20. It was the Democratic Party that screwed up not Sanders

The D.C. Democratic Party was required file to the D.C. Board of Elections by March 16, but submitted the registration paperwork for Sanders a day late.

Both Sanders and front-runner Hillary Clinton submitted their registration fees of $2,500 on time.

When mistakes hurt both candidates, I'll consider them honest mistakes. jeff47 Mar 2016 #32
Bernie Sanders will be on the DC ballot and will suffer zero harm. geek tragedy Mar 2016 #33
So point me to the same sort of mistakes by the party that affected Clinton. jeff47 Mar 2016 #34
this won't affect Sanders, he'll be on the ballot. geek tragedy Mar 2016 #35
And it's yet another "mistake" that only affects him. jeff47 Mar 2016 #36
no, it doesn't affect him, he won't be left off the ballot. geek tragedy Mar 2016 #38

Nope, just when hypocrisy is soooo obvious. revbones Mar 2016 #28
