Bernie's Blue Seas Paradise!

Bernie Sanders won the Northern Mariana Islands.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) got one on Saturday. He won the U.S. territory of the Northern Mariana Islands Caucuses. He will be awarded 84 delegates and former vice president Joe Biden will be awarded 47 delegates. Two delegates will still uncommitted.

Biden's victory in Michigan, Missouri, Idaho and Washington dented Sanders' bid.

Sanders still committed to running despite his chances shrinking. He believes that he still has an opportunity to win Arizona, Ohio, Illinois, Georgia, Florida and Kansas.

The Sanders Campaign admits that it was "not a good night for our campaign from a delegate point of view."

"We are winning the generational debate. While Joe Biden continues to do very well with older Americans, especially those people over 65, our campaign continues to win the vast majority of votes of younger people," said Sanders.

Hopefully, the two candidates running for the Democratic nomination address an issue that has long dogged me. Why can't the U.S. territories vote for the president?

Voting rights is a huge issue within the Sanders campaign. Thanks to the Inslaur Act of 1897, those living in the U.S. territories are prohibited from voting in the general election for president.

They only are allowed to vote for who could be their nominee and their delegate (a U.S. Representative who only votes on committee but not on floor votes).

The U.S. territories have an estimated population of 5.2 millions people.

Saipan is the largest island in the Northern Mariana Islands The island is considered a city and is the capital of the commonwealth.

American Samoa is the only U.S. territory that has an organic rule where if you're born in the territory, you're a U.S. national and must have a special passport to enter the United States. The Samoan culture only allows it dictates its rules abstained from the U.S. mainland. That is being challenged in the U.S. Courts because some who join the Armed Forces are still denied benefits and rights most American citizen get. American Samoa's delegate is Rep. Amata Catherine Coleman Radewagen (R-AS).

Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands are unincorporated territories. The delegates from these territories are Rep. Michael San Nicolas (D-GU) and Rep. Stacey Plaskett (D-VI).

Puerto Rico and the Northern Mariana Islands are self-governing U.S. territories. They are commonwealths in political union with the United States.

Puerto Rico is semi-autonomous and the only U.S. territory with a majority of its population speaking Spanish. The delegate is a U.S. Representative and Resident Commissioner. Rep. Jennifer Aydin Gonzalez Colon (R-PR).

The Northern Mariana Islands now has a U.S. Representative who is their delegate. Rep. Gregorio Sablin (D-MP).
