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."

In later years, his former home help nurse will describe how she used to find him, rocking in a rocking chair, saying over and over, "I won that election. I won that election."

Just call it a tie with everyone. Everyone wins and no one loses. Keeping score is mean. That’s the only lib and fair thing to do.

Bourgeois Socialist (BS) is throwing it down. More James Hodgkinsons are waiting in the wings. Check out O’Keefe’s video. You can only fool puppets for so long. Run DNC. While you’re running, read the Communist Manifesto.

Thanks for posting this and reminding us about Schadenboner!

Schadenboner: ...Taking really, REALLY immense delight in the misfortune of some loathesome person-like creature, like Nanzi. It has been "Well beyond garden-variety schadenfreude!!"

It has been a delightful Schadenboner week for Deplorables and President Trump.

Bernie’s ahead on the popular vote; he could still catch Buttigieg in the electoral vote.

He [Bernie] probably did win big. Bernie was supposed to lose and lose. And lose big. Biden was supposed to win and win big. Since Biden did not win and Bernie did win hence, no results. That Bernie is going to get screwed out of the nomination is a given. The only questions remaining to be answered are when and how.

The parallels of the Democrats and the Bolshevicks are becoming more clear every day.If you are a student of history and read about the Russian revolution you know that it was filled with backstabbing power hungry lunatics just like the Democrat party. In the end the most ruthless evil ones came out on top.This is what the liberals don’t understand they are creating a monster that nothing can control.

This man cannot beat Donald Trump. He does not have any semblence of decency. He is a giant phoney.
