81 net delegates for Hillary!

[nolawarlock]

According to NYT, and excluding Connecticut because they haven't assigned delegates there, Hillary's coming out of tonight so far with 81 net delegates, pushing her lead over Sanders to nearly insurmountable levels.

1. Nearly insurmountable? LOL.

Over.

[nolawarlock]

5. I was trying to be kind.

[seabeyond]

6. True. It is done. Nt

[Ed Suspicious]

2. You people have been calling her lead insurmountable for months now. It really is this time?

[stonecutter357]

7. idiots? umadbro.

[seabeyond]

8. ok. How about .... Clinton wins!!!! Our Democratic candidate for 2016.

[Joe the Revelator]

15. Our Candidate for 2016!

Fixed that for you.

[seabeyond]

16. There are always gonna be the sore losers. That is just our reality we have to endure.

[Joe the Revelator]

18. I'm not sore at all. Sad? Sure. It's sad to see the death of a party I loved. nt

[Adrahil]

11. Well, it has been.

It was over after Super Tuesday, it's just that the Sandernistas have refused to recognize reality.

[Renew Deal]

36. It was last October or November

[Renew Deal]

34. Has it been surmounted?

[stonecutter357]

3. K&R!

[highprincipleswork]

4. Nearly insurmountable?

[nolawarlock]

9. I was trying to give Bernie fans a little sliver of hope.

So yeah, it's probably more like sprinting up Mount Everest in a bathing suit insurmountable.

[morningfog]

10. So surmountable?

[Adrahil]

14. So......

[nolawarlock]

23. I was trying to offer a vague glimmer of hope.

I know that's usually all it takes to make some folks happy.

[morningfog]

12. If true, Hillary's lead will be back to where it was

before she lost 7 in a row.

[nolawarlock]

13. I think it might actually be higher, but I'll wait to see how it shakes out.

Either way, she's berning rubber now!

[Adrahil]

17. Lol....

Not exactly where Bernie wants to be when he needs to be winning 58% of the remaining delegates.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

19. Except there are so many few delegates left on the board.

It's the difference between a basketball team being down by fifteen with ten minutes to go and a basketball team being down by fifteen with two and one half minutes to go.

[morningfog]

20. Yep. Not the kind of ground to lose at this point.

I gin think he'll do well between now and June 7, but not well enough to erase tonight and NY.

[cwydro]

21. I'm confused, because I thought I saw posts from you PRO Bernie at one time.

I'm sure I did.

[nolawarlock]

22. Are you serious?

When? I've only been here for about six weeks. I have said that I will vote for him if he's the nominee. I'm not sure I'd call that "PRO Bernie" but I'll just add that to the long list of insults I've had thrown at me lately.

[cwydro]

24. Ah, perhaps I confused you with another poster.

Certainly did not mean to insult you.

I have friends who are Bernie supporters, and I'm not sure how that is taken as an insult. How is mistaking you for a Bernie supporter an insult? Care to explain?

Oh, ok, you're right that you've only been a member for 6 weeks, but I see you've racked up an impressive six hides in that amount of time. Your sig line really doesn't work for unity either, does it?

I'm a Hillary supporter, but this negative nastiness on both sides needs to end.

[nolawarlock]

25. The only thing impressive about those hides ...

... is that it proves how rigged the system was. When I think of the things I've said in my day, and I got hidden for absolutely ridiculous things that weren't even true, such as saying that we shouldn't post Fox News links and being hidden because that questioned a long-time DU'ers reputation. I am proud of those hides because they prove how ridiculously rigged the system actually is. That the site is 80% Bernie supporters and they can use that balance to rig every jury alert doesn't prove their rightness. It only proves their abusiveness. There was maybe ONE hide that was for what was obviously a joke that I could justify. Certainly not the other six.

Had I not gotten alert-stalked the way that I did, I might have a nicer sig file, but I see no reason to be all bunnies and rainbows when I'm dealing with lions and tigers. This site should have admins that hides can be appealed to. If it did (and it doesn't), then people would be less likely to abuse the system.

I take it as an insult because I've been insulted so many times in the last few weeks, called paid troll, lurker, newbie (in a negative way), loser, slow, stupid, and everything else, that I just assumed if a person called me that, it must be meant as an insult.

And mind you, not a one of these insults has been hidden and I haven't said a thing even approaching that level of vitriol. So please, sell the hypocrisy somewhere else.

[cwydro]

29. Some of us are able to post for 10, 11 years and more without getting hides.

It's really not that hard to be civil. We CAN disagree without being disagreeable.

Anyone who has a billboard in their sig advertising STD cures and relating that to Bernie is not someone I believe has any interest in being civil.

So YOU go sell that hypocrisy somewhere else. Smh.

[nolawarlock]

30. Whatever

I was alert stalked. Period. And since I was, I read the stories of many other people who were alert stalked as well. Most of those hides had absolutely no reason for them, hence my sig file.

[cwydro]

37. So neener neener, if you do it first, I'll do it back. Is that how you think?

How old are you anyway?

You are acting just exactly like those you complain about.

I'm a Hillary supporter, and I DO NOT want to be associated with those who want to gloat or dance or act rudely to the other candidate's supporters.

[nolawarlock]

39. Are you just going to follow me around?

Is this your way of asking me for my number? LOL

[cwydro]

43. Sorry dearie, we are responding in the same thread. I'm not following you.

I can see from your tenure here and your transparency page (not to mention your unfortunate sig line), that there's really not much point in engaging with you.

Your answers invariably follow the same route..."The Bernie people did it FIRST, wah!"

So I'll stop bumping your gloating thread, and you go have fun making enemies of the Bernie folks. Most of them are posters I've known on DU for years, and we can see through you.

[nolawarlock]

44. Right.

You can all see that I'm a paid troll, right? God, if you only had the smallest inkling of how ridiculous that suggestion actually is.

[nolawarlock]

45. And it's not that Bernie people did it first.

It's that they're still abusing this jury system every day and clearly nobody cares which is probably why I won't stay here.

And that's fine, because quite honestly, I'm not changing anyone's minds here and while my fans would probably prefer I just shut up and sing (so to speak—I don't actually sing, at least not for a living), I can actually sway a lot more votes on Facebook.

[cwydro]

48. My final response to you:

I seriously doubt you could sway anyone's votes anywhere if you act the same way you do on this board.

If you have a problem with the jury system, take it to the admins.

You've been here just over a month and think you know better than everyone how DU should be. Primary season is always hairy here, but your input is not helping. Many of us have been through this before.

The admins will adjust as the season moves on and the GE comes into focus. I don't usually knock newbies, but you got a lot of nerve coming in as one and trying to tell everyone how everything should be. Go start your own board.

Now trashing thread. Good night again, Mr. No.

[nolawarlock]

50. Oh you have no idea what I can sway.

I am by no means what one would call a real celebrity, but I have been in nearly every newspaper in the world at one point or another. My public reputation is quite aggressive, to put it kindly, but I have lots of fans who listen to what I say because I call it like I see it, and that jury system is broken. So the day I am not speaking here, I'm speaking to a much broader base of people.

I remember the 2008 Primary season here because I used to read it religiously then. And it was NOT this hideous. It just wasn't.

Either way, my sig file goes down when my face goes up.

[nolawarlock]

31. And I love you think the STD billboard was the worst one. LOL nt

[cwydro]

40. I didn't think it was the worst one, nor did I say that. Did I?

I'm pretty sure I know why you're on this board.

You're not fooling anyone.

[nolawarlock]

41. LOL!

So you're going to call me a paid shill as well? That's rich. I made it crystal clear why I finally decided to post here, and it was actually a failure of anyone to actually address why that Vatican visit was such an egregious and concerning incident. But if you want to believe I'm paid, by all means, I can't stop you. If this site actually had admins that came here, they could validate that I am not a paid shill in under a minute. Heck, anyone with half a brain could really.

[nolawarlock]

27. Hillary supporters of all people ...

... should know how flawed and abused the jury system is. I managed to figure it out in six weeks. You've been here for eleven years. You must have seen this. It would be one thing if I didn't see things that were a thousand times more acerbic and nasty being alerted on and voted to stay because it was said by a Bernie supporter, but that is a fact. I don't care if I got a hundred hides in two days if they don't mean anything.

[cwydro]

35. I've been attacked by Bernie supporters too.

Those that do that are in the minority. I choose not to respond in kind.

You sound like you need to step away from the computer if you take a message board this seriously. I saw your whinging in the HRC group about your hide. You're taking things just as seriously and bitterly as those you complain about.

" It would be one thing if I didn't see things that were a thousand times more acerbic and nasty being alerted on and voted to stay because it was said by a Bernie supporter, but that is a fact." Lol, this is nothing more than "He did it first!" Just stop it.

Do you think Hillary would like your sig line?

[nolawarlock]

38. Whatevs ...

Yet they're all crying foul over Facebook report bombs? What, pray tell, is the difference?

The ones who are voting to hide anything and everything are not in the minority. If you saw my so-called whining in the Hillary group then you already know how unjust the hide was that I posted. Since it wasn't hide-worthy, the only other explanation is that Hillary supporters are being silenced here.

It isn't whether someone did it first. It's that they're able to act this way and there's no oversight. And the worst part was it happened after I donated $100 to the site for a Star membership which the admin thankfully gave me back.

I don't care whether Hillary would like my sig line. Once she officially becomes the nominee, I will happily take it down.

I don't know what's worse, the constant accusations that I'm a paid troll or you telling me I should just be happy with it. Mind you, it's hardly upsetting me that much. I will always find a way to find fun in whatever adversity is thrown at me.

[cwydro]

46. Many in that thread in the HRC group tried gently to tell you that whining about a hide

is simply not helpful. Not to mention meta.

In no way did I call you a paid shill. Can you point out where I did that? You've made numerous allegations that are simply not true.

Again, you start your post with "Wah! They did it first!" You seem to hate Bernie supporters and Bernie with an all-consuming hatred that is really quite disturbing.

Can you not see what you type? Lord, I've had more productive conversations with my goose.

You have a nice night now, Mr. No.

[nolawarlock]

47. I have been outright called a paid shill for days ...

... so for you to say otherwise is ridiculous. Moreover, you made the implication by saying "we know why you're here." I am here for the reasons I stated. It's not about who did it first. It's about who keeps doing it and it makes the site impossible to use when you can't talk for days on end because people make bogus reports on things that aren't relevant.

And moreover, if I hated Bernie with an all-consuming hatred, I certainly wouldn't have said this board, as I have said numerous times, that I will be voting for him in November if he's the nominee. I have friends who are passionate Bernie supporters but they aren't rude about it the way people on here are. if you think being called a paid shill every time minutes is polite, then I'd hate to be in your friendship circle.

[nolawarlock]

49. Oh, and many others that HRC group thread said that they had been alert stalked too ...

... in fact the majority. There were maybe two people if I recall who said otherwise.

Either way, the day my sig file images go down is the day that they're replaced with pictures of me, which I am sure would qualify as an since, ultimately, I am the product I sell, but at least it would put to rest this ridiculousness about me being a paid shill for Hillary.

[workinclasszero]

26. Wow!

Hillary is now the presumptive nominee...and the next President!

[nolawarlock]

28. Yep!

[Renew Deal]

32. Nearly? She's up by over 800 delegates.

[nolawarlock]

33. I was trying to be kind about it.

[Demsrule86]

42. Great night for Hillary

You go girl.

[k8conant]

51. get gone, girl

[Walk away]

52. So much for Bernie's "narrow path to victory".

[Number23]

53. The wailing and hiney hurt in this thread is fairly epic.

[LiberalFighter]

54. The net delegates for Hillary will not be more than about 60.

The NYT is calculating all delegates based on current results and on all pledged delegates.

Delegates are allocated at the district and state level.

Currently, Hillary has a net of 32 delegates. It will likely be at least 55 but not more than 65.

[nolawarlock]

55. Ah.

Well either way, more's more.

[LiberalFighter]

56. Yes it is. The advantage is going up.

Currently she needs less than 12% of the remaining 1,275 delegates.

To reach the majority of pledged delegates she needs less than 38% of the remaining 1,084 delegates.
