This is worth a laugh and a share!
Union Veterans Council, AFL CIO
Surprise, surprise. Koch Brothers-funded Concerned Veterans for
America is passing out "Patriot" shirts at their events. Nothing
says patriotic veteran quite like shirts made outside the US and by
an exploited workforce.
Comparing the results from 2008 and 2016 tells the real story. This is not a "win" for HRC or a loss for Bernie Sanders. That is because Massachusetts is NOT a winner take all state. HRC came out of the primary with 45 delegates here and Bernie with 43. I note that real change [for those disappointed not to have some huge sweep] , as opposed to cataclysmic, unpredictable upheaval which usually hits the most vulnerable, badly, happens "line upon line" and a bit at a time. Look at these figures and you will see Bernie Sanders did better than Barack Obama in Massachusetts in a contest with -- Compare 2008 Super Tuesday in Massachusetts with the figures for 2016, below
Hillary Clinton 56.01% 55 Delegates
Barak Obama 40.64% 38 Delegates
2016 Super Tuesday in Massachusetts (99.95% of Precincts Reporting)
Hillary Clinton 50.1% 45 Delegates
Bernie Sanders 48.7% 43 Delegates
