Puerto Rico Democrat Primary – Election Results Thread

The professional democrat party apparatus are desperately trying to make candidate Hillary Clinton the presumptive nominee and dismiss any possible challenge by Bernie Sanders.   The mainstream media machine is trying to assist their efforts.

Puerto Rico is voting today –  Sunday 5 June 2016: 60 of 67 delegates to the Democratic National Convention are pledged to presidential contenders based on the results of today’s Puerto Rico Primary. A mandatory 15 percent threshold is required in order for a presidential contender to be pledged National Convention delegates at either the senatorial district or island-wide level.

Bernie Sanders Predicts A Contested Democrat National Convention in Philadelphia…

Tuesday June 7th California, Montana, New Mexico, South Dakota and New Jersey will hold the majority of the remaining contests in the presidential primary (the final Democrat race is Washington DC on June 14th).
bernie largeThe key prize being targeted by Senator Bernie Sanders next Tuesday is California with 548 total delegates at stake.  With a California win Sanders hopes to carry his efforts into a contested convention:

(Via AP) Speaking to reporters in Los Angeles Saturday, the Sanders said that the Democratic National Convention will be contested, predicting that the winner of the Democratic nomination will need to rely on super delegates to reach the magic number. He called the nomination process “deeply flawed,” adding that whether he wins the nomination or not, he will do everything he can to change it. (link)

However, Sanders will more than likely run up against the Clinton DNC and Media machine early in the evening next Tuesday.    All indications are Hillary will likely win New Jersey, with polls closing first at 8:00pm EDT, which will immediately kick off several prime time hours of the MSM spontaneously calling Hillary Clinton “the presumptive nominee”.  (more…)

NBC/WSJ California Poll – Bernie Sanders 48%, Hillary Clinton 47%…

NBC is trying to GASLIGHT the California Electorate

Take heart Bernie supporters. Bernie Sanders WILL WIN in California if an honest election is held.  Absent of DNC manipulation Sanders WILL WIN.
How do we know?  Because NBC Pollster, and notorious Hillary Clinton sycophant, Mark Murray, is doing everything possible to try and skew data in an effort to call the race close, and prop up Clinton.  He, and the media outlets which employ him, have a history of this.

The latest evidence is a necessary skewering of the polled electorate into new categories: “Likely” and “Potential” voters (full pdf below).  This is not the same as registered vs likely, this is a new division intended entirely to aid Dame Hillary.  Beyond transparent.
The official NBC version headlines “Dem Race Tightens in California“, and indeed it is close according to their polled results.  However, the race favors Bernie, not Hillary.

Fearing Defeat Hillary Clinton Adds Emergency California Campaign Stops…

The Washington Post is reporting that Hillary Clinton has revised her entire final 10 day campaign schedule to quickly add more events in California.  A previous poll by the Public Policy Institute showed a statistical tie between Clinton and Sanders among likely Democrat voters. Clinton had 46% support, Sanders had 44%, and the margin of error was plus or minus 5.7 percentage points.
(Via WaPo) Hillary Clinton has upended her campaign schedule, adding more stops in California, in an effort to prevent an embarrassing loss there to Bernie Sanders, her rival for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Clinton originally planned to campaign for two days this week in New Jersey, but at the last minute canceled an event on Thursday and will instead return to California for a five-day swing. (more…)

UPDATE: **No Debate** – DNC Leadership Starts Freaking Out as Tech Company Puts Up $10 Million For Trump-Sanders Debate…

update-1Update 4:00pm EDT:  The Donald Trump campaign has declined the Bernie Sanders invitation to debate.  “it would be inappropriate“:

Unfortunately (because many of us wanted the alternate), the smart play argument won out.
By candidate Donald Trump initially entertaining the Sanders invite the media storm elevated Sanders California profile. As a consequence, by declining the debate Trump initiates a sympathetic energy release amid the electorate toward Bernie which will, most assuredly, ensure Sanders wins the California primary against Clinton.
The long game of Clinton’s nominee marginalization is better served with Sanders winning the CA primary.  A well played maneuver of strategic political chess.

Senator Bernie Sanders Discusses Possible Trump Debate on Jimmy Kimmel Show (video)…

Senator Bernie Sanders appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live one night after the possibility of a Trump -vs- Sanders debate was proposed and Trump being open to it.
Unfortunately, Democrat party rules forbid any Democrat candidate from participating in unsanctioned debates, so it would be challenging to pull it off. In addition the DNC is fully supporting Hillary Clinton to the diminishment of Sanders; so no help there.
However, that said, Bernie sees an opening to marginalize his opponent Hillary, and Trump is a rogue and happy wolverine – so perhaps anything is possible.
Also in the video, Bernie is none to happy with Clinton appointing herself the winner of the Democrat race.  As The Bern says: “there’s a little bit of arrogance there”.  Gee, ya think?:

A Trump-Sanders Debate Would Be Unprecedented – And Also Hillary's Worst Nightmare…

The possibility of a Donald Trump -vs- Bernie Sanders debate is being seriously bantered following both campaigns agreeing to discuss and see if they could get it done prior to the June 7th California primary.
Traditional political thinkers would consider such a proposition unfathomable because Republican candidate Trump has secured the nomination, and generally only Democrat candidate Bernie Sanders would have the largest upside. However, the complete and total reality of Hillary Clinton being made irrelevant is almost too splendid to pass up.

Hillary refused to debate Bernie, and now she would be cast far, far off on the sidelines for what would be a historic political event.   The ramifications are gobsmacking to contemplate. (more…)

Tripwire Alert – Signals Intelligence Indicates Wall Street Dropping Hillary Clinton…

FIRST, if you have not followed the “Tripwire Series” this update might take a while to fully digest.  There are key indications the real presidential decision-makers have shifted.
I would strongly suggest you watch this video before continuing, and remind yourself that Andrea Mitchell is Alan Greenspan’s wife (this is one of the “keys” moving forward).
The video is Mika Brezinski outlining the latest State Department report on the Hillary Clinton E-Mail Scandal:  “it feels like Hillary Clinton is lying”…


Last year, against tremendous opposition, we outlined what would happen if two specific occurrences took place:  #1) If Donald Trump secured the GOP nomination; and, #2) If Hillary Clinton crossed a particular threshold and appeared “unelectable”.
What we stated then, eerily remains today. (more…)
