Examples of delegates in a Sentence

1. Biden Sanders:

   It is really sad that the Democratic Party of Iowa, if I may say so, screwed up the counting process quite so badly, we ended up winning the popular vote by 6,000. They have a realignment process, as you know, in Iowa ; we won that by 2,500. And I suspect at the end of the day, Mr. Pete Buttigieg and I will have an equal number of delegates at the national convention.

2. Kristina Hooper:

   I would expect some market jitters if Bernie Sanders continues to accumulate delegates and has any kind of high-profile primary wins, it could create a selloff in the SP 500.

3. Andrew Beeler:

   There’s a 90% loss of your delegates if your primary is held before March 1. So if this becomes law, no Republican candidate for president is going to come to Michigan to campaign.

4. Matt Moore:

   I hope all national delegates use common sense and don’t accept any form of benefit. That would corrupt the process, this needs to be an honest system, not a system that is corrupted.

5. Hillary Clinton:

   Hillary Clinton got what she needed in New York, a solid victory that stopped Bernie Sanders’s weeks-long winning streak … By the end of next week’s contests in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Delaware, her lead in pledged delegates in all likelihood will be insurmountable … [ By May ] turning around public perceptions will be crucial if she hopes not just to win the presidency but to be able to rally the country behind her agenda … Trump’s problems do not diminish the fact that, standing alone, Hillary Clinton looks much weaker than recent nominees … The damage to Hillary Clinton from her battle with Bernie Sanders is borne out in the latest NBC News-Wall Street Journal poll. The longer this race has gone on, the more Hillary Clinton has shown vulnerabilities. The top-line number that caught the eyes of so many analysts shows Hillary Clinton now in a dead heat with [ Bernie ] Sanders nationally — ahead of Bernie Sanders by just two percentage points, 50 to 48percent.
