Poll Watch – Delegate Count – 5-3-16 – Sanders: ‘It will be a contested convention’
What exactly are you ‘contesting’ Bernie?
That you have millions fewer popular votes then Hillary?
That you have won fewer pledged delegates then Hillary?
That you have few Super delegates then Hillary?
Or maybe you’re ‘contesting’ that you’ve won fewer States then Hillary?
Or Bernie….are you ‘contesting’ that even though you have lost – you want the nomination ‘handed’ to you?

Bernie’s ‘massive landslide’
Bernie Sanders :
“In the state of Washington, we won that caucus with almost 73 percent of the vote there — 73 percent of the vote. In anybody’s opinion, that is a massive landslide”.(1)
A “massive landslide” according to Bernie.
Washington State Democrat Caucus results :
CANDIDATES VOTE PCT. DELEGATES
Bernie Sanders – 19,159 – 72.7%
Hillary Clinton – 7,140 – 27.1
19,159 is a “massive landslide’ according to Bernie.
In 2012, President Obama got 1,620,432 votes in Washington State.
In the 2016 Democratic Primary, Bernie got 19,159 and that was, according to Bernie, a “massive landslide”.
Because Bernie got a little more then 1 tenth of 1 percent = .1% of the votes President Obama got 4 years earlier, Bernie thinks his “massive landslide” is the reason Washington’s Super delegates should ALL, yes ALL flip over and support him.
