Oh my.

I suppose it was inevitable, sore winners acting like sore losers.

7. Democratic party at its finest.
 
2/3rds of the people who showed up to caucus statewide were Sanders supporters, so naturally somehow 2/3rds of delegates and superdelegates go to Clinton.

13. K&R
 
But, of course, there was a conspiracy or bernie would have won 110% of the votes.

14. A 56% to 44% win is not a tie, you need to qualify your statement so it is not a lie
 
a True OP headline would read

Sanders wins a decisive 56% to 44% victory but is tied in Delegates due to anomalous caucus rules

but since your post was designed to misrepresent his achievement for propaganda purposes, I can see why you deliberately posted a misleading headline.

16. No, the end result is a TIE in delegates. And delegates will be the only people
 
going to the convention.

Caucus states don't even report numbers of actual voters. The figures you referred to are based on SCD's.

But I'm not one of the proponents of caucuses. I think they're a lousy way to choose a nominee..

24. Each state has rather weird rules
 
At my precinct caucus there were 5 delegates at stake. 28 people showed up. 18 were for Sanders and 10 were for Hillary.

Doing the math that would be 3.2 delegates for Sanders and 1.8 for Clinton. But instead of rounding it off 3 delegates for Bernie Sanders and 2 for Hillary Clinton the rules stated each candidate receive their whole numbers while the remaining delegate was given to the candidate the received the most votes overall. So the outcome was 4 delegates for Bernie Sanders only 1 for Hillary Clinton.

My point is the rules as goofy as they seem cut both ways.

Yeah, they do cut both ways, and the deal is, the worthier candidate's probably been cheated more times than Methuselah has.

34. Actually, Clinton won 11 delegates and Sanders 7, according to the link.
 
Congratulations.

36. That link counts super delegates. Without them it's a tie.

68. Like I said, Bernie won the day ... again

Bernie Sanders won. That rule is a Democrat party rule. Complain to them.

The hillarybots can eat my caucus.  It ain't Seman, it ain't crime, it just a waste of your time.

[franksolich]

That rule is a Democrat party rule.

What the Bernie bullies keep forgetting is that they're--or past Democrats like them--the reason for the creation of superdelegates, professional Democrats for whom the long-term future of the Demcorat party is their main concern, and hence add balance and sanity to the selection of Democrat candidates.

If the Bernie bullies--or past Democrats like them--hadn't been so willfully reckless in their selection of extremists as Democrat candidates who tended to lose elections because of their wanton fringe-ness, superdelegates would've never been necessary.

They got only themselves to blame.

The Democratic Party created the rules.

DU's name is Democratic Underground.

Hey DU Bernibots! Enjoy the monster you helped create:
