Yesterday
we showed you how far the
overwhelming leader in the Republican presidential race, Donald Trump, had come.
After the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary, he has 17 (seventeen!) of the 1237 delegates he
needs to win the nomination. He is 1.4 per cent of the way there!
Today, we’ll
highlight the Democratic race for delegates in which* Hillary Clinton has
garnered approximately 180,578 votes in the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire
primary (combined) and Bernie Sanders has amassed 236,394 votes. (That is, of
the approximately 417,000 votes cast for the two leading candidates, Sanders
has 56.7% and Clinton 43.3%.) This translates into 42 delegates for Sanders (of
the 2,382 he needs to win the nomination) and 394 for Clinton (and we’re
assuming she needs the same number).
As
promised, we’ll highlight . . . not
explain.

* This
assumes 171,000 voted in Democratic Iowa caucuses; the exact figures have not
been released that we know of.
