Did CNN just say that Bernie flipped Missouri?

[NWCorona]

There was news that this might happen but I haven't seen anything official. Now I got a few texts saying that CNN say that he took MO.

I don't have cable so can anyone confirm?

1. Was Missouri a primary?

[Punkingal]

3. yes.

[elleng]

2. Just found this:

It appears that Sanders ended up with more county delegates than Hillary because her delegates did not show up again. This is the only proof i have so far.

Edit: Still no confirmation but I found this and it looks good for us: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1S9OvnGBIFEdaXx7tGL6tdRAH1qX02IJQtnOD1blpMpY/htmlview?pli=1
According to the Missouri for Sanders Facebook page, people who caucused for him are saying that he won.There should be official confirmation sometimes soon so don't get too excited just yet.
Edit: To clarify, yes Missouri was a primary but the party changed the rules in the last second so what happened was that the delegates held a caucus, and it appears that Bernie won. http://www.abc17news.com/news/midmissouri-democrats-hold-caucus/38924846

6. Also just saw that.

This was a very close primary as well .02%.

But still Hilary won the vote in the state, this whole thing is getting very frustrating to me.

16. She may well have won the raw vote, but delegates tend to be awarded

at a lower level... i.e., getting a landslide in one area and crickets in another can put you in a situation where you have more votes but fewer delegates.

17. Thanks.

34. I think WA has 3 steps until we go to the National convention.

I am guessing there is a precinct, a local and then a state caucus step...then onto the National convention.

I work for myself, so I am planning on going all the way if I can.

[NWCorona]

19. Thanks for those links!

[wilsonbooks]

21. Missouri is a mixed bag. First a primary, then a caucus.

[elleng]

22. Right, perfect for confusion

and propaganda.

[Trajan]

4. If they did say it ...

It was through tightly clenched teeth ...

[haikugal]

26. Ha!

[tex-wyo-dem]

5. I haven't seen anything yet, but...

MO was a very very close contest, so it wouldn't surprise me.

7. Didn't catch CNN but noticed this post today. So here's to Missouri:)

9. Thanks! I didn't catch that thread!

8. Based on my ameteur research, I don't think Bernie can flip Missouri.

They had a "binding" primary. The delegate numbers were set on primary day. Wikipedia has it at 36-35 for Hillary.

There were county & city conventions yesterday across Missouri, and what is circulating today is a tally sheet of the number of delegates for Hillary and Bernie coming out of those conventions, and Bernie appears ahead on that count. And even though those numbers are probably correct, they are likely deceptive, since these delegates will then go to their respective districts, which then will send delegates to state. It's quite possible that some districts for various quirky reasons may have more delegates in total at their conventions than in other districts. If that's the case, then the raw delegate count could show Bernie "ahead". But in reality, when they go to their district and state conventions, it will still boil down to 36 for Hillary and 35 delegates for Bernie.

10. The only way Bernie can win is to overturn the will of the voters

[NWCorona]

11. How is it Bernie's fault if Hillary delegates don't do the one job they have?

Hillary better get on point.

[Cali_Democrat]

14. Regardless of how it happens, the results aren't reflecting the will of the voters....

and now Bernie's campaign openly admits they can't win the nomination at the ballot box via voters and pledged delegates so they will try to turn the super delegates against Hillary.

Bernie's campaign isn't interested in the will of the voters.

They're only interested in getting power.

But they will be denied.

[dubyadiprecession]

20. True, BS is 2.5 million votes behind. Facts are facts, not lies.

[TheBlackAdder]

23. Gee, that almost sounds like Superdelegates signing loyalty oaths (pre-purchased) before primaries.

[NWCorona]

25. I can say the same about team Hillary

Until you have actual instances of Bernie flipping pledged delegates I'll hold my breath.

[morningfog]

30. Well, that's a hot mess of non-truth.

This is the process, right?

Can't change the rules midstream, right?

Bernie has to play by the rules of the Democratic Party, right?

If Hillary's people are so unmotivated to not show, that's on her, not Bernie.

As for super delegates, neither candidate has a chance of securing enough delegates to win the nomination without super delegates. Supers are not bound to vote any particular way. In other words, the supers will decide who the nominee is one way or the other. Save your feigned righteous indignation.

33. It's all about the delegates. Votes don't matter. You know that.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

13. One of the consequences of posting so many lies

is that everyone will assume you're a liar all the time.

Case in point: I believe nothing you say.

[sadoldgirl]

18. What is wrong with the HRC campaign,

that they cannot make sure that their delegates
show up? It should be easy, because she has such
a large organization.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

28. her supporters failing to show up is not Bernie subverting the vote

No matter how many times you try to say it is

[Joe the Revelator]

31. This is some next level sour grapes. Hillary needs to get her campaign in check

and turn out her delegates. The rules haven't changed.

[winter is coming]

12. I'm not sure that's the correct way to state it, as it's not a matter of what Bernie did.

Apparently, some Hillary delegates didn't show up. Again.

[NorthCarolina]

15. Did they in fact just not show up, or did they possibly change their alegiance? nt

[Hydra]

29. Even if they just aren't feeling the Hillary Campaign anymore, it's movement

And Team Hill has made a massive blunder in assuming that they could sail along with what they had before.

"We're going into GE mode!"

Uhhh...you may want to keep people engaged for more than a few minutes. Just sayin'.

[riderinthestorm]

27. !!!!!

Wow!! Yay Bernie!

[Major Hogwash]

32. Yup.

This is how it happens when people don't live up to their commitments and fail to show up!!
