![]() So, who won the NH Democratic primary? One would think that Bernie won, having received 60 percent of the vote. Not so, it seems. The DNC doesn't want Bernie so they have manipulated the delegate count by apply their "super delegates" votes in favor of Hillary. Basically, the DNC is saying, "Screw you voters .... *we* will decide who becomes the Democratic nominee." What is a "superdelegate" you ask? Superdelegates are political insiders. They consist of state officials, national officials, Democratic (in this case) Committee members and others with "special" interests in a specific candidate. They can cast their vote any way they want to regardless of who wins the popular vote. A Democratic candidate needs 2,382 total delegates to win the nomination. Of those, 712 are superdelegates. Hillary, despite a virtual tie with Sanders in Iowa and a major popular vote loss in NH, still is far ahead of Sanders in committed delegates. She currently has 394 delegates compared to 44 for Bernie. 360 of Hillary's delegates are "superdelegates". This is a joke and a mockery of what are supposed to be elections determined by voters. The DNC will decide who their candidate is. |
