I feel sorry for the grass on the field, it has to be taking some damage with as much and as far as the goalposts have been moved.

Bernie winning 45% of delegates is called, in the common language, "losing," and leads directly to a Clinton win in July. Duh.

Back Bench Bernie would be the Goldwater/McGovern/Mondale of 2016. The super delegates know this and they'd never overrule a majority of the primary voters to insure a 40+ state loss.

In 1988, Michael Dukakis came out of the convention with a 17 point lead. By a week or 2 after Labor Day everybody, likely including Dukakis, knew that he was toast. The scary thing is that Michael Dukakis was a better candidate than Sanders will ever be!

PEACE!
