Florida is soft for him but winning MI and OH will offset it.

angrychair
(8,732 posts)Still over 20+ states that still get to vote. It isn't over until the last vote is cast on the convention floor and the FBI completes and clears HRC of all issues.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS
What the heck? Nasty post that really didn't need to be posted.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon Mar 7, 2016, 07:21 PM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It's vulgar. It's stupid. It reflects on the poster. But it doesn't offend me.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Can't wait to see it.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I believe the poster is just expressing frustration with the hourly "oh he's done now" posts, not literally suggesting that anyone specific sticks a fork up their ass.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Stop abusing the alert system. If you can't handle opposition, you might consider hanging out at the Clinton Cave.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
Just coming to post it.

(30,439 posts)If Bernie loses those 3 states, he's finished.
INdemo
(6,994 posts)and it will be close in Fl.
Hortensis
(58,785 posts)even though he will take a minority of delegates from each state. He is falling farther and farther behind with almost every state. His only chance of winning is if a rogue satellite falls on Hillary's head.
Hillary also literally has twice the popular vote he does already, you know, and is so far ahead of him in endorsements and superdelegates that, well, the falling satellite thing.
Zynx
(21,328 posts)And Hillary will smoke him by a huge margin in Florida. Even if he squeaked out Ohio, which seems unlikely, she'll be way ahead on delegates out of the three contests.
hollysmom
(5,946 posts)Would that we had a young vital person doing this (this is not an insult, these two are in my age group, Ijust have been losing a lot of friends lately and depressingly - yes, I am depressed by that). I think we have to consider that the final candidate may not even be on the radar yet.
Don't shut the barn door yet, I don't only go by delegate count, the future is hard to tell. que sera sera
Gumboot
(531 posts)... I'd say whoever counts the votes in FL & OH will decide the nominee.
We need a whole bunch of keen-eyed observers to monitor the vote in these two crucial states.
Shenanigans gonna happen? You betcha.

(18 posts)Your premise has been rejected a thousand of times, and it'll be rejected now.
INdemo
(6,994 posts)and the Corporate news have used them several times to claim a huge lead for Hillary.
Howard Dean made a very stupid statement the other day and obviously not understanding how the "Super delegates work.
"I will cast my vote for what's best for the country" after Bernie Sanders won VT by 70%

(879 posts)State wins don't matter, margin matters. That's it. Delegates are the name of the game. it's not a winner-take-all system. Winning states is symbolically important, but practically fairly worthless.
