4. Delegates do matter

MSNBC should be reporting that Bernie has 46% of the delegates.

But his vote share was initially 35%. Thats a far cry from 50% of the vote. But you wouldn’t know it by watching MSNBC right now.

And these are the same vote totals Bernie wanted Iowa to report. So it should be uniform.

because that's what decides the nomination.

I'm sure they'll talk about the popular vote too, but not even half the votes are even in yet.

Bernie clearly won the most of those today, and Biden will likely be the only other one to get delegates out of Nevada.

he also ended up with about half the delegates. So his support this time was about the same.
