In reply to the discussion: Sanders' Wins To Date and His Path Forward [View all]Zira
(1,054 posts)on the day of voting. Hillary is losing states she won because her delegates aren't showing up at all to vote in the states 2nd round primaries.
In one state she won, 700 of her delegates didn't show up. In Missouri her delegates didn't show up so Bernie won the state instead.
This is what happened, the early voters voted for Hillary and then changed their minds. Bernie has won the last 10 states when it came to election day vote. Hillary can't make the delegate count now. That's why we're going to a contested election. If Hilalry wins the contested with her unelected super BOUGHT OUT delegates, there will be a mass exodus from the Democratic party and Hillary will not win in November.
Hillary cannot win the GE no matter what. She doesn't have a larger majority than the Republicans if the Republicans unify. Too many independents voters who would vote for sanders won't vote for hillary. And too many had been Dem voters won't. As I said, there will be a mass exodus. There is already an exodus and a few papers have covered it, it's gaining momentum. You can stay and hold down the DNC fort as a unwinnable ever-again minority supporting the .01 percent if you want. I will be re-registering as an independent and not posting here further. No chance I won't leave with the exodus over your super corrupt candidate and dnc voting suppression.

"The questions then start to come faster: why did 700 more Sanders delegates show up to the Clark County (NV) Democratic Convention than Clinton delegates, when Clinton won Nevada on Election Day by 5.5 points? Why did Clinton win nonwhite voters by an average of 70 points in the Deep South, and then start winning them by smaller and smaller margins everywhere else with a current margin of (depending upon the national or state poll) somewhere between zero and 19 points? Why did Secretary Clinton lose Wisconsin, a state any solid front-runner this late in the election season would expect to carry handily as now-President Obama did in 2008 by 13.4 points?
The answer: this isnt 2008. This is the slow-motion collapse of a front-runners campaign.
A 48-point lead in New York is now down to just 10 points two and a half weeks later. Senator Sanders has won seven of the last eight contests, and lest we forget actually won the voting in Arizona on Election Day 52 percent to 48 percent after all the votes had been counted. In other words, hes won the last eight Election Days in a row, and itll be nine on Saturday, when he wins in Wyoming by forty points or more."
