- . @Bakari_Sellers the more tragic point is this: Hillary will struggle like hell against Donald Trump and every poll says as much.
- Vote totals for Oregon were just updated and it appears @BernieSanders will win by at least 12%!
- In reply to Bakari Sellers. @Bakari_Sellers which ones did she win that are missing? Which ones did Bernie win that are missing. Be specific.
- In reply to daveweigel. @daveweigel Exactly what are you disputing? That the vote totals from Washington State are not included in the popular vote tallies?
- Another must-read from @ShaunKing incl. debunking the LIE that Hillary is winning the popular vote by 3 million.
- .@ShaunKing: Superdelegates will decide who wins Dem nomination — but not until convention http://nydn.us/1XCBq6J
- In reply to Bakari Sellers. @Bakari_Sellers Bernie won EVERY SINGLE COUNTY in Washington State. A state with 7.2 million people, and NONE of this votes are included.
- In reply to David A. Graham. @GrahamDavidA No, of course not, but as of right now, in the vote totals quoted by Clinton, ZERO are included from Washington State. ZERO.
- I will close with this. @BernieSanders is the anti-Trump. He's authentic, consistent, genuine, and fought his whole life FOR THE PEOPLE.
- What's wild, is that they act like polls aren't of real people. They aren't computer generated models. They are asking regular people.
- For 10 straight months, the polls said Donald Trump would win the nomination. Experts said "ignore the polls" Now they're doing it again.
- In other words, will Super-Delegates knowingly & openly send a candidate out against Trump which every poll says will struggle against him?
- The question, and it's a damn important one, is this Will super-delegates stay loyal to Clinton EVEN if Trump's beating her in July polls?
- In essence, we're going to get all the way to July, less than 4 months before the GENERAL ELECTION, and super-delegates are going to choose.
- Currently, 93% of the super-delegates who have announced say they are supporting Hillary If that same percentage supported Bernie, HE WINS.
- So we can say that super-delegates aren't going to select the Democratic nominee, but they ARE Neither Clinton or Sanders will win w/o them
- Still, in EVERY SINGLE POLL, @BernieSanders beats Donald Trump in a head to head - ALWAYS by bigger margins than Hillary.
- With each week that passes, her poll numbers against Donald are actually getting WORSE. 2 polls from today have her losing to him by 3 & 5
- Now, here is where it gets UGLY and I think legitimately dangerous for the future of our country. Hillary is LOSING to Donald in the polls
- So, basically - Super Delegates get to choose what they think is best for the party, regardless of votes, delegates, etc.
- So, we can't say that super-delegates are democratic, because they aren't. We can't say they are swayed by votes, because they aren't....
- So now, we have the embarrassing reality of states where @BernieSanders CRUSHED it, but ALL of the super-delegates now feel bound to Hillary
- So, as you could imagine, @HillaryClinton and her team NEVER imagined that @BernieSanders would win 21 contests with 7 to go. NEVER
- In other words, Hillary's super-delegates were NEVER about what was best, what people wanted in their own states, or any of that. About HER.
- In essence, @HillaryClinton began this campaign, before the first vote was cast, with a delegate head start bigger than 10 states combined.
- In fact, several people told me one reason Elizabeth Warren didn't run for President was because she saw Hillary's super-delegate hustle.
- No. Doesn't work like that. When 359 super-delegates pledged to support Hillary BEFORE votes were cast, it showed their true colors.
- If you pledged to support Hillary BEFORE the election began, you can't NOW say you are pledging because "she's ahead in delegates and votes"
- The 359 Super-Delegates who pledged to support Hillary BEFORE the first vote was cast represent 68% of her total super-delegate pledges.
- 359 of Hillary's Super-Delegates publicly pledged their support BEFORE the first vote was cast. Let's examine what that really means.
- . @HillaryClinton and her camp say her super-delegates back her because she "has the most delegates" or "is winning the popular vote" right?
- Please read and share what I am about to say. I'm trying to give you a new tool in your bullshit-detector kit.
- I said that to say something even BIGGER. And this point is about to be essential and could cause the whole Democratic Party to fall apart.
- I had no idea. I actually thought @HillaryClinton was really up on Bernie by 3 million votes. She isn't. That whole metric is a farce.
- So, when the @HillaryClinton camp says "We're up on Senator Sanders by 3 million votes," know that WHOLE states like Washington aren't in it
- Not only that, but in the 15 caucus states, they don't function by popular vote totals. So ANY statement on who won the popular vote is OFF.
- For instance, @BernieSanders won Maine by 29%, but not a single vote for him is included in Hillary's often quote "3 million vote lead"
- For instance, @BernieSanders won 81% in Alaska. Not a single of those votes are included in the popular vote tallies.
- In fact, 12 of the 21 contests won by @BernieSanders were caucuses and their actual vote totals are NOT included in "popular vote" tallies.
- Washington State has 7.2 million people. @BernieSanders won 71% of the votes. NONE of those votes count in the "popular vote totals".
- Did you know that in Hillary's "3 million vote lead" that many states where @BernieSanders won BIG, like Washington state, aren't included?
- First, I have to expose a HUGE lie that is being told by @HillaryClinton and her team. She DOES NOT have a 3 million vote lead.
- So, after the final 6 states + DC vote, Hillary Clinton still will not have enough delegates to be the nominee. Queue the Super Delegates.
- In order for Clinton to get the nomination, she needs 615 delegates. That would be 65% of what's left She won't get 65% in one single state
- A candidate needs 2,383 delegates to win the nomination Hillary has 1,768 Bernie has 1,494 930 delegates remain in 7 primaries So...
- If you need to see where Debbie Wasserman Schultz said SUPERDELEGATES will determine the election go here. 15:20
- Now, 8 years after being Hillary's co-chair, Debbie Wasserman Schultz is the Chair of the DNC, which is strange, but let's press in a bit.
