2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumHillary is near 60% of the popular vote (exl 3/15) & ahead 300 pledged delegates, More with Supers!
Hillary Clinton is beating Bernie Sanders' badly in the Democratic primary. In the popular vote, using the data, only contests with pop votes made public,
Hillary is winning nearly 3/5s of the popular vote, even with non-Democrats voting, and that spreadsheet leaves out tonights massive Hillary victories.
Mathematically, Bernie cannot catch up.
NOW IS THE TIME FOR ALL GOOD DEMOCRATS TO COME TO THE AID OF THE PARTY AND GET BEHIND HILLARY CLINTON!

(1,446 posts)Maybe a Dem that supported Dem principles and ethics and could rally the party around that. You made your choice, I'll make mine.

(1,446 posts)He has caucused with the Dems, he has voted with the Dems on most important bills in Congress, and he is certainly the most progressive. I would consider him a true Democrat, as opposed to the other one who just uses the name but doesn't live up to it.
iandhr
(6,852 posts)He only joined the party to run for President. He is a political opportunists.
Sanders supporters aren't the gatekeepers on who is a real progressive.

(1,446 posts)Just as much as Hillary's are 85 year old grandmas making decisions that will effect the rest of us who still have lots of life to live. Maybe you should cut back on the generalizations.

(1,252 posts)But if Bernie doesn't win and the country is stuck with Hillary or Trump we will have more poverty, more war, more destruction of the Earth.

I will vote D in all the other races.
truedelphi
(32,324 posts)If you' re talking about what she did in the primaries, maybe you are right.
But you have to realize these salient points:
One: Most voters are no longer allied with either big party.
Statistically speaking, only 23 to 25% of all voters consider themeselves to be "R" loyalists.
And 34% of all voters consider themselves to be "D" voters.
That leaves some 41% of all voters to be independent in their thinking of the candidates.
Since the Primaries require you to be registered with one party or another, even if you had 60% of all registered Dems voting for her, that is only 21.4% of the popular vote.
But it is actually worse than that, because for instance today in Illinois only 32% of all voters turned out to vote in the Primaries.
So the math on it would be .32% X .34 X .6 which equals a bit less than seven percent of all voters!

NurseJackie
(42,862 posts)I wonder if his advisors are giving him a realistic analysis of the situation, or are they sugarcoating it so that they can keep their jobs longer.
I can't wait for this thing to be over.

(1,252 posts)Half of the contests haven't even happened yet. We the people want to vote. You okay with that?

Hillary Clinton's lead over Bernie Sanders is now about three times what Barack Obamas was over her in 2008 http://nyti.ms/1pKxROP
