So how then are the votes cast in a non caucus state the quantifiable factor? |

To be clear. Dedicated voters do not get more credit for their vote than a casual supporter gets for theirs. While Sanders supporters can claim to be more dedicated, they cannot claim to be in the majority. The claim that Clinton has three million might be a bit high... 2.7 may be closer to the truth. That number is in raw votes and is true. What the importance raw votes means could be argued either way. If I were a candidate I would rather have an advantage in raw votes than a hypothetical advantage in dedicated support. |

It varies from state to state. Clearly the caucus method favors Sanders..or rather, he is better equipped to take advantage of it. Edited by CautionaryTales, May 18 2016, 06:32 AM.

It's no surprise that the establishment doesn't like Sanders. He isn't beholden to special interests and big donors. |

Sanders has his special interests and he would not be in contention without their support. Every candidate has a special interest support group. Otherwise they would not have any reason to run for office. |

So basically the 2.7 million number is based on primary states only? because there are only guesses from the caucus states? |

We know the special interest groups supporting Hillary Clinton are major corporations, Saudi Arabia, and the republican neocon establishment which gave us Iraq. |

Estimates...guesses...whatever you want to call them. They are the reports of the caucus that support their delegate apportioning decision. Combine those with the primary figures and the lead in votes Clinton claims is calculated. |

There are a great many other supporters of Clinton that you fail to mention. Me, for example. I'm a middle class old white guy. Like it or not, it take a whole village buddy. Edited by CautionaryTales, May 18 2016, 06:45 AM.

You are consistent in giving your support to your own marginalization. Why you have chosen to throw your lot with scoundrels including Wall Street, Saudi Arabia, and Republican neocons is a mystery. |

I support Hillary Clinton because she is the best capable person available to be running the country. If Obama were eligible and running I would be supporting him, as he has proven to be an above average President and no other more apparently capable person has emerged as a candidate. Including Clinton. It's not complicated. Edited by CautionaryTales, May 18 2016, 06:50 AM.

Mine is a primary state. There are two kinds of them. Winner take all and apportioned. Mine is winner take all. (NJ) It could be NJ that puts Clinton over the top. Close anyhow... Edited by CautionaryTales, May 18 2016, 06:55 AM.

Instead of "best capable", I'd have to go with "least worst"

That's your opinion son. The voters will get the chance to decide that. |

The game is rigged in favor of large multinational corporations including Saudi Arabia and that's where you have put your support. |

In the democratic primary, special interests and the donor class already have. |
