"No recent polls, but this is Cheney Country so Sanders will probably win more than half the delegates".

Clinton won most of the delegates in Texas, but it was Cruz country.

Clinton won most of the delegates in Alabama, but that is George Wallace country.

See, two can play this pernicious game.

Funny thing about those delegates, regardless of what states they hail from, their votes all count the same at the convention. In politics only losers use excuses, and there have been a ton of excuses from Sanders supporters lately.

checking Cruz out. Cruz said he told the Bernie supporter he agrees with Bernie about income inequality, but they differ on how to handle it. So it is true as has been reported for some time that there is overlap with Bernie supporters and GOP candidates (mostly Trump, but now Cruz). The OP was right to say that given what has been reported for some time now.

The sad part is that anyone would believe Cruz and that the GOP will help them. There's currently a GOP governer who doesn't care if his constituents drink poisoned water. Those guys sure aren't going to care about giving away free college.

Plus it's a caucus state. He should do well there, as he did in all the other caucus states with few African American voters.

When Hillary was winning in the South, people like you constantly discounted her wins, saying they didn't count because they were in "red" states.

Well, Bernie's got the same situation going on in Cheney country.
