Discussion: Projection: Bernie Sanders Wins West Virginia Primary

In the end tonight how many delegates morethen Clinton will he get, about 20? Meanwhile Hillary keeps adding more to her lead.
He would have to have a donald trump kind of win from now to the last primary to beat Hillary.
Come on people, what are the chances?

Ruh-rohs! Hillary won big in WV over Barack Obama…but today Bernie wins big over Hillary…there may be trouble in Superdelegateville! Bernie Bros squeal with delight, Hillbots clutch their sd’s!

It’s a state Clinton won against an African American in 2008, which is not something that should be ignored.

And it’s also a state she didn’t really contest in 2016, including not running ads on TV.

The Green Papers project Sanders will get one (1) more delegate than Clinton from tonight:

…and takes 29 delegates off the table leaving 926 pledged delegates total left to be decided.

Did you forget that in 2008 Hillary Clinton was running against an African American with the middle name Hussein?

And now as a woman she’s running against a white man?

Nah, why worry about context.

West Virginia has only 29 pledged delegates up for grabs. He’ll net one or two more than Hillary. Feel the Bern.

Also, this tidbit from the exits:

Exit polls Tuesday found only 33 percent of West Virginia Democrats are committed to voting Democrat in November. Around 27 percent of the state’s Democrats said they would vote for Trump and 36 percent said it would depend.

A huge chunk of the people voting for Bernie in West Virginia tonight are just DINO Trumpenproles trolling Hillary. It’ll be the same in Kentucky.

So, are you a Hillbot, or a Bernie Bro? I assume you must be one of those, since I was commenting in reference to them. Well?

ETA: Yeah, it’s probably dawning on you that you misread my comment. It’s okay, I forgive you.

Clinton was under fire in the state for a remark she made about the coal industry – a major industry in West Virginia – in March. Speaking of her push towards renewables energy, she said, “We’re going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business.”

Uh… Bernie criticized Clinton for not being aggressive enough on climate change… so I am not sure why Bernie would garner any greater support from those who favor the use of coal.

Though she tried to walk back the comment, it continued to dog her. Her connections with the Obama administration also didn’t help, as his regulations on the coal industry are unpopular in the state.

Very disappointed in the way this is framed. There was no “walking back” of what Hillary Clinton had said during that speech. She said so much more. Context, context, context! Yes, she did say “We’re going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business,” but she also said that was related to the current downward pressures on the use of coals around the world and here in the States. She ALSO said that BECAUSE so many will be put out of those jobs, she fully supported training those and future workers for other trades, not to forget those people, to make sure they had the healthcare coverage they needed, etc. Dammit, seriously – if you’re going to report on such a quote, use proper context. I expect this from FOX Entertainment and World News Daily, yes – TPM, no!

edited because so many words disappeared … don’t know why.

I’m no Bernie Bot (I voted HC in Pennsylvania) but I have eyes to see and it is NOT ok that she is continuing to look like a terribly weak candidate. In fact, it has a potential to turn into a perfect storm for Trump, as she may be the only canadidate in the country who is in the same stratosphere as him in terms of negatives. This election is going to be largely a personality contest and HC neither inspires and she is widely loathed. It’s a problem and it’s scary.

It does concern me that she’s such a terrible campaigner/communicator that she would make this coal workers gaffe. Obama had his cling-to-guns-and-religion moments, but they were few and far between, and he – like Bill – had the ace card of charisma to play when he dealt himself a bad hand. Hillary makes more unforced errors and doesn’t has about as much Teflon as my old, scratched-up camping pan.
