[quote=The New York Times]Continuing a string of victories across the West, Senator Bernie Sanders won the Wyoming Democratic caucuses Saturday, chipping away at Hillary Clinton’s delegate lead before a major primary in New York next week. With 96 percent of precincts reporting, The Associated Press declared Mr. Sanders the winner with 56 percent of the vote.[/quote] [url=http://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/10/us/politics/wyoming-colorado-voting-bernie-sanders-hillary-clinton-ted-cruz-donald-trump.html?_r=0]SOURCE[/url] That makes 8 out of the last 9 contests! Impressive stuff.

A state that barely matters, but it's still really good optics if the less informed spectators get the impression that he's just plain rampaging, even if it's mitigated by corporate media's constant bias against him.

Any win is good, but I was expecting a bigger margin than that. Hillary pulled her campaign out of Wyoming like a week ago to focus on NY. I mean, even if he won 80% it wouldn't make a huge difference, delegate wise. But still. Was kind of hoping for a bigger victory.

[QUOTE=Take_Opal;50101855]who are "the daily beast". "blog posts opinion, changes nothing."[/QUOTE] new media is entirely based around editorial and opinion columns. It's like the only thing people read on the internet anymore.

They will not win the state in the general anyway, it's always been republican

[QUOTE=jalb;50102574]Well the United States does contain Vermont, so does it really count?[/QUOTE] it also borders canada, a pretty much communist red state with a really attractive supreme leader
[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;50102655]it also borders canada, a pretty much communist red state with a really attractive supreme leader[/QUOTE] The US is also majority white so it's not that impressive.
Issue is with this win Bernie got 7 delegates Hilary got 7 delegates. So nothing really changed in the race. Good that he won the popularity vote and the news that he won the state. hopefully he beats HRC at her own home state. (which technically is also his home state)
[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;50102655]it also borders canada, a pretty much communist red state with a really attractive supreme leader[/QUOTE] my ultra right wing friend keeps saying he's going to run to canada if sanders wins. i keep telling him that he's running from a socialist into a socialist country
[QUOTE=ROFLBURGER;50102655]it also borders canada, a pretty much communist red state with a really attractive supreme leader[/QUOTE] We love our red state and our attractive glorious supreme leader. If our government goes completely insane and decides to abolish free health care, rest assured that it will never govern again for the next 100 years.
