Hey, Sanders kids, relax. The fix is in.
Politico reports the delegate count arising out of the New Hampshire vote.
Among the 712 superdelegates, Hillary had a 45 to 1 margin a few months ago, in the 80% that the Associated Press was able to reach to survey.

It makes you wonder what it must feel like to be a democRAT.
How does one vote for their chosen candidate, who receives 60% of the popular vote and as a result gets fewer delegates in a proportional contest?
Why have an election at all?
Bernie’s condescension is painful to listen to as well.
2000 Redux, Gore won the popular vote but lost in the Electoral College.
Superdelegates make up one-fifth of the delegates at the Democratic National Convention. So, 747 of the 5,083 delegates attending the 2016 Democratic National Convention can choose whichever candidate they prefer.
Out of 2,470 total delegates at the Republican National Convention in 2016, 437 are unpledged delegates, who play the same role as superdelegates. Of the 437, 168 are members of the Republican National Committee
The Demonicrats needed some insignificant competitor, from an insignificant state, who was older than rocks and so far in left field that he would make Satan's daughter look like a spring chicken member of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
But they failed to take into account the total lunacy of their younger Demonicrats and the Common-Core-flatlined mentality of liberal-leaning independents. And, as they discovered, even the appearance of Monica's ex-boyfriend was not enough to bring the straight leftist females (or queer leftist males) to their knees.
So now the Demonicrats will have to resort to their usual tactics of lies, bribery, threats, extortion, and cheating to erect the facade that HilLIARy won the Demonicrat nomination fair and square.
No, you’re not alone. Sanders winning the nomination is a chilling thought...and then what?!
At least flipping burgers is working...

What happens to delegates when a candidate drops out? Can he/she endorse another candidate and have the delegates automatically drop into their tally?
Seems I remember an instance where one delegate refused to vote for the candidate that clearly won her precinct (it was Bush, and I don't know how it turned out). Delegates must have the ability to change their votes at the convention if it's deadlocked, right?
Just imagine if Clinton drops out, Biden jumps in, and suddenly he has all of Clinton's delegates. Possible? Kinda makes state primaries pretty useless...
Strange that none of the media outlets I’ve seen are covering this...
And you won’t. The Dems would lose the youth vote for a decade if the Leftist media announced an 82-18 result for Bernie in the under-30 vote still ending with a 15-13 delegate finish for Hillary.... which is why I’m posting it all over the place, LOL
Thanks for doing so. That’s why I read FR before even watching the news or listening to Rush. We put out the truth. They to a large degree read clippings, or follow an agenda. Rush to a degree excluded as he lost me with his semi Rubio backing
I have been saying for weeks that the crowds showing up for Bernie should be of more concern than any republican internal rivals. This election will not be won with the standard GOP line of lower tax less government promises.
Someone has to promise America for Americans first. 750 Million ObamaCare dollars to illegals, nothing for vets last year.
We need to unite with the right message, or Jeb is going to rise from the ashes like the fabled Phoenix. The open borders candidates have no chance in an honest election but the way the GOPe has rigged the process will make it easy to undo a popular candidate.
In thi bizzarro election 16>35<11
“Not very democratic”
Yes. It needs to be explained to these Sanders Millennials, like Hayek did: those who advocate and win power and control will NOT relinquish it back to the people by democratic means.
I must defend the “flipping hamburgers” option. A young person, even in high school, who starts working at McDonalds flipping burgers and stays with the company, they could be promoted rapidly if they are a good worker. They are sent to Hamburger University (don’t laugh) and earn a very good living as a manager. The media has brainwashed us all by using “flipping burgers” in a derrogatory way.
Every Republican candidate should be congratulating Hillary on her “win” in New Hampshire. Then when the reporters ask how they figure Hillary won New Hampshire they point out the delegate count.
They can really rub this in by repeating it over and over—”we know we will have to run against Hillary because no matter how Democratic primary voters vote Hillary will win the nomination”. Rub salt in the wounds. Play the long game. Win the general election.
Marked cards and loaded dice.
The Democrat establishment seems to have a a Hillary right-or-wrong approach and they probably will get her as the nominee, but by that time she may be so bruised that she can’t win in November.
“Devil’s luck”
“What’s not to like about free health care, free education and making $30k a year flipping hamburgers ...”
Uh, the fact that those burgers would have to cost $25.00 each and be made from ground cardboard? Of course that conclusion assumes a certain amount of critical thinking ability, which of course is no longer possible amongst the recently “educated”, who walk around imprisoned in a rose-fogged virtual reality never-land injected by the Marxist factories posing as colleges and universities that they attended and paid for with large sums of borrowed money that can never be paid back with the burger-flipping jobs their degrees qualify them for.
No kidding. And it is THE most important aspect of the whole story. It's what counts, for the love of God.
Today’s political world has turned into a giant pea and shell game.. a sham of democracy in action that reveals a republic hemorrhaging out of its every orifice.
Could someone explain this electoral system to me in plain simple steps!!! How could the both get more delegates with this YUGE LOSS!!!!
