After Crushing Defeat, DNC Quirk Still Gives Hillary More New Hampshire Delegates Than Sanders
Daily Caller ^

Posted on 02/10/2016 7:03:55 AM PST by TigerClaws

Though Bernie Sanders won the New Hampshire primary in a landslide over Hillary Clinton, he will likely receive fewer delegates than she will.

Sanders won 60 percent of the vote, but thanks to the Democratic Party’s nominating system, he leaves the Granite State with at least 13 delegates while she leaves with at least 15 delegates.

New Hampshire has 24 “pledged” delegates, which are allotted based on the popular vote. Sanders has 13, and Clinton has 9, with 2 currently allotted to neither.

But under Democratic National Committee rules, New Hampshire also has 8 “superdelegates,” party officials who are free to commit to whomever they like, regardless of how their state votes. Their votes count the same as delegates won through the primary.

Bernie? Hillary? Not much difference. The Democrat party leans so far left its a wonder it remains upright.

How anybody could support the subversive, lying she-demon is beyond me. But hey, bring her on. She needs a good Trumpthumping.

The voting didn’t matter. The fix was in and the socialists on Democratic Underground are already melting down.

Bernie (New York atheist socialist Jew) will be destroyed in the south. He will win enough east and west coast delegates to get a good speech time slot, but his rowdy young delegates will be out campaigning for Hillary come the fall.

And when the dnc installs their approved candidate, Bernie’s followers will vote for Trump as retribution.

I hope the DNC and Clinton camp keep pulling this crap. One more reason for Bernie to decide to run as 3rd party candidate should he lose the nomination.

We need to get word out about this on social media. The BernieBot will encourage him to go 3rd party.

I sure hope the GOP side doesn’t work this way too.

" Then, yes, 1968 riots at the convention, for sure, but with the added possibility of Black Panthers playing the role of the Chicago Police busting the heads of the protesters. "

Live, and in real time just like back in '68? What a hoot!!

I bet the GOP works the same way and we’ll have Yeb! running against Shrillery in the General.

broomhilda the demorat nominee
Bloomberg running as the No-IQ Party nominee
Sanders running as some kind of Occupy Party nominee

vs.

Donald Trump, Republican Nominee for President of the United States

The Superdelegates were put in to prevent the Dems from nominating another McGovern. Who was to the right of Bernie. So the system is performing as designed.

I’ve been out concern-trolling Bernie-supporters on several other message boards. You’re absolutely corrects, the Bernsters are seriously ticked at learning how the Democrat nominating process works.

ABC verifies the numbers:

Hillary is up big time in delegates - the only vote that matters at the convention.

Coin flips and super delegates. It’s not democratic, just Democrat.

Why is Bernie running against Hillary, anyway. He’s not a registered Democrat. Man, the irony is thick in this race.

As the article pointed out, with the Superdelegates Hillary wons NH 15 ( at least) to 13.

Despite a 22-point loss at the polls.
