Here are Bernie's margins in primaries that aren't closed or in the south.
Vermont +72
New Hampshire +23
Wisconsin +13
Oklahoma +10
Michigan +1
Missouri -0.2
Massachusetts -1
Illinois -2
Ohio -13
Ohio was the only one she won by more than 2 points, and a lot of Democrats voting for Kasich might have screwed Bernie there.
Those were just primaries. And of course we know Bernie does well in caucuses. The only caucus state Hillary won by more than 0.2 points, Nevada, was closed.

(1,359 posts)There are rules in place in every state, and in each state those rules could be different. Welcome to the laboratories of democracy that are our 50 states.
It is contingent upon the individual to know the laws of their state and comply accordingly. If someone misses a deadline to register, that's their fault. If their vote is so important to them, why didn't they make a greater effort to put themselves in a position to exercise it?
Only children try to argue that because they didn't know the rules that the whole contest should be thrown out or done over again, this time in their favor. Some people need to grow up and remember that systems that govern millions of voters will not be changed just for them, all because they were either too lazy or too ignorant to bother learning how the voting process in their state functions.
Since Bernie supporters only vote in presidential elections, they've got 1460 days now to fix their registration for next time. But if Bernie's not on the ballot, why would they bother, right?

(10,336 posts)sure the status of all the investigations, but under the circumstances I dismiss most of everything about his primary until the very end...Too much isn't known yet, and there are miles to go before we sleep.

Hillary has buried him on delegates.
She'll bury him a little bit deeper tomorrow.
The reason Bernie is losing is because more Democrats have voted for her.
It's really not that hard.
