Bernie Sanders has scored a big win in the Democrats Abroad global primary.

The party says 34,570 U.S. citizens living abroad in 38 countries cast votes by Internet, mail and in person from March 1-8. Sanders received 69 percent of the vote to earn nine of the 13 delegates at stake. Hillary Clinton won 31 percent, picking up four delegates.

It’s an important victory for Sanders, who was swept by Clinton in five states last Tuesday.

“In similar news, Sanders won big in the Communists Who Kill Innocents poll. To which Bernie Sanders replied, “Feel the burn!”

Funny you should mention superdelegates.

Hillary has the big lead there and Sanders supporters were apoplectic over the idea that he could win more votes and she could “steal” the nomination.

Fast forward and Sanders needs to win 2-1 or more the rest of the way to beat Hillary and unless the magic indictment fairy makes an appearance, that ain’t happening.

So his new strategy, appeal to the Superdelegates that he should be the nominee, screw the fact that voters have chosen Hillary.

Hey, what about the other 7 billion Democrats Abroad? Isn’t the entire world full of “undocumented Americans?”

Both parties are apoplectic about having "interlopers" mess with their decreed outcomes.

We have already had posts that say that the electoral college should be influenced to change the electoral outcome if Trump gets elected. Yet, those same people claim Trump is unscrupulous and unethical....go figure.
