Just how does he have this "lead"? Looking at RealClearPolitics, Biden has more votes AND both Buttboy and Biden have the same number of projected delegates. See: https://www.realclearpolitics.com/

Hey, this is a Democrat election. There are more ballots in the Chevy Volt over there and that janitor's closet. And, oh yeah, I forgot I took some ballots home with me last night. We're Democrats! Keep counting. Let every "vote" count!

Well, until our candidae wins . . .

Rather similar to teachers helping students cheat on tests.

The faulty app is a cover story.

Polling stations were sending in their tally. The people behind the scene were using the app to manipulate the numbers to get the results they wanted.

The reason it's taking so long to get the count is because they're trying to reconcile the actual numbers reported by poll workers with the manipulated count on the app.

Wouldn't need a cover story if they just quit cheating.

Yeah, to put lipstick on it they do the patented Clinton coin flip. Heads mayor cheat wins, tails Bernie loses.

The lipstick thing? Is that like lipstick on a pig and trying to pass it off as a prom queen? Because it still smells, it can’t dance, and reminds the date of Hillary. Then the lipstick covered pig drinks all the spiked punch and is hauled off in a van. Ole Bernie gets to stand there with his Johnson in his hand and wave goodbye.

They are screwing Bernie right out in the open.

Look, I do not want a communist in the White House. But right now, I’m very close to joining the Burn It All Down Party, so I prefer Bernie to any other Democrat.

with 29% of the vote outstanding the guy with less than 27% thinks he won

Well, the 30% "winner" is a big problem with the switch from control by party leaders to the "democracy" of primaries.

It is seen as fair, and it kind of is fair, for 50.1% to beat 49.9% in a two-candidate final race to gain a seat that can only be held by one person.

In a multi-candidate race, a plurality winner is OK as long as all the candidates are on the same page.

But if 30% want, let's say, Mitt Romney and 70% do not, making the hypothetical Mitt Romney the "winner" doesn't advance democracy, it frustrates it.

If we are going to use idiots voting to select candidates for the Presidency, at least separate the delegate selection form the horse race. Get 30% of the votes, get 30% of the delegates, the guys wh "lost" get the other 70%.

Be careful.

NH had an open primary in 2008 (more or less, you could switch on primary day) and I voted for Obama because I thought he was the only one who couldn’t win.

Bernie Sanders, if he lives until November, and especially if he runs with Tulsi Gabbard, could ABSOLUTELY be elected.

I’m not saying that’s probable, and if you were betting money, I’d bet against it - but it very well could happen.

One of the messages of Obama-Obama-Trump is that ordinary people do not like the approved party leaders very much.

Bernie leads in raw votes counted and that will be a sore spot for Bernie followers that Buttgieg can’t overcome

Perhaps but they’ll need Bernie’s voters for downticket candidates in areas where it is close, even with the expected vote fraud. His voters are as glued to Bernie hydrogen is to oxygen in water; something majorly electrifying would have to happen to split them all apart.
