It ain't over til it's over.

It shouldn't need to be spelled out this early but some people are very afraid
of the primary running its course even though they think their candidate is a
shoo-in. Thanks for posting.

in the general election should she be the nominee, as is about 99% certain. Our side winning in November is the most important consideration.

We're now at a stage where the real numbers apply. Votes and delegates.

If Sanders plays nice, I'm sure Clinton would be happy to play nice too.

No more accusing her of breaking the law, crap like that.

Run a positive campaign on the issues. He shouldn't be talking about her only the issues.

"Run a positive campaign on the issues. He shouldn't be talking about her only the issues."

Hillary's campaign of working to "disqualify" Bernie after he won Wisconsin is what started this recent downward trend.

them.

I can practically guarantee that if he says nothing bad about her, she'll reciprocate.

the idea of "getting into who's to blame."

left to the Republican primaries.

Along with attack haiku and demeaning nicknames.

I think he should go back to talking about things like the need for
income equality and climate change legislation.

Keep his rallies going and start drawing a sharp line between the Democrats and the GOP.

Work on getting some of his issues prioritized and be in position to
really contribute to the platform.

We told you this awhile ago when he had to run the table at around 56%, now it's up to 58% or so. If projections hold (barring Michigan, they are pretty accurate) and Hillary takes 4 and they split RI next Tuesday, that puts Sanders up needing 62% of the rest.

I realize that for the generation used to getting participation trophies and where nobody fails a class anymore because F's lead to hurt feelings, this is tough pill to swallow, but...sometimes in life, you come in 2nd.

it's about probabilities.

It's possible O'Malley could restart his campaign, and win 100% of the vote in all remaining states, becoming the nominee.

It's mathematically possible... so does that mean O'Malley should get back in because he has a chance to win? No. Because the probability is so low as to be virtually impossible.

It's mathematically possible that Bernie will only give up another 60 delegates between now and CA, and it's mathematically possible he will win California by 82% to 18%. But it is it probably, or likely, or even remotely possible? No. It's a virtual impossibility.


Everything from this point forward for Bernie is just about either ego, or jockeying for position in Clinton's administration, or keeping the money flowing to him and his friends. He has no reason to stay in the race.

He will drop out after he gets demolished next week and starts to become a laughing stock.

Bernie has no chance to win.

He faces a MORE difficult race in 5 states next week than he did this week in NY. To have any indication that he could pull it off, he needed to win NY. He will be 300 delegates down a week from now. And he's behind in CA and NJ.

What chance does he have? You know he has none when people keep putting the word "mathematically" before the word 'possible'.

It's mathematically possible Kate Upton is going to be waiting in my car naked when I get out of work, profess her love for me and drag me into the back seat. Is it going to happen? No. Neither is Bernie winning the nomination.

Time to cut his losses.

... and has done next to nothing for the Democratic establishment that he despises (aka, superdelegates), how many of HRC's supers do you think Sanders is going to steal?

He's a hint: it rhymes with Nero.

exceed that of Hillary's it wouldn't be "stealing."

Furthermore you can't "steal" any superdelegates if he or she gives themselves willingly.

The majority for two years of that specific congress, as opposed to the minority. Do you think the Dem establishment benefited from that at all? Gee, I sure do. All of the committees were chaired by Dems instead of Repubs, do you think that mattered? One person was responsible for that, guess who?

Some of those Dems are probably still grateful for that, and any number of other things he has done in 26 years of caucusing with the Dems and almost always voting with them. But that's nothing, right?

Bernie doesn't even mention favors like giving Dems the majority, which is why most grassroots Dems don't know about it, but Hillary keeps track of every little favor she does and every little slight very carefully and never forgets either...

So at the very least, she has one super deligate locked down.

with you.

LOL

fine until 2020.

Peace to you.

Here's what you STILL haven't figured out:

Voters LIKE Hillary Clinton.

Elected and Party Officials LIKE Hillary Clinton.

Would they shift to Sanders if he won the popular vote? Most of them probably would.

But he's not. And he won't

As I stated many things can happen between now and then, some foreseen and much not anticipated.

You have no crystal ball.
