(24,544 posts)Every single article I've read says "Sanders wins West Virginia! Will it matter?" or "Sanders wins West Virginia! Makes little difference to delegate counts" but somehow, GDP is trying to act as though the race has "tightened" or that the shrinking of Hillary's delegate lead from 296 to 287 is somehow something huge.
Meh is probably about right.

(9,527 posts)It doesn't change the math in Sanders favor. In fact it probably leaves him further behind considering his probable delegate total won't go up by enough to offset the number of potential delegates no longer available.

(6,007 posts)Bernie keeps winning state after state by large margins. Hillary squeaks out a few.
Bernie has many more individual donor. Bernie gets Yuuuuge, enthusiastic crowds in the tens of thousands, Hillary draws crowds in the dozens.
Is it the voter "irregularities" that have been the difference? Because something doesn't add up.
