A Look at the Patterns of the Democratic Primary and Why They Support a Sanders ComebackVery worth reading, with state by state guesses. IT'S TIME TO DOUBLE DOWN!!!!
To summarize:
He's won every state w/low AA turnout except Iowa [where we know there was extensive cheating]
He's won every state with high internet use except Virginia
When they have both factors, he wins big (except Iowa)
His youth turnout has been close to Obama's (minor factor)
He's won or come close (except Virginia) in every state w/income above average (minor factor)
"There you have it, folks. On the lower end of optimistic projections, Bernie wins by a tight 30 delegates. However, its very likely that, taking states that he has the potential to win big in similar to Kansas, he could score higher. Scoring high in small states and losing by, say, 5% in New York/Pennsylvania would still earn him a win. Theres also the scenario in which he knocks Clinton out of the water in Washington and Oregon, which is something that any Clinton fan still reading this should probably be worried about given how progressive those two states are.
In conclusion, You can say hes doomed all you want, but the patterns of the race give Sanders a fair chance as long as his supporters keep pushing. To any Bernie fans still dazed by the hit on the 15th, time to put some pep in your step soldiers! Youve got phone banking to do!"

(5,668 posts)4 delegates which if counted as points 4 points is within most polls margin of error (5) totally call that a Tie.
But right now I have him maybe a 70 % chance of winning.. Big issue is those crazy H people. wow itchy trigger finger on the alert button. I guess moving the alert limit means they can alert more often. Yeah some of them are begging for it , but unless it crosses the line I'm not giving it to them nevermind in context. Next time I read Jesus had really long flowing hair on the internet the girls will all swoon.

(4,753 posts)then in reality, Bernie is indeed better positioned to win the nomination than is currently perceived. The desperation embodied in Hillary's anti-democratic actions to willfully sabotage a campaign speaks volumes regarding how Hillary holds her chances of winning and how little regard she holds for our democratic processes and principals.
I do hope Bernie can flush out all Hillary saboteurs from his campaign before they do enough damage to succeed in their mission to kill the will of the people.

(6,323 posts)The worst thing that could happen is that his momentum and what he started wither away. I'm switching to Independent and will always fight for the 99% and do the right thing by my friends and neighbors, brothers and sisters.
Voting in Millionaires is not it, especially, lying, cheating corrupt millionaires.
The Dems havn't been able to do a significant job in 30+ years for the 99% and we're supposed to believe they're going to change overnight because Hillary has flip flopped so she parrots Bernie's proposals?
Nah. It's not going to change. The people have just voted to continue the status quo.
They have done a number on the US population by fucking up education for decades and now we're they are reaping their rewards. The sheeple will follow.
I'm getting off this ship of fools and I'm certainly not spending another dime on DU.
