Bernie Sanders bashes Iowa Democratic Party and claims popular vote victory

Manchester, New Hampshire -- Senator Bernie Sanders lambasted the Iowa Democratic Party for its inability to get the results of the Iowa caucuses out quickly, and he claimed victory in the popular vote in the caucuses.

"We are ... in New Hamsphire, today, holding a press conference that should have occurred three nights ago in Des Moines, Iowa, but for the inability of the Iowa Democratic Party to count votes in a timely fashion," he said. "That screwup has been extremely unfair to the people of Iowa. It has been unfair to the candidates, all of the candidates and all of their supporters."

He thanked the people of Iowa "for the very strong victory they gave us in the Iowa caucuses Monday night," even though the results have still not been released in full.

"Our campaign is winning the popular initial vote by some 6,000 votes," he said, adding that in the realignment, he is leading by 2,500 votes. Pete Buttigieg leads in the count of state delegate equivalents (SDEs), which determines how Iowa's delegates will be apportioned in the race for the nomination. But Sanders called the difference separating the two "meaningless" because both Buttigieg and Sanders are likely to receive the same number of national delegates, given the small difference between them in SDEs.

Sanders also called Iowa's caucus "far too complicated."

The best part is, remember, they INVITED him in to be a “sparring partner “ for Hillary. Now they can’t get rid of him.

The laughable, chaotic, incompetent Iowa Democratic Caucus is a microcosm of what the entire USA would be like if the American People were stupid enough to let the Party of Hate and Evil seize control of it.

Fortunately, most Americans are intelligent and benevolent enough to understand this.

Bernie Sanders is an avowed Marxist. He doesn’t give a damn about the Democrat Party. Like every communist he found an institution to exploit, commandeer their resources (money and organization) and indoctrinate its members to the Marxist way of thinking. That’s exactly what Comrade Sanders has done. I’ve been telling that to the Berniebots since 2016, but they think he’s the liberal savior that will save their party. Stupid dumbass puppets!

They (DNC, et al) did their best to screw him in IA with rigged caucuses. He’ll probably win in NH. NV??? Come SC the black vote’s likely to save Plugs. Then Super Tuesday with CA and TX. CA for Bernie and TX for Plugs?? Then, all too soon, comes Milwaukee where the DNC will try to screw Bernie out of the nomination in favor of Bloomturd. If they do Antifa and the Berners will try, actually and literally, to burn down Milwaukee.

Oh, to be the major holder of stock in a popcorn company.

In 1937 Stalin ordered a census. It came up 10 million short. Stalin arrested them and shot them. His second census “found” the missing 10 million.

Bernie:

Your delegates got re-distributed for the common good.

What is your problem, exactly? ;-)

Shouldn’t we be wishing for a Sanders nomination? Talk about “a choice, not an echo!”
