114. You're throwing everything you can think of at the wall, hoping something will stick.

I said you are suffering from confirmation bias, and my proof was that you bought into the 194 number which was never accurate. It was based on a single source misinterpreting the change of 6 delegates to mean +6 for BS and -6 for HRC. That was incorrect, it was never the case. It was -3 for HRC and +3 for BS.

You did not admit your error, and just went off on 20 tangents about the MSM, and how you think this is all funny and enjoyable. You seem awfully defensive and quick to lash out at people who disagree with you for someone who is "really having a great time".

Reminds me of a boxer who just took a solid shot to the head and feels the need to smile and wave his hands to convince everyone he didn't even feel it... that's when you know he's close to hitting the canvas.
