Counting the supers - and they DO count - Sanders won 19 delegates in WV to Hillary's 17.

One delegate remains uncommitted.

2. Supers don't count right now. nt

3. Wow, such a dramatic gain. This changes everything.

None of the delegates vote until convention anyway, so the folks yelling "superdelegates don't vote until the convention" don't really have a valid point. Pledged and superdelegates vote at the same time.

5. As Hillary loses another state.

Apparently she cannot beat a 74 year old liberal jewish socialist from Vermont in West Virginia..

Time to celebrate????

7. in 08 Hillary won the last nine states...including PA and Ohio

This just means Bernie now is closer to the end. She has an insurmountable lead.

13. This race was over in March. Shes not even spending $$$

But comfort yourself however you like.

6. Every time he "wins" he falls further behind.

8. Green Papers makes no such claim that supers count

They are clear about their various delegate counts and you are posting misleading bullshit. But then again what else is new.

9. Ignoring Supers for a moment...

Sanders needed 19 delegates last night to be on track to getting a majority of pledged delegates. He came up two short. Sanders supporters might think he can make up the ground in KY in OR. But keep this in kind.... Last night Sanders LOST with actual Democrats and KY and OR are BOTH Closed primaries. If Sanders eeks put a victory in KY, it will be a narrow one, and get him further behind. And I thinkmthere is a good chance Clinton actually wins KY. Sanders still likely wins OR, IMO, but it won't be anything like the 30+ point margin heeds (really more like 35 points by then). He'll be heading into CA needing to win 70% of the vote. That's pure fantasy.

10. GP says Sanders netted 7 delegates last night (18 to 11)

You can put forth that supers count from the day they declare their support (even though it is subject to change), or you can put forth that supers don't count until they vote (since they are subject to change), but in no reading are they suddenly "won" or "netted" on the day of the primary.

11. Oh I see, you use your own math. Whatever.

12. it's not the "MATH" right now -- It's the CALENDAR.

and If Hillary can't beat Bernie how could she beat Trump?

[JaneyVee]

14. LOL what? This race was over in March.

[stopbush]

15. Er, if Sanders can't beat Hillary, how can he beat Trump?

He trails her by millions of votes and hundreds of delegates.

Honestly, you should think before you post such silly nonsense. You're grasping at straws.
