On Politico.com it shows Sanders and Clinton both getting 13 delegates. How then is this a true win for Sanders other than a popular vote?

I don't know which is why I'm asking. Link at source.

Clinton is not gone. She got about as many actual votes as Trump did. It is a long way from over.

You can take it to the bank that NH will go to the Dems in the general. Their loser got about the same number of votes as the Republican winner.

Its all about FAIRNESS..after all, Sanders is a Socialist, he should “share” his delegates because hey that is what is fair..and give a few to Martin O Malley too, yeah he’s no longer in the race but he’s there in spirit

What’s the problem with this? Hillary has already won, but we allow you to vote, don’t we?

It’s one thing in Iowa, where they were neck and neck. But he beat her by over 20 points. What gives?

Then on CNN it shows Kasich getting 16% of the vote so far yet only 3 delegates to Cruz’s 8 and Rubio’s 7. Does that mean Cruz gets the win of the delegates vote and Kasich gets the popular vote.

I hope some news outlet out there can explain all this ‘cause it isn’t making a lot of sense right now.

CNN also shows the even 13 delegates for Sanders and Clinton but then there is a total number and then superdelegates. Sheesh. Could they possibly make it more confusing to understand who actually wins?

Delegate wealth redistribution. Everyone’s a winner. There are no losers.

you forgot about blackmail. I am sure that some of the delegates have been blackmailed.

It has to do with percentages. Ask the NH people to explain it.
