And it's not just New Hampshire. I think Sanders probably won the popular vote in Iowa too, but the same kind of finagling gave Clinton the edge in delegates.

I have no proof of this, but I presume that Clinton knows the popular vote, and she would have leaked the raw vote totals if she had actually won the popular vote.

She can't let the fact out that she lost the popular vote but won a majority of the delegates. Losing a primary by a hair would be acceptable, but winning the delegate count when she lost the popular vote would just confirm everyone's suspicions about Clinton's political machinations, and that would drive even more people to Bernie.

My hope is that Hillary isn't pushed out too early. Biden-Warren would be a harder ticket to beat. Sanders can't win a general election, and Hillary probably wouldn't win.

I bet Warren is banging her head on the awl right now for choosing to stay out. On the other hand, the Party MUST have crossed her hand with gold or the equivalent to keep her from challenging Clinton.

For Sanders it all goes South from now on. I don’t see how he wins against the plantation vote there. Never thought I would be rooting for a socialist, although a hundred years ago, I might have gone for Gene Debs because he also was an honest man.

I’m pretty sure you are right again. When it comes to corruption; nothing is out of bounds for the clinton machine.

The Clinton machine is corrupt, and Democrat politics is a nasty business beyond the Clintons as well. If the Dem insiders decide that Biden, say, is their best bet, they'll find a way to make that happen.

I'm also under no illusions that the Republicans are pure as the driven snow. Don't get me started on the GOPe; I am sick of the old bait and switch—promising Constitutional government but then just playing go-along-get-along, letting leftism creep into acceptance, slowly but surely.

Time limits/rules mean nothing to Democrats. Frank Lautenberg comes to mind.

As harrowing as it is seeing the squabbles here, what fun to watch the Democrats pretend that Hillary is doing well.

Those are the totals that made me nervous...

But in the end, Rs won a majority of total votes. Staying tuned.

This is what makes me nervous..only because young, indoctrinated, inexperienced youth voted in huge majorities for 0bama. I got this link off of one of my friend’s kid’s Facebook page..look at how the Sanders campaign explains to young voters...particularly, the ‘Too long, didn’t read?’ statement. Makes me cringe. http://voteforbernie.org/

That site is right about one thing-the deck IS stacked in Hillary's favor.

But I wonder how many of those Burnout Sanderz kidz know that he is Jewish?

As we all know, Jews are almost as bad as Christians or worse (if you live in Shariastan). That might conflict with their indoctrination. /s

I remember that. Ha. It is going to happen. There are high level meetings happening as we speak. IMO. I am convinced that Bloomberg will now come in as “independent”, ( GREAT!!!) and That horrible woman will come in although she has never done anything— ever! Warren.
Biden is checking funding right now.
I have speculated that because that is such a motley field that al gore will also fly in.
