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.

RE: 8+9=17, not 15?

Not according to Common Core math it isn't!

What’s the point of having a primary then? Just announce Hillary.

What the GOPe did in Mississippi, would be impossible to accomplish in multiple states. However, that is why the Democrat Party created the superdelegates, so they could control outcomes should they go against what they perceive to be against their best interests.

So I think you can start laughing already as in essence the same result using a different tactic is already quite evident to these youngsters. The real laugher may be when Hillary wins the nomination process, Bernie goes third party, drastically affecting the Democrat nominee in the general election.

If Bloomberg follows through with his consideration to run as a third party candidate as well, the result will be a landslide victory for the Republican candidate.

The Democrat Party realizes they are in real trouble by having selected Debbie Wasserman Shultz as the DNC chairperson, who then rigged the game in Hillary's favor. He head will roll when this is all over.

I do not foresee Hillary being indicted by the current administration, but if that happened we could see a Biden or Warren replacement set in and take the nomination at their convention.

Let's just say it's going to be fun watching this all unfold against the Democrats.

Ha ha ha. Hope this teaches the CHILDREN voting in the Democrat party WHAT THIS REVEALS ABOUT HUSSEIN & HITLERY!!

These two, Hussein and Hitlery, have wielded UNDISPUTED power over the DEMOCRAT party ever since Lurch and Howard Dean failed in the 2004 election.

And look, kids, and how they’ve RIGGED it.

Enjoy your fascism.

"And Bernies young activist supporters are going to put up with this?:

That was my exact thought. Beneath all the rhetoric about fairness and democracy, they tolerate THIS blatant unfairness, brought to them by the party of hope and change?

Nobody in the media is covering this. They want the Bernie bots out there working for Hillary in a couple months.

Share it on social media!

"Nobody in the media is covering this."

They can't sweep it under the rug forever. The growing bulge under the rug will become apparent when people start asking why Hillary keeps losing, but still has a big edge in delegates.

the majority of the democrats are so disgruntled they either stay home or defect to Trump.

Not going to happen

Democrats lack morals, shame, empathy and are mindless sheep who will do whatever they are told.

Remember the PUMAs in 2008, they quickly fell in line

Yep. It not a quirk. It IS part of central planning. Voters are not needed.

Basically what I posted, but I targeted the Democrats as they were the issue in the article. I probably should have stated involvement by both the political parties.

It’s got to change regardless. This isn’t how the system is supposed to work. These political parties aren’t supposed to be the decision makers for the leadership of our country. The people are supposed to be making the decision on their leadership by the offerings presented.

A whole lot of issues need to be course corrected in our political system. We’ve allowed the inmates to take over the asylum.

Some of the young may stay home - they always do - but Rats will not abandon Hillary’s sinking ship.

To fool the peasants on either side of the Uniparty aisle into believing their vote means something.

They used to call this “quirk” - Corruption. Usually associated with cigars and back rooms. Corrupt to the core.

AND a Klintoon won 6 out of 6 consecutive coin tosses - anyone inspect that specific coin? Has anyone on this thread ever tried and accomplished such a feat of strength?
