(53,977 posts)Why would they think Sanders was going to win there?
I keep hearing the same thing about Puerto Rico too.

(15,374 posts)I also found this one: http://www.politico.com/story/2016/05/hillary-clinton-guam-bernie-sanders-222927
The Vermont senator still trails Clinton by roughly 300 pledged delegates and can no longer reach the nomination threshold using pledged delegates alone, necessitating a focus on winning over super delegates but he has pledged to compete through the final contests in June.
With only seven pledged delegates at stake and Sanders facing an all-but-impossible path to the nomination, neither candidate visited Guam located 7,900 miles away from Washington, D.C., its far from a standard political stop much on the campaign trail.
YESSSSSS!!

(15,374 posts)win in Guam after the Tim Robbins b***s*** (as well as that of other Bernie surrogates).
So I was surprised when the "conventional wisdom" predicted that Bernie would win.
I LOVE it that he didn't!
I hate myself for gloating, but the way Bernie and his campaign and surrogates have been behaving lately, I am going to gloat to my heart's content!
My late father would not be proud of me, but that's where we are right now and I have a feeling that he might not be too hard on me in these circumstances.
Cha
(298,030 posts)how silly he's feeling?
I mean really.. why did he have to open his mouth about Guam? What makes them be so insulting? He and that ex wife of his say the silliest things that always comes back to bite them. He also called us sheep.. Which makes Guam even sweeter.. I dare him to call Guam "sheep".
it's a little hard to feel guilty about gloating, especially after the crap that's been thrown our way this week!

(16,104 posts)Counting superdelegates, Clinton has amassed a little more than 93 percent of the total necessary for the Democratic nomination, according to ABC News estimates. To get to the magic number of 2,383, the former secretary of state needs to win 16 percent of all remaining delegates and 73 percent of pledged delegates.
Meanwhile, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders needs to win 97 percent of all remaining delegates. He cannot reach 2,383 on pledged delegates alone; to win the Democratic nomination, he would need the support of the superdelegates.

(9,494 posts)So much for Guam being insignificant, Tim Robbins. With this Guam win, bernie is officially unable to get to 2386. He can only get to 2385 and that's if he wins every single delegate left.
It's all about the math.
As of today, there are 926 delegates outstanding through the end of the primary season. He has 1459 delegates (including the 41 superdelegates he's acquired). 1459 + 926 = 2385. From this point on, every delegate that Secretary Clinton gets, takes him further from 2386.

Though we really did try to make it.

And I just can't fake it, oh, no, no.

(9,967 posts)Maybe the way Tim Robbins insulted them, or maybe they just are the kind of people who don't believe in fantastical promises...
A combination of those two factors?
Anyway, THANK YOU GUAM!
Cha
(298,030 posts)about tim robbins suggesting South Carolina meant about as much as Guam(turns out he was close).. South Carolina was a massive win and helped Hillary a lot.. but then so is Guam!
They must have had some strong Hillary Caucus goers there in Guam!
Hey, hey, hey Cha!

(4,790 posts)my neck of the NYC woods, the East Village. I live close to there (~.33 mile), and grew up even closer.
It's no longer there: the Japanese restaurant on the corner painted over it some time in 2014. This neighborhood, and the Lower East Side in general, gets a ton of street art/ mural action; I take a lot of photos of them. This one goes back at least to 2007; seven years is an eternity for work like this in an active neighborhood.
You can see in situ on Google Street View in 7/2011:

(1,968 posts)Expect the "stolen election" threads to start any time now, ignoring the fact that the Sanders campaign insulted Guam and Clinton actually outspent him there (she spent $20K, he spent less, but I don't have the number right here).
