Bernie Sanders Won The Nevada Caucus On Saturday, And Here’s How

[tabasco]

Bernie Sanders has won the Clark County Democratic Convention, which was held at the Cashman Center on Saturday. Thousands of supporters showed up to support their chosen candidate.

This win means that Bernie Sanders has won the Nevada caucus election. The Vermont Senator and Democratic presidential candidate is likely to receive more pledged delegates from Nevada than was initially anticipated after Hillary Clinton won the state’s first round of caucusing back in February.

Only 23 of the state’s 35 pledged delegates are bound to the results of the caucuses that happened in February. The remaining 12 delegates will be given out proportionately in May, based on how many delegates show up who were selected on Saturday, during the Nevada’s final convention. Sanders’ campaign manager, Jeff Weaver, says that the results of the convention should net four pledged delegates more than Clinton.

Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver says Sanders netted four Nevada delegates over Clinton from today's county conventions.

1. So was 1-3 more delegates with the image hit that Sanders is taking?

Thwarting the will of the voters for that few delegates? Was it worth it?

[reformist2]

3. Hillary's supporters "thwarted" themselves by not showing up.

It was their will - or lack of will - that changed the outcome.

[Tarc]

6. The messages they received to show up on a different day might have something to do with that

[JaneyVee]

8. Now Hillary supporters have to show up twice?

Another reason caucuses are ridiculous and should end.

[jeff47]

12. Sanders supporters did show up twice.

It was not only Clinton supporters who had to show up.

And yes, caucuses are anachronisms.

2. By stealing a couple delegates. My guess is he's gonna lose more superdelegates than just that

due to his increasingly dishonest tactics.

[dchill]

4. Yep. Showing up = dishonest.

Not showing up = honest.

[DanTex]

5. Like I said, supers are watching, and they see when the democratic will has been thwarted.

I think this stunt will end up costing Bernie more than he's gained from it.

7. LOL

I see you didn't let the facts get in your way when you posted this.

9. the supers have been

bought already by her donations. They will be leaving soon. You too, are witnessing another Clinton crumble. Face it, stop deflecting, she is a terrible candidate who inspires only those she already had.

[DanTex]

10. LOL. Sorry, supers aren't 19-year-olds with orange suspenders and handlebar mustaches.

[timmymoff]

11. No, they are the corporate dems

the ones willing to sell working class people down the road for some contributions. The whole problem with the party platform to cozy with Wall St. Like St. Hillary of the Wall St. Trough.

[DanTex]

13. They're Democratic Dems. You know, people who have been fighting for progressive causes all their

lives. And if Bernie wants their support, I would recommend that he stop the dirty campaigning.

[timmymoff]

16. what you going to vote for Trump?

Are you secretly admitting what we knew all along, sanders is the better candidate? How has the narrative changed from if he wants our support is this a hint of PUMA 2.0? LOL, you triangulate as much as your weak candidate. Sometime you can explain to me when polluting people's water became a dem issue (fracking). You need to explain to me how supporting keystone then flip flopping is a dem principle. You have to tell me how giving in on minimum wage when two of the largest states are adopting the sanders platform of $15 is democratic. You've been sold a bar of soap, not a president. especially not a democratic president.

[DanTex]

17. I'm voting Hillary in the primary, and D in November. You?

[timmymoff]

18. I already voted Bernie

and am now interested in taking over the local democratic party to a more Sander's related platform. The platform that kicked her ass by 5000 vote in my county. If she sins she will get my vote, nothing more.

[jeff47]

14. The supers are watching Clinton supporters being so unenthusiastic

that they did not bother to show up to finish the job.

[beedle]

15. Are you being ironic?

The supers are watching and are upset over how the democratic will of the people is being thwarted?

The direct thwarters of democracy are pissed that Hillary delegates thwarted their own democratic vote and will take steps to rectify democracy by using their undemocratic powers to punish the wrong person?
