Looks Like Hillary will have a majority of delegates at state convention.

https://twitter.com/RalstonReports/status/731528885104349184

1,245 Clinton delegates
1,149 Sanders delegates

Back to a narrow Hillary win in Nevada after the state appeared to shift to bernie after county conventions.

The Bernie side is, as I type this, screaming for a recount.  The chairs are calling for order.

The speaker right now is emphasizing that the credentials report is "preliminary", with the final report to come later.  Bernie side is still screaming and chanting.

Btw, cross-posted from a different thread, and from before the credentials report:

I'm at the NV Dem convention right now, and state party chairwoman Roberta Lange just announced that she agreed the caucus system is outdated and fraught with massive problems.  She and the state party will be looking at moving toward a state-funded primary (crowd went wild) or "massively reforming" the party-funded caucuses (crowd booed).

Glad to see the wind blowing in the right direction.

I think we will be back to a 20-15 Clinton National Delegate majority, up from an estimated 18-17 majority after county conventions.

Time to call in some of David Brock's finest paid thugs to rough these losers up.

Agreed. Here in Minnesota it likes we will have a Primary in 2020 also. Primary bill has passed the state Senate and is moving in state House, Governor Dayton has said he is favor of a primary.

This is another big problem with caucuses. Delegate allocation should just be proportional, and delegates shouldn't be able to change their minds. NV's delegates should just be split 19-16.

FWIW many caucus states do use precinct caucus results to bind delegates (MN for example).  Primaries are still better but having the results change after every step of the process is absurd.

According to twitter things have ground to a halt as Bernie supporters are having a hissy fit.

Glad to see the Clinton machine has reclaimed its delegates and is in the process of breaking up the rabble.

I think it is safe to say we have seen the last of Nevada as an early state.

More like Nevada is going to dump the caucus in favor of a primary. The argument for Nevada going early is still valid.

A state who's process dissolves into chaos should not be giving an early spot on the calendar. Besides rumors are Nevada is going to be replaced by Colorado or Arizona as first in the West.

Maybe both parties will tear themselves apart.  God, I could only hope.

There was an announcement a little while ago that a puppy has been found, and the owner should claim it at the Bernie Sanders info kiosk.

Sanders supporters are spoiled and entitled in a way that only a movement made of white millennials could be.

Oh sh**t they're booing Barbara Boxer now, after she reiterated Bernie's call for civility.

"When you boo me, you're booing Bernie Sanders as well."

The worst part is, aren't these mostly the kinds of people who were chosen to be Bernie delegates at the DNC? If so, I agree that it will be a disaster.

Bernie needs to open his eyes, and fast, if he cares about electing a progressive to the White House.
