A funny thing happened on the way to the coronation...

Just read Clinton will leave NH with same number of delegates as sanders, even tho he won. She has six superdelegates. They could eventually move to support Sanders, but for now...they're hers.

Uncle Sugar supporters cry vote stealing, but they should embrace it as "vote redistribution." Or perhaps, "fairness."

We could see a 1968 style meltdown at the Democratic National Convention. I'll have my popcorn ready and a cold beer...

In short, if the very enthusiastic and supportive Bernie crowd continues to see their guy win primaries, and yet, somehow, due to super delegates, he does not come up with the majority and the nomination....people could react emotionally. This is understandable since not everyone understands the esoteric rules.

Hillary got the same delegates for New Hampshire as Bernie, and he beat her by 22 percentage points. Do that a few times and this will get tense.

Now the reverse is true - if Clinton starts really winning, then the will of the primary voters in the states and that of the delegates will not be misaligned, and all will be fine in the Democratic party. But a misalignment is a possibility from where we are now, looking forward.

I agree with what you are saying regarding the rules but I don't see much fire in the belly of Bernie Supporters. They are too busy Tweeting, taking selfies and hooking up on Tinder.

I guess you missed the details in the article regarding superdelegates and that of course they could end up sanders'?

Ok she visited the bluegrass state yesterday and brought with her tornadoes, hail, and flooding.

And a crowd of maybe 80 people.

trump won't release his returns...breaking from precedent. every nominee has released, since 1976. and a break from the advice given to Romney in the last election, from trump himself.

most likely because he doesn't want his idiot followers to know he's been lying about his wealth. his one 'claim to fame' is he's a businessman.. bad enough the bankruptcies, but to have people find out he's not the tycoon he claims? that much of his 'wealth' is inflated based on his perceived value of his name...can't have that.

and then there's this....one of the few things he has released. smh
