Bernie Sanders-even after Wisconsin-the math is not there for him to close this gap.

[amrchaos]

Bernie Sanders just claimed another victory in Wisconsin tonight, after having a run on the smaller caucus states. So does this suggest he has a chance at winning the nomination? No not at all. Democrat delegates are split in every state proportionately. So right now Hillary Clinton has 1778 to Sanders 1097. So he's still 681 delegates behind Hillary Clinton.

Sanders has had success in these smaller caucus states, because they typically produce less than 1% of the party that bothers to show up at a 3 hour meeting to sit around and cast a vote. They are really the worst case of voter disenfranchisement in this country today. Typically the underdog candidate will win these, because underdog supporters will show up to vote. Had these caucus states been primary states, where several days of voting are allowed at the voters convenience, along with mail in ballots, Hillary Clinton would have won all of those,and Sanders would be a distant memory right now. I imagine Bernie Sanders will win Wyoming on Saturday, the smallest delegate state in this country, but it's still not going to put a dent into her lead.

We are headed into large CLOSED primary states where Bernie Sanders has been getting clobbered. New York & Pennsylvania. She will gain on him in these large closed primaries. Then after all of this we head into another closed Presidential primary, the big one in June- California.

Democrat Super Delegates. 700 of them--580 already soft pledged to Hillary Clinton.. They are not going to move over for Sanders, someone who just changed their party status to run on the Democrat ticket. They also know that he would get creamed in a National election, so they'll be staying in Hillary Clinton's corner. Plus to date she still has a 2+ million popular vote lead among Democrats.

Regardless of these polls that have turned out to be a world wide disaster, and Sanders who always states showing him beating Donald Trump. No one can really believe that this country would ever elect a recognized and confirmed socialist. This country is center, it al

Technically--it is mathematically impossible for Bernie Sanders to close this gap and win the nomination at this time. A Bernie Sanders rally at this point in time, is just a side show.
Bernie Sanders’s path to the nomination is getting very narrow
It’s Really Hard To Get Bernie Sanders 988 More Delegates

========
The math may not be there but it is only because the " media " continues counting EVERY superdelegate for Clinton, even though some have already said they have switched to Bernie.

Without the superdelegates the race is extremely close.

Close if you call a 282 pledged delegate lead when he's won 1088 pledged.

Hillary won 1230 and there are over 2000 left?

I must have messed up the math.

280/2000 is 14 percent men in Sanders has to win 57% to Hillary's 43% to tie in state unpled delagtes.

I thought the s?spread was 150, given 54% to Hillary's 46%

Super delegates not counted

Sanders is less than 300 WON delegates behind Clinton, with nearly 2,000 still unselected, and you are insisting he cannot win?

Lol, he has a much better chance than Ted Cruz and the media has decided that Cruz has already won, roflmao.

Democrat Party elite fail to comprehend that if they throw Nutty Old Uncle Bernie under the bus the vast majority of his young supporters will either stay at home playing video games on election night - or cast a ballot for whatever Republican is on tap just to do a little "educating" of said elite.

It’s Really Hard To Get Bernie Sanders 988 More Delegates

Look, if this nomination process had not begun in the south, Bernie would be well ahead of Hillary right now in pledged delegates. Hillary's ace in the hole has been the black vote who have been the deciding factor in her early big wins. That single demographic and super delegates are the only things that has given her such a big advantage. That's hardly impressive.

Also, for you to downplay Bernie supporters like you are is so incredibly lame and disingenuous. Here are some facts about Bernie's campaign:

1) He has outraised every republican in the race without the aid of super PAC funding. Had Hillary gone this route, she would be severely underfunded.

2) Bernie since near the beginning of the race has beaten every republican in hypothetical match up polls. Hillary has only managed to beat Trump in these polls and Bernie beats Trump by wider margins.

3) It's interesting you mention Bernie's performance in closed caucus states vs his performance in open primaries. It demonstrates his popularity among independents.

4) He is the only candidate in his entire race with a favorability rating.

Bernie has never had greater support than Hillary. and you might recall he got his butt kicked in the Carolinas. I think that's the south. so I'm not quite sure what you're talking about. he says some decent things, but his lack of knowledge on important issues is bizarre given his lifetime in congress.

no socialist jew is going to win the presidency.

Never greater support? Come on that's ridiculous. He beats every republican in hypothetical match up polls. Hillary can only manage to beat Trump and Bernie beats him by wider margins. I don't understand why you people just don't look at the actual poll data.

To an extent that's true. I don't think you can extrapolate Bernie's winning independents in caucuses though. He's winning those same states Obama won in 08. And Bernie hasn't gotten the latino vote. Plus, had Bernie not lost in Mass, Illinois, Missouri, Ohio ... he'd probably be winning, not to mention NV and AZ. So, it's not "just" the South.

Now if he can pull upsets in NY, Penn, Mary and Calif ..... maybe so. But if you look at the map today, he's taking William Jennings Bryan type states, and that ain't gonna cut it.

I am also extrapolating from the general election match up polls where he beats every republican.

Lol, he has a much better chance than Ted Cruz and the media has decided that Cruz has already won, roflmao.

She has 450 pledged Democrat Super delegates that is going to grow substantially, and another 180 soft pledged. This number is going to grow substantially, especially after Sanders was out there stating she was unqualified to be POTUS. There's only 2 small caucus states left. One is today, Wyoming which he'll probably win, due to extremely low voter participation. Typically underdogs win these states, because only underdog supporters are willing to put up with the pain of sitting around a 3 hour meeting to cast a vote.

Now Donald Trump is out there repeating the Sanders unqualified statement. This is politics 101. When you have a candidate in a race that gets desperate, like Bernie Sanders is doing, they assault the candidate they're running against with ridiculous allegations, and then Republicans pick up and run with them. Donald Trump is using the words that just came out of Bernie Sanders mouth. The longer Sanders stays in this race, the more ridiculous assault's he'll make, and the more it hurts her in the General. This is what & who you're supporting now.

If there's anyone that's not qualified to be POTUS--it's Bernie Sanders, whom no one heard of until he changed his party status to Democrat to run on this ticket. He's had 25 years to make a name for himself and he didn't. He has absolutely no executive experience what-so-ever, which is critical for a President to have. He's been nothing more than a yay, nay and present voter in the Senate for the last 25 years. A typical candidate that has no accomplishments or real record to run on that comes out making all kinds of promises, that he knows doesn't have a snowballs chance in hell of making it through the Senate or House. Not even the most Liberal Democrat in Washington D.C. would ever vote for free college tuition, let alone any Republican. He has exploited the political ignorance of his supporters for votes and money.

Sanders should do the right thing now and drop out of this race, as many other candidates have done before him, to save the prospects of winning the White House. He's only staying in for more campaign donations, that you can be assured, he won't be sharing with other Democrats seeking elected seats. Which is just another reason why Democrat super delegates all 700 of them won't be switching from the party faithful, Hillary Clinton, to Bernie Sanders.
