She won NEVADA after all



For all the antics and hi jinks and cheating last night on the part of Bernie Sanders supporters at last night’s Clark County Nevada nominating convention, which involved the police having to sort out squatters and at least on local official having apparently been fired on the spot for her involvement, the fireworks didn’t result in any real change in the delegate count in the state. Despite the shifts in county math, it’s now been confirmed that Hillary Clinton has still won the state of Nevada.

Here’s how the math has broken down. A large number of county delegates, who were designated to vote for Hillary Clinton based on the popular vote, were tricked into not showing up on the correct date so that they could be replaced by Bernie Sanders surrogates (the chairwoman accused of orchestrating this cheating subsequently had an epic meltdown on camera). This did allow these phony replacement “delegates” to cast votes for Sanders. However, even a large number of flipped delegates at the county level only translates to a very small number of flipped delegates at the state level.

Even if last night’s skullduggery isn’t overturned by the court system, as we expect it will, the most the Sanders cheaters managed to eke out was two state delegates. In the larger picture that has almost no mathematical impact on a national race where Clinton is ahead by hundreds of standard delegates, and she’s ahead by an even higher number when superdelegates are included. But more specifically to Nevada, the two delegates in question merely shifted the state from Clinton 20 – Sanders 15, to Clinton 18 – Sanders 17. In other words, Hillary Clinton has still won Nevada. But it’s not over.

Clark County was just one attempt on the part of Sanders and/or his surrogates to rig the delegate count against the will of the voters. Despite the severity of the legal consequences and professional consequences these convention cheaters are facing, this pattern of cheating will likely continue in other counties. But for now at least, Hillary Clinton has still won Nevada despite the apparent felonies committed in Clark County last night.

1. Good news!

Also like someone else said in DU ~they showed their hand!!

[quickesst]

2. Bernie and his supporters....

..... have morphed into the very thing they vowed to change at the beginning of the campaign. For me this is a case of supporters influencing a weak-minded candidate. Bernie Sanders has become a puppet, and he is being controlled by the strings of dishonesty and hate, most of it being aimed at Hillary Clinton.

4. Ironic or a revelation?

I say revelation, They only pretended to be the "good guys"

Truth is, this is what they have been from day one! It has only escalated.

[quickesst]

10. Probably right about that...

...but I do not doubt the sincerity of a lot of his supporters. The problem is their lack of holding those people accountable. They are allowing themselves to be dragged down just as Bernie has, and now it's hard to tell them apart. It's also hard not to lump them all together although I have endeavored to do so. It's almost gotten to the point where it's not worth the time and trouble keeping them separate.

5. You've got that right!

7. Pretty spot on...

It was a 13 hour day yesterday for my wife, baby daughter, and I. They're trooopers, but we saw the whole thing through.

9. Thanks for being such a staunch supporter.

What Bernie may have gained in delegates, he has lost thousands of times over in goodwill.

And no more benefit of any doubt from me personally.

[Stand and Fight]

24. Yep and luckily the state is still Hillary's. :)

20. Thanks S&F. 13 hours s awful. I really wish they would get rid of the caucus

[Stand and Fight]

23. When the primary season started, I was fine with them.

However, thinking back to primaries and when I've caucused before, I have to admit it's always a huge headache. I liked them in the past because it makes it so that regular people -- who likely don't attend local Democratic Party meetings -- have the chance to go to state and national. I've come to realize that many people don't go because they cannot attend for whatever reason -- be it due to disability, work, or some other reason. I think it's better that those who are deeply involved go to conventions from county to state to national since they're more likely to be more informed, passionate, and engaged with the political process. In short, I think caucuses are MOST UNDEMOCRATIC and need to go the way of the dodo bird.
