Even BS isn't happy about the win.
Not sure whether the author of that story is spinning or trolling: "Saturday was the first time Sanders had a bigger delegate day than Biden since Nevada’s caucuses on Feb. 22". Gotta take the wins you get. 60:40 split here, 60:40 (generous) split in Florida for Biden, let's call it a draw.

Until now, I actually thought this 100+ votes were some intermediate delegates representing some districts/precincts and thousands of actual voters because the population is considerably higher but: "134 people caucused Saturday on the Pacific island chain of about 53,000 people". 134 people for 6 delegates...So one part of that island was really won by Bernie with 3 people participating. A couple and their cat, I assume. Maybe the story just got it wrong.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
