The Democratic Party's Hypocrisy is on Parade in Iowa

February 12, 2020 11:11pm

There is tremendous irony in the fact that Democrats continue to complain about how Hillary Clinton received more votes in 2016 than Donald Trump, but Trump got more Electoral College votes - and thus won the presidency.

In the Iowa Caucuses, Bernie Sanders received 2568 more votes than Pete Buttigieg (45,842 - 43,274). But Buttigieg got 14 delegates, and Bernie got 12.

Now let's have some fun with history and math:

Buttigieg got 5.6% fewer votes, but he was allocated 16.6% more delegates.

In 2016, Trump got 4.3% fewer votes than Hillary (65,853,516 - 62,984,825), but he was allocated 29.9% more Electoral College votes (304 - 234*).

And yet Democrats think the Constitution of the United States is unjust, but their party's caucus rules are fair?

Oh, the hypocrisy!

* This is the total earned on Election Day. Since seven Clinton electors didn't cast their electoral ballots for Clinton or Trump, the actual Electoral College victory for Trump was 304 - 227.
