Next are the county conventions where they elect the delegates to the CD and State conventions where actual delegates are elected. <br /><br />In this kind of delegate selection process, Clinton could have beaten Sanders by a large margin but still only end up with half the delegates.<br /><br />I went home to Iowa to work for Bernie and in college towns the excess votes were dramatic. Bernie absolutely won the popular vote, but the DNC has mandated that the IDP not share that data (and the total votes --without any splits-- have already been published in the DM Register so it's not secret stuff). <br /><br />Media coverage was terrible. I understand why most Americans resent Iowa's caucuses. None of you have a clue what they're really about (think voter lists are nice to have? Try working a list of people who actually felt strongly enough to go out at night in February to too small a room filled with too many people for too long a time!).Mark Gislesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05264508885194574116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-83007904529681248492016-02-03T12:57:48.451-09:002016-02-03T12:57:48.451-09:00Interesting the article above says 49.9 to 49.5 or...Interesting the article above says 49.9 to 49.5 or 0.4 difference-<br /><br />But I find the Iowa dem party says<br />48.8 to 48.6.

You have to be able to find the bipartisan, “warm, purple space” as Clinton said earlier this year, to get anything done. Slate's Jamelle Bouie was super-impressed by this rationale, saying Clinton has “skilled use of bureaucratic power.”<br /><br />The problem with this narrative is that it is completely false. Not only has Sanders gotten a lot more things done than Clinton did in her own short legislative career, he's actually one of the most effective members of Congress, passing bills, both big and small, that have reshaped American policy on key issues like poverty, the environment and health care.<br /><br />http://www.alternet.org/election-2016/bernie-gets-it-done-sanders-record-pushing-through-major-reforms-will-surprise-youAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-85625110045205644032016-02-03T11:13:09.299-09:002016-02-03T11:13:09.299-09:00HRC poll Iowa_

They may not all win—some might not even represent the Democrats in the general election—but they exemplify a new energy in the party, expressing pride in liberal ideas instead of fleeing from them, ready to work the levers of the system to achieve progress wherever possible. The greatest gift Sanders—the longtime independent—has given to the Democratic Party is to inspire a progressive revolution from within.<br /><br />https://newrepublic.com/article/129047/bernies-army-running-congressAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-4424610577885951632016-02-03T10:47:58.399-09:002016-02-03T10:47:58.399-09:00HRC for Mr Sanders VP, would be as bad as JFK'...HRC for Mr Sanders VP, would be as bad as JFK's choice of LBJ and the end results would also be the sameAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-8982338144339458002016-02-03T10:45:40.179-09:002016-02-03T10:45:40.179-09:00If Sanders sided with HRC, I would vote Green Part...If Sanders sided with HRC, I would vote Green Party.<br /><br />I would feel that I had been sold out to the corps, as I would be.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-45327701161720176262016-02-03T10:04:37.072-09:002016-02-03T10:04:37.072-09:00Would HRC prosecute???
