It seems like the media is still pushing the narrative that Bernie Sanders has no shot at winning the Democratic nomination against powerhouse Hillary Clinton. Ring of Fires Farron Cousins discusses this.

Thanks in advance!

(1,134 posts)get people to believe it's a done deal & they'll hop on board to support a winner. It's disgusting the way this is being used by the Hillary campaign & media to drown out the obvious YUGE support for Bernie Sanders. But the more wins he stacks up the harder this bandwagon illusion is to maintain. The only bandwagon in town has Bernie on board & we're all in it for the ride!

(23,156 posts)given the amazing lack of enthusiasm on the part of the supposed Hillary supporters.
How many of her delegates skipped out on the next round of delegate selection the other day in Nevada? Enough to flip the delegate numbers between Bernie and Hillary.
Plus, younger voters aren't as wedded to the MSM, and they are turning out for Bernie is quite large numbers. Plus she's losing her iron grip on African American voters. Oh, and older women? I'm one, and all the older women I know who've said anything so far are all strong Bernie supporters.

... or, the count was rigged from the start? ...

(23,156 posts)never showed up for the second round. And considering that Clinton supporters running the county convention in Clark County tried to have all Sanders delegates declared alternates, you might want to re-ask that question about a rigged count.

No transparency. Just like your candidate (and you?) likes it.

(3,795 posts)You can enjoy mocking Sanders supporters to your beautiful heart's desire, but we both know it's true.
Which makes your taunts quite pathetic. Of course, your taunts would be pathetic even if our election system had integrity due to the vast difference between our two candidates.
U nasty, so Bye!! 😀

(15,370 posts)Hillary campaign" ... This explains why she is more than 2.5 million ahead in popular votes. Lack of enthusiasm. Good one.
According to RCP (their pledged delegate count is too much in HRC's favor methinks, but little matter), there are three caucuses remaining. One (WY), Bernie will likely win and the others (VI & Guam) are uncertain. But territorial caucuses have gone in Hillary's favor. Still, Hillary will get at least some delegates from these.
NY, MD, DE, CT, PA, KY, OR, NJ, NM & DC ALL have closed primaries where only registered Dems can vote. Hillary will do well to very well in most, if not all. OR is Bernie's best chance in this lot because of demographics. But since OR has a primary rather than a caucus, one should not see quite the same margins of victory as seen in some caucus states.
RI, WV & CA all have semi-closed primaries, which may mean slightly different things in those states. RI and WV could play out in Bernie's favor, but likely not with the margins of victory that he needs. Hillary will continue to pick up delegates even then. But demographics in CA - the biggest prize remaining - are primarily in Hillary's favor. Gov. Jerry Brown is also staunchly in her corner.
WI, IN, PR (another territory), MT and ND are the only states remaining with open primaries. WI & IN are the only two where fairly large numbers of delegates are at stake. Even if Bernie wins in both, the wins will have to be by double-digit margins for him to make any inroads whatsoever on Hillary's lead, especially after the big bloc of delegates represented by states with closed primaries voting in April.
SD has a semi-open primary. Demographics are in Bernie's favor there, although because it is a primary and not a caucus, the margin of victory will likely not be a blowout and Hillary will still get delegates.

(14 posts)They get their news from conversations with friends and coworkers. They don't read papers or even listen much to radio, not for news anyway.
The way Farron uses language, it's pretty clear to me he watches a good deal of cable news because the language of their twisted narrative infects his own language as he attempts to disabuse us of the corporate narrative. See George Lakoff for more.

(20,453 posts)I have to believe that these people who lie in the name of securing a nominee are the LEAST secure in their media-based marketable gum-bumping jobs.
And ANOTHER THING I've got written all over my brain is... YOU PLAY THE WHOLE FUCKING GAME (examples, Truman over Dewey, Jets over the Colts, and the 1969 New York Mets).
