Sanders Wins Indiana Democratic Primary
NBC News ^ | May 03, 2016 | Carrie Dann

Posted on 05/04/2016 1:34:32 AM PDT by Trump20162020

Bernie Sanders is the winner of the Democratic primary in Indiana, NBC News projects.

But the outcome is all but certain not to knock Hillary Clinton's march to the Democratic nomination off course. Because Indiana Democrats allocate delegates proportionally, the close race between the two candidates ensures that Sanders will capture only a small net delegate gain, leaving him still well behind Clinton in the race for support.

When Lyndon Johnson, the incumbent president, only won New Hampshire by six or so percentage points in 1968, Johnson took that as a signal that led to his dropping out.

How many of these primaries has Hillary lost or ‘won’ by narrower margins than that.

Its rigged in her favor with the ‘superdelegates’.

“Another big win for The Bern!

And yet he gets less delegates.

Bernie is fighting the tide as he tries to do that in the rigged system, but I have no objections to his “quixotic” quest.

Bernie vs. Trump when Hillary goes to prison. Bernie wins hands down. Too many takers to overcome.

Let’s hope this encourages the drooling commie to go third party when the demonrat party anoints the hideous witch.

A 5 point spread and Bern gets *fewer* delegates. Uniparty math.

This isn’t the first primary where the outsider candidate won by substantial numbers, BOTH parties’ primaries. I will hypothsize that if it’s hillary vs Trump, that sentiment favors Trump.

The GOPe division of the Uniparty failed to make sure its rigging was as secure as the rigging of the Uniparty’s DEMe division.

Of course it is “rigged”. The Democrats came up with the superdelegate concept so that they could nominate “a moderate”. First beneficiary was Bill Clinton himself who was perceived at as a southern moderate. Since then it’s a way for the Party Bosses to hand-pick their candidate — and that’s how we got Barak Obama. That was a Pelosi-Reid deal to derail Hillary & get their idea of healthcare reform enacted. I’d say they got more than they bargained for in that move.

Yeah, Bern the witch! She turned me into a newt... well, I got better. Seriously though there’s a picture of this silly old goat in today’s NY Post giving the closed fist communist salute. And standing behind him are a bunch of equally stupid kids who think Uncle Bernie’s going to give them all free stuff.

I think a lot of “takers” are realizing the money has run out; I don’t envy the takers here in NJ. They live in dangerous, crumbling areas and are surrounded by foreigners jabbering in foreign tongues.

While Bernie has a core of die-hard supporters, I don’t believe most Americans think his plans could work. Maybe just wishful thinking on my part, but the Welfarians haven’t had a fun time the past eight years and young people have no reason to believe Sanders will create jobs.

Whatever damage the Obama administration has wrought on our country, he as succeeded in doing worse to the Democrat party.

Under Obama all the big liberal “ideas” were put into law. It’s not that they’ve run out of ideas, it’s that those that have been enacted have all failed. Miserably.

This is why Trump will win.

It is reminiscent of BJ Clinton in 2000, and Bush II in 2008; both came into power with their party controlling everything, and left with their party controlling nothing...

Apparently it wasn't the first time. Here are two pics of Bernie giving the commie salute in Feb. The first one is a Getty image and the other one might be too so I can't post them.

Sanders commie salute #1

Sanders commie salute #2
