On Politico.com it shows Sanders and Clinton both getting 13 delegates. How then is this a true win for Sanders other than a popular vote?
I don't know which is why I'm asking. Link at source.

Debbie Wasserman-Schultz fixed things so Hillary gets her committed superdelegates.
Regardless of whether the party actually embraces her.

Look into something they call “super delegates”.
It is all rigged.

She was given 6 delegates before the votes were counted.
That party defines corruption.

Don’t worry. Clinton is gone. Warren will commit political suicide this week and declare along with Biden after they are legally blocked from the time limits to enter. This will be hilarious to watch.

This doesn’t sound right. He’s spanking her by nearly a 2-1 margin. Perhaps they are waiting for 100% of the vote to come in before distributing them.

I believe something like 20% of the dem delegates are free to choose, which is to say, free to openly support Hill whoever they really support, if they want to live. The superdelegate thing. And ... I could be inaccurate about that.

If political is showing that they are getting an even split on deligates I think they’re wrong. Most other sources are showing that Sanders is getting most of the delegates.

Thanks to McGovern the Dem primary is rigged with super-delegates to make sure an establishment hack wins the nomination.
Sanders has to win the primary in a blowout for him to have a chance come the convention, since Hillary bought off everyone in the party.

Is there a good primary thread anywhere else? It looks like Jeb Bush is having a great night, 4th place and only a few hundred votes behind Ted Cruz. Rubio has dropped to 5th and 2nd place goes to Kaisch.

after they are legally blocked from the time limits to enter. This is a democrat party rule and they are free to change it whenever they want. And they will want.
