Sanders wins most delegates at Clark County convention
http://lasvegassun.com/news/2016/apr/02/sanders-wins-most-delegates-at-clark-county-conven/

The county convention was the second in a three-step process for Nevada to choose its delegates to send to the Democratic National Convention this summer. The first was the February caucuses, the results of which are used to apportion 23 of the delegates Nevada will send to the national convention. The second step, the county convention, is when delegates are selected to the state convention in May. The third step is the state convention, when 12 more delegates are apportioned based on attendees’ preferences.

Highlight:

There was no justification for any hardline tactics in support of HRC at the NV Dem convention. [View all] Ken Burch May 2016 OP

False. "Everyone gets a trophy" doesn't apply to delegate math. That's not how the real world works. Kang Colby May 2016 #1

There was no justification for ruling against the Sanders side on floor votes Ken Burch May 2016 #4

Why do you say that? Do you believe it's true? Kang Colby May 2016 #8

The Sander supporters WERE registered Dems...they had not changed their registrations. Ken Burch May 2016 #17

So the Sanders' reps on the Credential Committee were in cahoots LiberalFighter May 2016 #23

The Sander's reps who were denied admittance and couldn't get past the armed guards? Those reps? Vincardog May 2016 #45

I agree, and the rules were followed. n/t Kang Colby May 2016 #29

Please cite line and verse where there was a deviation from party rules. Kang Colby May 2016 #32

I'll link you to someone who knows better than you Ash_F May 2016 #34

That's not specific. You can't offer a floor motion if you are ineligible. I'm not going to explain Kang Colby May 2016 #38

I will take the congressman's account over random internet poster. Thank you Ash_F May 2016 #39

Why? Google the rules or ask a Nevada party official to provide you with the handbook. Kang Colby May 2016 #41

When you give a floor vote, there has to be a clear majority Ash_F May 2016 #43

You can't vote on floor motions if you are ineligible. n/t Kang Colby May 2016 #71

Everyone in the room was "deemed" eligible Ash_F May 2016 #75

"Everyone gets a trophy" is more right-wing language. frylock May 2016 #82

I just don't see why the Clinton campaign would do that.... Txbluedog May 2016 #2

Of course Clinton wouldn't. She has to be pure as snow called, accused on everything. Real or not. N seabeyond May 2016 #14

hahahahahahahahahahaha! grasswire May 2016 #47

That's exactly what happend. They had the nerve to try and change the rules on the fly via a floor Kang Colby May 2016 #40

It's worth it for them to establish the principal of literally dictatorship in the Democratic Party Cheese Sandwich May 2016 #7

Dictatorship involves breaking the rules. LiberalFighter May 2016 #26

No it doesn't. Dictators love rules. Cheese Sandwich May 2016 #36

No, you won't. NuclearDem May 2016 #19

Ever the victim. NuclearDem May 2016 #11

There was protest, not a riot, and the protest happened only after provocation, Ken Burch May 2016 #15

No, it was a riot. NuclearDem May 2016 #20

Put up video of a 'riot or quit your smears. n/t JimDandy May 2016 #35

Wah! Did someone beat Hillary to the victim status? nt grasswire May 2016 #51

But it is worth stating for a fact those registrations were flipped when you damn well do not know! seabeyond May 2016 #12

Those people had all registered as Democrats for the caucuses. NONE had changed their registrations Ken Burch May 2016 #16

We had one state he did saying he hadnt realized he need to be registered Dem for this. seabeyond May 2016 #21

You're categorically wrong about that. Codeine May 2016 #78

Nobody "flipped"any voter registrations. They weren't Democrats, and they got caught. ucrdem May 2016 #18

They were registered voters from Nevada. There was nothing illicit going on. Ken Burch May 2016 #22

Were they registered Democrats? No. Who were they then? Who recruited them how? ucrdem May 2016 #25

They were elected delegates. You're making it sound like some sort of conspiracy was afoot. Ken Burch May 2016 #33

Nobody "recruited" them. They were registered voters(registered Dems)who support Bernie Ken Burch May 2016 #54

They were there because they were delegates AgingAmerican May 2016 #57

But they weren't Democrats. That's cheating. And they got caught. nt ucrdem May 2016 #68

Have you asked Alex Jones? frylock May 2016 #83

The HRC supporters know the truth, but they sadoldgirl May 2016 #28
