In reply to the discussion: Will Bernie give back delegates to conform to Washington primary vote totals? Clinton 54% [View all]KPN
(15,585 posts)19. Wow???? Really??? Did it count as a primary vote???
No! It didn't count, it wasn't real. It wasn't a real primary vote ... is that better?
You folks are just being absolutely ridiculous in trying to make that case. Sanders won the Washington primary in a landslide. It wasn't even close. If they had held a vote instead of a caucus, Bernie would have won that in the same landslide -- just like he won Oregon.
You have the front-runner, but you're obviously not comfortable with the lead. Why else would you run with idiotic claims like this one?

No, but this incident illustrates perfectly why caucuses should be totally banned starting in 2020.

You are assuming that the WA primary would have the same results if it was binding.
