Bernie is +70 delegates post March 15. He gained more in Idaho and Utah than he lost in New York.

Arizona: Hillary +9
Idaho: Bernie +13
Utah: Bernie +21
Alaska: Bernie +10
Hawaii: Bernie +9
Washington: Bernie +47
Wisconsin: Bernie +10
Wyoming: Even
New York: Hillary +31
Total Post March 15: Bernie +70

He now needs 819 out of the remaining 1400 (= 58.5%) in order to win a majority of pledged delegates. Difficult, no doubt, but not impossible.

But it's time to back off on bombastic attacks against Hillary
and start talking about his issues again like he did
at the beginning.
I hope continues to hold his rallies and speak out about his issues.
The smears and attacks need to stop tho.

that 58.5% is not impossible. Difficult, yes, but not impossible.

So unless we want to skip elections (skip democracy) and let polling companies pick our leaders then we need to let the election play out and whoever wins will win.

9. Hillary gained another 300,000 votes yesterday. Nearly 3,000,000 more than Sanders.

She'll gain even more next Tuesday.

Hope that she will fall is full on delusion.

13. I'm not going to like *anything* until we turn around the horrendous trajectory of our country.

So, yes, you're probably right, I'm not going to like the results next week. Even if Bernie pulls off an amazing fourth quarter and wins it I'm still not going to like how screwed up our "democracy" is. It sucks.

For some of us, this rigged system is more than a football game - and no, we're not happy, and won't be until working class people have the laws and elected officials on their side. It's not that 'we're with Bernie' - it's that Bernie's with US.
