Bernie Sanders’ chances at Democratic nomination likely to ‘bern’ down

Bernie Sanders’ chances at Democratic nomination likely to ‘bern’ down if Hillary Clinton performs well on ‘Super Tuesday

Bernie Sanders' shot at the Democratic nomination could "bern" down on "Super Tuesday" if Hillary Clinton runs the table on the critical March 1 day of primary contests.

On that day, next Tuesday, voters in 11 states and American Samoa will head to the polls and Clinton is heavily favored in all of them, except Sanders' home state of Vermont and nearby Massachusetts.

But in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Virginia - all southeastern states with large numbers of African-American voters, who overwhelmingly support Clinton - as well as in Colorado, Texas and Minnesota, the former secretary of state is the far-and-away front-runner according to slews of polls.

"If you look at the pure mathematics and demographics of these states on March 1, I don't think he turns the tide and creates the level of political momentum he needs to win, like the levels he experienced after New Hampshire," Rodell Mollineau, a partner at political strategy firm Rokk Solutions, told the Daily News of Sanders' chances on "Super Tuesday."

Post after negative post about Bernie. Have you nothing positive to post about H?

Anyway.... the prognostications about Bernie from the negative down under, have pretty much proved to be ALL wrong. It's not just a bad record, it is like listening to a bad record from the down under. Give us a break already. Your posts do not make H fans look good. Maybe that's your plan?

I hope you're able to get through this, accept Hillary as our candidate and be happy that Democrats will hold the White House in 2016 with a good chance of taking the Senate majority, as well.

We've been hearing that same claptrap for months now and Bernie is already above H in the # of votes.

The last few months have been very bad for Hillary, I get why some of yall are running around with your hair-on-fire, Berning up!
