Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumI don't see this happening
With losses in both Florida, NC, and trending against him in Ohio the delegate math is getting difficult. I really thought he'd win Florida and Ohio. Illinois is close, but that is one of her many home states. *sarcasm*
I hope Bernie will be on the ballot in Oregon so I can vote for him. Barring some political crash and burn by Clinton (which I suppose could happen) she will be the nominee.
Sorry to be such a negative nelly.

(10,345 posts)That was a no go.
Besides, by all our research thus far, this is her last good day. She has no more southern states.

(41,146 posts)than Big Money to non establishment candidates like Bernie who received NO coverage while the world was bathed in Trump. Also Trump, the New Yorker is popular in southern and western states despite the obvious cultural differences. Meaning Bernie could have been known and liked there too, esp. as a populist if he'd been covered fairly by the media.
M$M has tremendous power to influence voters and elections, like nasty voter suppression and illegal vote tampering tactics. MSM is a huge problem, and what it will take to overcome is beyond me. Even with all, Bernie and supporters are doing a terrific job. The establishment Media will now beat the drums that this election is Clinton's, to further dissuade pending Bernie voters.
Thanks Reagan for ignoring the Fairness Doctrine and Clinton who deregulated the Telecoms in 1996 enabling 5 giant corporate media monopolies now. Since joining this board I've tried to counter many who believe the rest of Americans follow alternative, indy news online-- because They do. I gave up trying to reason with them about why that isn't the case.

I hate to say it, but we need one of these Clinton scandals to take her out of the race.

(1,701 posts)I feel the same way: I want to vote for Bernie even if he can't win. I feel very discouraged right now. Florida was never going to be a victory for him, but the Ohio loss is bad. I am afraid that we're in for a bad night.

(22,000 posts)It was hard for me to do much to help the campaign other than try to donate as often as I can. In fact I just sent another donation yesterday which emptied my US bank account.

(1,377 posts)She can not win vs Trump in the GE. She has too much shit stacked up by being so bought and paid for. And Trump knows this because he runs in circle of people who she took bribes from.

(22,000 posts)Then the Democrats would have no choice but to nominate Bernie.

(41,600 posts)Ohio will be closer than it is now. Besides that, he owns the West coast. From here on out, it's Bernie's.
Turn off the corrupt corporate owned MSM!
There's no fucking way she LEGALLY wins all five states.
PEACE
LOVE

(41,600 posts)To win, because his states are coming up. AZ, CA., WASHINGTON, MONTANA, OREGON...he's going to kick her ass after today.
And secondly, he's doing BETTER today than he was expected to do. He's going to win Illinois and MO. - THAT was unexpected, so he moves on in a better position than he was suppose to. He still has a path to victory
PEACE
LOVE

(2,565 posts)I fear w/o a win in Il.. it becomes almost impossible to keep people motivated.
But taking "her home state" would be a big boost.

(2,565 posts)I'm just afraid even a string of victories in states going forward is not going to change the narrative.
With Ohio going so far to Clinton, MI becomes the "odd state out" in the eyes of the media.
