, I hope it can't be gamed.
I really don't get bent out of shape if my candidate doesn't win if I believe the voting was fair. I get frustrated with the voters, but that's a different issue and ultimately the responsibility of our campaign to help better reach them.
I guess the question is how can the affidavits be verified (sort of like excuses for jury duty) and will the caucuses be re-run if there were discrepancies?
Seems like this option would favor Bernie if there were a lot of Orthodox Jews in Wyoming.

FWIW, surrogate ballots were also allowed in the Washington State Caucus.
