Unstoppable

This is exactly what I'm saying about Sanders being screwed:

Curious, if Sanders quits but Hilary gets disqualified just before the last election, do Republicans win by default or does Sanders get brought back since he was doing the 2nd best? This reeks of WWE level storyline

 

Mar 5, 2016

There's absolutely no chance Hilary gets disqualified whatever happens. The establishment wouldn't allow it because it would play straight into Trump's hands.

(I would like to add that I'm not a Trump supporter. It's simply the truth.)

hillary finna win, its either her or trump

 

Mar 5, 2016

Sooooo any opinions change tonight? I still say Sanders is a lost cause. Look at the results in all these states, he is not getting the black vote he's been working 24/7 to get

 

Mar 5, 2016

Bernie won Kansas and Nebraska. He's definitely not a lost cause. He can win Maine next.

 

Mar 6, 2016

He did win those states but he's further back in the delegate hunt than he was prior to Saturday. It's not just about winning states anymore for Bernie, he needs to win by big margins which he isn't getting.

 

Mar 6, 2016

Him winning those 2 states along with Maine backs up my point that he's not a lost cause. We know he's behind, but I believe he can still catch up. It's going to be a very close race between Hillary and Bernie IMO.

 

Mar 7, 2016

this will be close. but for bernie to win, he's banking on a blowout in california. if he can take 3/4ths of the delegates from california, he can pull it out

 

Mar 7, 2016

New York is Clinton land though, Cali can't save him if the other states beforehand favor Hilary

 

Mar 7, 2016

i wouldn't say that. i live in nyc. i know she has cuomo and de blasio in her court but no new yorkers like either of them and out of everyone i know, everyone is split between bernie or trump. i know maybe one or two people who are actually voting for hillary

she isn't going to win nyc, maybe some upstate areas but if she wins new york it will be a split

If you still think Bernie doesn't have a shot at the White House after tonights win, you're crazy. It's f---ing happening!

 

Mar 9, 2016

There's always a shot but his chances aren't good. Yeah, he pulled off a stunning upset in Michigan but at the same time, he only won by 2 percentage points. Sanders won 65 delegates while Clinton won 58. That difference is nothing.... Especially considering how far behind Sanders really is. Clinton won Mississippi today by 66 percentage points. Clinton won 29 delegates while Bernie just won 4. So at the end of the day, even though Bernie pulled off a historic upset, the math is still troubling for him. He's further behind Clinton now than he was yesterday. That's not good lol.

"The difference is nothing", lmao. But Iowa was an important win for Clinton. Okay. Look, Clinton has 2 southern states left. After March 15th, per your buddy at 538, the map turns HEAVILY in favor of Sanders. You can't deny that. There has NEVER been a primary so southern-first oriented. "Super Tuesday" in 08 i think had like 1 or 2 southern states tops. Mark my words, Clinton's biggest delegate lead will be March 16th, and from that moment on Bernie will be chipping away at it. He has already proven he can beat polls by 20/30+ %, and if after March 16th he wins the rest of the Midwest and west like he has been, he could definitely come back. If you take away the southern states (it is worht noting because those are the states that are left), Sanders win 54% of the popular vote.This was Clinton's chance to ice him, and she failed, and my state came thru. It's okay, even Nate Silver has accepted last night. You can too. lol

 

Mar 9, 2016

California is the determining factor here. He could very well walk away with all of the delegates and that would be the end of it

 

Mar 9, 2016

That's a stretch, imo. He could win California, yes. I think he will. But not significantly enough to make up the current deficit. He needs the 20-some states between now and then to favor him. Make next Tuesday as painless as possible (Clinton will win more delegates, for sure), outperform the polls again (go MI!) and win the remaining states 55/45. I think he can do that. Washington, Oregon, Wisconsin, are all looking pretty d--- good for him already.

 

Mar 9, 2016

Where did I say Iowa was a big win for Clinton? It meant more to Bernie than it did for Clinton. It was a state that demographically heavily favored him and he still slightly lost. If you read my post, you'd see I more than accepted the Michigan lost. It's great that Bernie pulled off a historic upset but he's still going backwards lol. At some point you need to stop taking this little "moral victories" and start gaining ground. I know as a Bernie supporter that's hard to accept but it's the truth lol. He needs to do more than just "chip away" at Hillary's lead. He needs to win some states by big margins, it hasn't been happening for him.

 

Mar 9, 2016

It has though. The states that are left have demographics that heavily favor Sanders. Period, no way to spin that. Minnesota, Colorado, Oklahoma, these are 10-20% wins in states that "look like" the states that are left after March 15th. Obviously, we shall see. But I'm not taking "moral victories", I'm looking at what's ahead and coming to the realization that he WILL start gaining ground. Why are you neglecting to address that point?

 

Mar 9, 2016

I'm not neglecting your point. Bernie very well could win upcoming states. Maybe some of them will be by solid margins but to suggest that Bernie will essentially run the table and win all these upcoming states by 10+ percentage points is unprecedented. It's wishful thinking. We've seen Bernie slightly lose states where the demographics favor him. You brought up Iowa and also Massachusetts are good example of this. As far as white democrats go Clinton/Bernie pretty much split their vote. If there's one thing Bernie can take from the Michigan win it's that he didn't get obliterated with the African-American vote. He still lost it 65-30% but that's a lot better than the 80-20% he was getting in a lot of southern states. If he can continue gaining some of the minority vote, I think his odds are a lot better. Especially when California comes around.
