Bernie Sanders Has Huge Delegate Lead!
I have to congratulate Bernie Sanders on his huge blowout win on Super Tuesday. By my count, he now leads Hillary Clinton by 4 states to 0. Actually, not too long ago, I would have said that he was losing pretty badly, but that was before I learned about the new delegate math from several of the diaries after the South Carolina primary. Apparently, the rules for the proper new math go like this…
For the set of all numbers (Red and Blue),
For any red number x, x <= 0.
For any blue number y, y =|y|.
Therefore, Bernie has won five states and Hillary has won only one (Massachusetts) since only blue numbers can ever have a value > 0. That's why Hillary didn't win in South Carolina or any of other states because those numbers are all from the set of red numbers and red numbers are always <= 0 for the purposes of counting delegates. That is the key part of delegate math that I learned from the South Carolina primary diaries.
Now, you might ask why did I say Bernie was leading 4-0 when I should have tallied 5 -1?
Well, I'm just trying really hard to be exceptionally fair. You see, I'm sure that many Hillary supporters would argue that the Colorado numbers aren't true blue numbers because they have so frequently in the past been red. I am also sure that many Bernie supporters would argue that the Massachusetts numbers aren't true blue, even though they really do look pretty blue, because sometimes for governors they go racing away at a high rate of speed which makes them appear red because of a Doppler Shift. Rather than sit through a protracted pie fight on this with all the accompanying flags and bannings, I have decided to just drop both states from the totals.
This brings me to the grand total of 4 states won by Bernie and absolutely none won by Hillary. I must say this is quite an amazing feat by Senator Sanders. Can he possibly go the whole way and run the tables on Hillary?!
For my next diary on the new math, I will examine age old question of…
For the set of all numbers (legal),
For any USC number x, can x = Hillary?
