Senator Bernie Sanders appears to have missed the Fivethirtyeight target for this state.
This looks much closer than expected – effectively a split delegate-wise? In this small caucus state demographically friendly to the Vermont Senator, his updated target was 11. Wonder how people there voted.
Sen Sanders continues his tilting.
As the windmills become more scarce.

I know Bernie will not get the nomination, it is the reality of the moment. I thought I could gag. vomit and manage a vote for Hillary but that has changed. The behavior of her supporters and surrogates and Hillary herself is just too fucked up and burns my ass with their elitist, privileged, know it all seepage from their mouths.
Now I will sit back and wait for a millennial to correct my spelling etc whilst providing some snark bullshit comment that they would never say to me face to face. Then I will see when I can stop my TPM payment and or get a refund so I can get back to something that is enjoyable,
No millennial here, and I’m not in the business of correcting spelling, though I’m tempted on occasion. Snark, on the other hand, I love. That said, I understand, truly, your visceral reaction to Hillary supporters because I feel the same way about the Bernie or Bust-ers, only my adjectives are different.
I find them self righteous, naive, and at times, dense. That they willfully ignore the fact that their man will have to work the system they despise so intensely to change it makes me nuts. It’s as if they believe that if he’s elected he’ll be issued a magic wand at the inauguration.
But that’s more than you wanted to hear, I’m sure. I just wanted to let you know that I feel your pain.
Not a millenial.
But I’ll try my best.
Buh-bye!

Wow let us know what you really think. We HRC supporters, like the woman we support, have taken a page from her playbook - you and other BS supporters can call us names, rant about our misguided loyalty to her, accuse her of everything from murder to being responsible for every horrible event in the world - but it doesn’t faze us any more. Repeat after me - Madame President. That will be your new reality next year.
This is too funny:
I get your frustration. I was a Hillary supporter in 2008 and had to come to the reality about this same time that it wouldn’t be happening for her. It’s painful to want something so badly and not have it come to fruition. But, you’re not really hurting Hillary Clinton or her supporters by sitting out an important election. You’re hurting yourself and possibly your country.
But, honestly, I’ve gotten to the point where I just shrug. People are going to do what they are going to do. As a Hillary supporter, I don’t really feel like I owe you, as a Bernie supporter, anything. Your supporters have given as good as they’ve gotten in this battle
Enjoy one of your last victories in this primary. This is when the winds start to blow in the Clinton direction.
I know it is very upsetting to realize that your candidate is not going to make it. I’m not a millennial either – far from it. I have millennial grandchildren and the soon to be 18 year old will be disappointed that Bernie won’t be the nominee. However, your immature bashing of Sec. Clinton tends to make me lose sympathy for you. Bernie has just had a far more obscure career to get people worked up over how awful he is but he is making good progress on being a jerk. The Wall Street Journal front page story on the behavior of his minions in trying to cadge Hillary’s super delegates would be one example. His very narrow agenda and his curmudgeon attitude have worn very thin with me and I really liked him at first.
Hi Tflick
I can’t remember what it was like in 2008 when the primary started turning in favor of Obama (I was out canvassing for him all the time and not online too much nor crossing paths w/ Hillary supporters)…were the Obama supporters gloating or jeering at Hillary’s people? I remember we were happy and excited but I don’t remember people being mean to Hillary’s people. Were we?
When the PUMAs started appearing in 2008, we were rightly calling their dumbfuckery to task.
Hey, I feel you. If Sanders is the nominee, I would have to vote for someone I now consider entirely full of shit. But I will do that because I don’t consider the principle of not caring that my actions hurt others a noble principle.
I think there was a lot of anger at the time, but I don’t remember this level of vitriol on both sides. There certainly wasn’t such a thing as ObamaBros that took off after people on social media (perhaps because it wasn’t as prevalent 8 years ago). There was definitely the PUMA movement which I chose not to take part in because I was more OK with Obama being the nominee than some other Clinton supporters. The thing is there is nastiness on both sides. Really, ugly nastiness. Personally, I have been called a c**t on online (not here) more in the last few months than in the rest of my life combined. I have had to block people on Twitter and Facebook who come after me for posting the most innocuous of comments in support of Hillary. And I’ve even found myself getting more nasty than I normally would. It’s been ugly and I think it will take a while to heal. But, like I said; this is not a one sided ugliness.
There’s really nothing more privileged, elitist, and, frankly, entitled than threatening to destroy the country, cause irreparable harm all over the world, and set LGBT, women’s, and minority rights back decades, all because you didn’t get your way and someone was mean to you.
Nope, people were not mean. I guess both Clinton and Obama realized that they would have to work together at some level, and that set the tone for the rest.
The really annoying part 8 years ago was not some deliberate meanness, but rather the superiority of many Obama supporters among my friends at that time. They looked down on me with some indulgent, benevolent smile, bc their candidate could walk on water and was the Messiah, and mine could not and was not. But after 8 years of Bush Lite, Obama looked pretty good to me as well, even if I wanted a candidate with more experience in politics and in fighting Republicans.
LOL
We need better trolls.
Edit: Misread hugopreuss’s use of “Bush lite”.
His updated target,after Wisconsin,was 9 and he missed that.
9 is the original target, which your link shows… per the link I posted upthread the revised target is 11 (scroll down for the table).
But, either way… the final result is a 7-7 split.
