Sanders Wins Big Over Clinton In Minn., Claiming Every Congressional District

[UglyGreed]

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – Bernie Sanders didn’t just win Tuesday night, he won big in every Minnesota Congressional district.

Sanders routed Hillary Clinton in a contest that almost everyone thought would be a close one.

Sanders predicted he would do well if the turnout was big, and it was. There were long lines at caucuses across the state. A number of precincts even ran out of ballots, allowing voters to write in their choice on index cards.

Sanders win came despite the fact that every prominent elected official in the state, including the Governor and Sen. Klobuchar, all endorsed Clinton.

1. Lost most states including the biggest states. nt

[UglyGreed]

2. Well if funny things did not happen

in MA then it would of been 6 to 5...............

[Lorien]

4. No, only lost the REDDEST States by any significant margin

you know; those States that your candidate could never, ever possibly win in a general election? Meanwhile, Bernie had decisive wins in Blue and Swing states.

But who cares about winning the war when it's all about winning the primaries for your right wing uber establishment candidate, right? Flush the whole Country just so you can say "team DLC/ DNC won the primaries!! Woowoo! I don't care if Trump is President, 'cause he's a buddy of team DLC/ DNC!" It's all just the Superbowl to some people.

[Marr]

24. They'd rather lose with Clinton than win with Sanders.

The DLC-types, that is. Win with Sanders and they lose control of the party. Lose with Clinton and who cares? It's not like they actually mind seeing right-wing legislation passed.

[daleanime]

38. +1

[2banon]

50. BINGO. It isn't like they mind seeing right-wing laws passed.

But we're stating the obvious. Right? That's precisely why we support Bernie!

[vdogg]

27. He lost Virginia by 30 points

Virginia hasn't been red since Bush.

[malokvale77]

36. Wow, really?

You sound like too many who only pay attention when it comes to the presidential election.

[vdogg]

43. OP said "he only lost the reddest states by a significant margin"

I was pointing out to the OP that he lost Virginia, which hasn't been red for 2 cycles, by 30 points. It was a simple statement of fact.

[malokvale77]

47. You're not looking at state and local levels.

Virginia is red at it's core.

[Gore1FL]

33. That was expected.

What works out well for him is that SC and Super Tuesday are over with his momentum intact and a growing pool of donations.

[Gregorian]

3. This is the first I've heard of turnout. Excellent.

Now I'm getting enthusiastic.

[UglyGreed]

5. Yes one needs to find

such information on the local news never on MSM....

[Optimism]

52. Hey Minnesotans ...

Might be a good time to call the offices of your Superdelegates who have committed to Hillary and ask them if they'd consider NOT going against their constituents wishes and switch now to Bernie! Couldn't hurt!

[thereismore]

6. Great news, thank you. nt

[beam me up scottie]

7. Wow! First I heard of this, thanks!

Appreciate the positive thread.

[Mnpaul]

23. Check out the local buzz

[beam me up scottie]

35. Thanks, that is SO cool!

So many people are still excited, we're not down and out yet.

[Mnpaul]

40. It's everywhere here

Local CBS
http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2016/03/01/bernie-sanders-wins-minnesotas-democratic-caucus/

The DFL party chair said only a handful of precincts ran out of ballots and that, despite the very heavy turnout, voting was orderly.

GALLERY: Minnesota Caucuses Bring Out Droves

The long lines curled into the 14 separate caucuses at St. Paul’s Central High School. Gov. Mark Dayton was among those who braved the lines, filling out his ballot for Clinton, on whose behalf he campaigned.

[madokie]

8. Bernie won all but one county in Oklahoma

OKC was the only one that went for hill

[UglyGreed]

9. Thanks for the info

excellent news!!!!

[Art_from_Ark]

54. Wow-- that is amazing!

[azurnoir]

10. and he won them pretty evenly across the board too

[MisterP]

11. including North Minneapolis

[zentrum]

12. Woo-hoo!

[PatrynXX]

13. Bing didn't even have it as one he'd win

and I'm thinking okay the one state Mondale won in 1984 is going to a reagan clone yeah right sure. ...don't see it happening (I'd just turned 9 when Mondale lost except in one state. MN!!!

[JaneyVee]

14. Hillary did the same in SC.

[malokvale77]

37. Wonderful...

she won in a state that will trounce Democrats in the general.

Do you people even hear yourself?

[AzDar]

15. Go, Bernie GO!!

[litlbilly]

16. Kind of puts those kind of endorsements in their place doesnt it?

[UglyGreed]

17. I mentioned that to my

to wife, it did not seem to impress the folks of MN

[litlbilly]

18. Yep, feeling good about Bernie, I know this is off topic, and dont want to start a new thread

Just want some opinions on this. Leo Decaprio got best actor and he deserved it. In my opinon, best actor/actress award could have gone to everyone in the cast of Spotlight. Am I crazy? You can pm me if you don't want to mess up this thread.

[UglyGreed]

22. I did not see either film yet

but I have always enjoyed Leo's acting. From What's Eating Gilbert Grape, This Boy's Life and Gangs of New York to name a few that comes to mind. IMO he has always performed very well and is a top notch actor.

[litlbilly]

25. Spotlight absolutely deserved best picture IMO

[JonLeibowitz]

28. Agreed. And you are spot on about the actors deserving best actor

The same could be said of some of the Big Short actors too. Having read the Book before watching the film, I really admire Steve Carells work there

[Mnpaul]

59. Not really, they just spin it away

Someone asked Governor Dayton about his endorsement of Hillary and he just said Bernie won because the activists showed up to caucus and that Hillary would have won if it was a primary.

I've lost all respect for this man. I'm not buying his BS anymore either.

[litlbilly]

63. all Bernie needs is the endorsement of us

[Uncle Joe]

19. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, UglyGreed.

[moondust]

20. Well done!

Exemplary!

[Dont call me Shirley]

21. KnR

[Marr]

26. Funny how South Carolina was such a hot topic in the news, but not this. /nt

[sus453]

29. I'm so glad that I'm able to access this information on the Democratic Underground because

everything I read in the mainstream media and listen to on NPR (which annoys me in particular, waking up to hear some talking head) is how Hillary is sewing this up and will Bernie last through March.

[Dustlawyer]

30. Hillary's Donors can be quite persuasive when it comes to endorsing Hillary!

Just ask Chris Mathews and his wife!

[stillwaiting]

31. No computerized voting. Bernie will exceed corporate polling when this is the case. nt

[Chichiri]

32. Bernie came in one delegate behind target.

The demographics very heavily favored him here, so he needed 47 delegates from Minnesota. He got 46.

[malokvale77]

39. Serious? nt

[Chichiri]

42. Yeah. Check FiveThirtyEight.

http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/election-2016/delegate-targets/democrats/

[malokvale77]

46. I don't live by 538.

Nor does anyone I know.

[Adrahil]

61. That's fine, but math doesn't care if you believe it. ;) NT

[Optimism]

53. Wouldn't it be nice ...

... if those Minnesota Super-delegates previously pledged to Hillary would now consider following their constituent's lead! Like in a democracy.

[Chichiri]

55. That's what the at-large delegates are for. nt

[malokvale77]

34. Woo hoo.

Love my home state.

[TheFarS1de]

41. Well done Bernie !

And now we keep pushing forward and getting the voters behind him .

[bvf]

44. Do tell!

Thanks for this--amazing news.

[Android3.14]

45. Slow and steady wins the race

Now I understand. Go Bernie.

[SoapBox]

48. The "Prominent" Elected Elites vs. The People.

Gee, who would have thought that those in cushy positions would be behind her.

Go People!

[Spitfire of ATJ]

49. "...every prominent elected official in the state,...endorsed Clinton."...

[senz]

58. They've been uglier than usual since Super Tuesday.

Something's really, really bugging them...

[senz]

62. Excellent advice for us all, cyberpj.

I'll try to keep it in mind.

[ConsiderThis_2016]

51. Sanders +1 / Cronyism 0

Cronyism

[Owl]

57. I'm proud of Minnesota!
