Hillary Clinton

Last Tuesday, the state reported the results of our mail-in primary. Donald Trump won on the Republican side. Somewhat surprisingly, Hillary Clinton beat Bernie Sanders for the Democrats.
Thats where the problems began. To some Sanders supporters, who believe everything from the newspaper to the vote-counting machines are against them, this result was not just surprising. It was literally unbelievable.
She hasnt won anything you mean STOLE the primary, one Sandersnista wrote on the Seattle for Bernie Sanders Facebook page
Its not about who votes, its about who counts them, asserted another.
I dont know a single person who voted for this woman. NOT ONE! wrote a third. I have posts and posts of people showing their ballots for Bernie. I dont trust it, I absolutely dont trust anything anymore.
So I sent him the names of every local Sanders voter I could find who said on Facebook that their ballots werent counted. He entered them in the database and found that all their ballots were counted (except for one, who didnt appear to exist it might have been a fake Facebook name).

His followers are simply taking their lead from the candidate himself.

(3,284 posts)Howard Dean was on TV this morning, being asked about Bernie Sanders. Even Howard mentioned that Bernie needs to stop being so hostile to the party. I was a little surprised to hear it from him, since he usually seems so optimistic that Bernie will do his part to unify the party.
I've heard that BS always says the right things behind closed doors to party leaders, but when he gets in front of his large rowdy crowds he starts going on the attack again. Maybe the crowds go to his head?

Aha!
what made these voters think their ballots weren't counted?
It's so funny to me when people claim their anecdotal evidence as if it's a clinical study. "I don't know a single person who voted for Hillary Clinton, therefore no one really voted for Hillary Clinton!"

That is, indeed, Bernie Math.
