so when do we find out if Bernie earned any delegates?

1. I am thinking that delegates will hang back and wait for actual voting and actual debates.

If Bernie wins the vote, but Hillary gets the nom due to delegates, there will be somewhat of an exodus. The callous entitlement will have gone too far and exposed the contempt for the voters. JMO and all that.

2. Do you think appearance will even matter when it gets to that?

The political insiders have been getting pretty bold about ignoring the peasants as of late it seems to me.

8. Yes they have.

I hope they understand that any furtherance down that road, means loss of upcoming voting generations.

I'm personally very upset that my party (The Democratic Party) is looking too much like the GOP.

Bernie Sanders represents my Democratic values better than any Democrat I have seen since Jimmy Carter.

3. but they COULD

announce an endorsement at anytime right?

4. Oh, I think they could, but they know they are not supposed to buck the DNC, IMO.

Looking more and more like the DNC pretended to "bless' Bernie in order to scoop up contributions and disaffected voters who would not have even bothered with the same old corporate choices. But - I don't think that stupid "say hello to President Boogeyman" is going to work so well, this time. A lot of the younger crowd think of most of the candidates as boogeymen, anyway, just different degrees, and different letters on the jerseys. And scolding them? Bwahahaha! They won't even stick around for that. Just like they won't see the jillion dollars worth of TV ads.

6. wait did they scold someone? n/t

9. Personally...

I think most Bernie supporters knew from the get go to donate directly to the Bernie Sanders Campaign.

Most of us knew the DNC didn't give a damn about us. That is why we worked so hard to get Bernie to run.

IMHO.

Go Bernie.

5. Officially not until the first primary.

7. The Iowa caucuses are the first official event, followed by the New Hampshire primary

At least, that's the way it's always been.
