I don't see why we should fall for that. Putin is probably backing both, for the same reason lobbyists give to both sides. To try to curry favor with whoever wins.

What is Sanders supposed to do to stop it?

But still be on guard against Russian hackers, and any front organizations that seek to make political donations or set up PACs.

Sanders in particular should be careful of foreign states of a socialist bent: Venezuala, China, Cuba. What they think of as "helping" would be quite the opposite if discovered.

Lmfao, BDB giving Buttigieg the good ole NYC attitude. Also probably worth noting BDB runs a city of 8.5 million, and Buttigieg ran a city of barely over 100k people.

It was contested by Bradley, a serious candidate who was briefly ahead in the polls.

(But yeah it's big)

No. 56 contest won isn't contested.

75% of the popular vote. No. No. And no.

Some black voters maybe happy but happy is relative.

Happy at his job performance or just happy he hasn't permanently damaged the US?

Besides that voters of every race in the rust belt will be happy to hear of Bernies win.

So in addition to adding words that were not there (contested) you're now moving the goalposts of what is "contested".

This is a very poor showing by you. Admit your source was wrong.

"Bernie's win is historic"
"Except uncontested races"
"Except one that was bigger but it doesn't count because it was too big, therefore uncontested"

Sorry but the word "contested" inserted in there does not make it right. 2000 was contested.

That's not contested. No one doubted Gore would be the nominee. SMH. And he won by an astounding landslide.

The reason the source didn't mention "contested" (although others do) is because the probably expect nuance. Of course incumbents have won every primary. They are a shoe in. And no 2000, was not contested.

So, only 11% is reported in but as it stands, Sanders is in first, followed by Biden and Buttigieg. Warren is having another disappointing night. Has she spoken yet?
