2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumABC News just said Hilary's campaign is bracing for a loss in Wisconsin
They said her campaign is about to send out an email telling supporters about her nearly insurmountable lead and preparing them for a loss in Wisconsin tomorrow.
Of course, ABC also had to put up a bullshit graphic claiming that Bernie had to win 73% of the remaining delegates to win the nomination, which presumes all the superdelegates pledged to Hillary will ignore the voters and vote for her at the convention.

(10,500 posts)anywhere close to 78-22.
Did you read the post I was responding to? He was predicting 78-22, like the margins in the western caucus states.
I agree he is likely to win Wisconsin, but I am thinking it will be more like 53-47.

(11,014 posts)Consider Bernie's delegate deficit as a credit card balance.
If he keeps making minimum payments each month, he will never pay off the deficit. At the moment, the minimum payment is 58% which keeps him from falling behind.
He has to make more than the minimum to make a dent in the deficit. If he doesn't, his next payment to stay afloat increases.
Also, the minimum has to be paid in hard currency of $, £, etc. (high delegate states.) Making it in Russian Rubles or Mexican Pesos doesn't do much good (low delegate states like Alaska, Utah, Idaho etc.)

Here is wider concept you might want to ponder considering you might be trying to build something
Have you ever tried to build anything with crooked walls and corners that don't match?
Mostly it turns out horribly, and when you try to sell it, nobody really wants it anyway

I am hoping that Bernie pulls 60% or higher in Wisconsin tomorrow.
