out of eight of the last caucuses and primaries.

mind it. they didn't live through the called war, but to a lot of the super delegates, they don't want toic that the risk of allowing bernie sanders to win the nomination. republicans in wisconsin, they have winner take all primaries. some of them all. all the delegates went to ted cruz. in wisconsin in the democratic side the delegates were split between clinton and bernie sandersment of bernie sanders clearly got more. he will have to win very big victories to catch up to hillary clinton. part of her lead is with super delegates. they can change their mind any time they want. if suddenly sanders moves into the league among elected delegates, they may shift to him one of the two rival governments in libya is standing aside to "prevent any more bloodshed". the announcement comes days after the unity government arrived in tripoli.
