Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is projected to win the Wyoming caucuses, giving him eight wins in the last nine contests.
The state awards just 14 delegates on a proportional basis, but the win is another jolt of momentum for Sanders heading into the critical New York primary April 19.
Both campaigns paid little attention to Wyoming. Sanders held a rally there Tuesday. Rival Hillary Clinton did not go to the state, but her husband Bill Clinton did.

You didn’t really just say that women aren’t capable of rational thought did you?
“They didn’t want the poor, women, and children voting and for good reason,”
Everyone needs to stop pinning on the Founders what does not exist, especially in the Constitution.
There is NOTHING in the Founders’ Constitution about whom should vote. It was and is left to the states.
This is a myth that needs to die.
Women voted in NJ in the 1790s. Blacks voted in various places. Later, their franchises were abolished here.
They did not universally think women or blacks or poor, etc, should be disenfranchised.
See my 62.
The Founders didn’t put a right to vote in the Constitution for a REASON.
Its all of the Amendments since taking away States rights to dictate voting rights that are the problem.
I think he means that only women who owned property would have the right to vote.
The notion of a property owning republic is different from a pure democracy. It is indeed a potentially more stable system.
Not all, just the majority, who will vote for SHRILLARY! the archcriminal or BERNIE! the Jew communist.
That is correct.
But the gist of your post was the mythical “Founders were bigots” belief that they all banned this, that and the other from voting.
There is nothing the Constitution about that.
That many enacted these qualifications locally is not the point. Some did not. Thus, it is NOT universal that the Founding generation enacted univeral rules because they “had a reason for keeping poor, women, blacks, etc from voting”.
A majority?
Is 52% really that significant to count statistically?
Try 90% from a certain demographic if you want certain predictability.
Depend upon it, sir, it is dangerous to open So fruitfull a Source of Controversy and Altercation, as would be opened by attempting to alter the Qualifications of Voters. There will be no End of it. New Claims will arise. Women will demand a Vote. Lads from 12 to 21 will think their Rights not enough attended to, and every Man, who has not a Farthing, will demand an equal Voice with any other in all Acts of State. It tends to confound and destroy all Distinctions, and prostrate all Ranks, to one common Level.
-John Adams
Here is what Adams wrote when talk of expanding the franchise came soon after ratification, which by the way would not have happened if the Constitution granted voting rights to women, children, and the poor.
What?
Adams, great as he us, is one man. Not a whole population or even the group of Founders.
Just admit there is no qualification in the Constitution, created by the Founders.
There are now 4 or 5 Amendments to the Constitution that prevent States from disenfranchising different classes of people,in direct contradiction to the Founding fathers agreement that this would be a State issue.
Republic’s and Universal Suffrage are not compatible.
You mistake omission from the original document with lack of intent.
we want Hillary to get the nod.
under 30, maybe 35 ######s LOVE the idea of socialism.
Venezuela, anybody? guess they don’t read the news
DNC has it rigged from the start.
This is perfect. Let Hilary won by using super delegates. Then the young Bernie supporters will never vote for her.
They don’t read the news and they don’t think they will be the ones paying for expanded Socialism.
Cheyenne and Casper people are playing games with Mrs. Bill. They are wanting her to come to WY to campaign in the fall; so they are trying to get her attention.
She’s not being humiliated. She can win no matter what; she is exempt from all rules and regulations. The American people like Mrs. Bill.
Don’t say you want Mrs. Bill to fail: the American people will come after you if you do.
I guess there are a lot of low information voters who are easily fooled. Her facial expressions and laugh are so phony that it would be funny if it weren't so serious.
