The response at the bottom is my reaction to the meme. LOL

1. #BernieMath!

13. One of our favorite shows!!!!!!

[fleabiscuit]

4. Hmm...

The myth, the boloney, the delusions, and the psychotics are now on all Bernie’s personalities.

TFTF them.

[Lisa0825]

5. Goalposts be moving... more and more all the time. nt

6. The ways they are trying to spin the delegate math is sad...

In their eyes, somehow Clinton has a long ways to go, but Bernie, who is around 230+ delegates behind, doesn't. They left out that Clinton needed about 43-44% of the remaining delegates to have a majority.

Depression is going to hit them when they realize that 29% of the remaining delegates will be at stake on Tuesday and the polls favor Clinton in most of the states. Now I just need to figure out what type of wine I'm going to have with their whine.

[Lisa0825]

10. Yeah, it's like a parallel universe in which the laws of math apply in opposite ways to each of them

[CajunBlazer]

7. BS

Interesting how BS is not only Sanders initials, it also stand for the quality of Bernie math

First of all the math is wrong and does not include NY. I will put together an OP with the correct numbers soon.

Second they're talking about a "contested convention" as one where Hillary wins many more pledged delegates, but not enough to win the nomination outright without the super delegates.

However, a convention is not "contested" unless it is not settled on the first vote. Whether or not Hillary locks down the nomination before the convention, there will be only one vote. Whether or not she has enough pledged delegates or not, the nomination process will be over after one round of voting when the super delegates vote with everyone else.

Bottom line, the Sanders campaign can call that a "contested convention" if they would like, but Bernie is destined to go down to defeat very early on regardless. Unless he behaves himself, he won't even be invited to speak at the convention.

8. I know...

I thought about trying to debate the post's points, but I know they are grasping at straws now, and nothing I could say would matter, so I just left it at SMH.

[Cha]

12. I so hope he doesn't get to speak @ our Democratic Convention.. he's trying to make it ugly

to be a Dem.. why should he?

He's not going to succeed.. he's going to be on the junk pile of history. It could have so gone the other way but I guess that wouldn't have been BS, would it have?

[SaschaHM]

14. He's probably going to get a speaking spot in the afternoon at this point.

I doubt any of his surrogates or Jane will get to say anything though.

[CajunBlazer]

30. If he is still contesting the nomination I don't think he will get a speaking spot

Now if he is a good boy and agrees to endorse Hillary strongly, He may get a spot to do that. If he is just going to give is same tiresome stump speech, who wants to hear that again?

[MADem]

16. There's always a vote. He'll just lose on the 1st ballot, if he doesn't want to be cool and

release his delegates so they can present a unified front to the world.

And when it's obvious that one candidate is way ahead of the other, and there's no hope, they'll do it by acclamation.

No matter if he's a spoilsport or gracious, it's going to be over in one vote. The big question will be "Which state gets the honor of 'putting her over the top?'" NY? IL? AR?


That SandersMath business is pretty sad, though--I can't believe they really believe that. It reminds me of the way Bernie Madoff used to con his customers.

[Treant]

9. I have a headache.

This isn't spin. This isn't optimism. This is just flat out lying.

They'll claim a stolen convention, of course, based on math that's flat out intentionally wrong.

[Lisa0825]

11. Here... this may help...

[Rose Siding]

25. Yeah, but it gets passed around like it's true

It's pretty easy to convince a group that already feels aggrieved that they have another grievance.

They're are already organizing to disrupt the convention.

Love the part about how it is all "intended" to be peaceful. Now Bernie's on the morning show talking about how the DNC has been unfair to him. He is a real piece of work. He'd have to be stupid not to know he sits on a powder keg.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

28. And boy do they lack a sense of perspective

This is nothing like 1968. There is no draft and it's pretty much guaranteed the person with the most votes will get the nomination.

[jmowreader]

15. The math is very simple, and very wrong

Bernie intends to contest the convention UNLESS she breaks 2383 pledged delegates. That's the first part.

The second is, if Bernie can hit 2383 total by flipping Hillary superdelegates even if she's ahead of him in pledged delegates, he's won the nomination.

Let's pull a couple numbers out of the air. If Hillary shows up in Philadelphia with 2345 pledged delegates - no, I don't think she will, probably more like 2100-2200 - Bernie will challenge every delegate and, if his crew is to be believed, attempt to get some of those people to defect.

Incidentally, the little graphic that pops up when you google "Democratic delegate count" shows that if Hillary can earn 453 delegates on Tuesday, she's got what she needs to take the nomination without factoring in CA or NJ.

18. Thank you for this. I need something to post to my Sanders FB friends.

This morning's delusion is that if Bernie wins 75% of the vote in California he will have more delegates than Hillary.

Fantasy Land.

[jmowreader]

22. Explain this delusion...

Is it that Sanders would have more delegates if he wins 75 percent of CA, or that he could win 75 percent of a state that isn't 95 percent white? Inquiring mind want to know!

[Thinkingabout]

17. Hillary will have more pledged delegates than Sanders, she already has more

Super delegates, doesn't matter, more plus more, majority of the delegates will be established in the first vote, ergo, there will nit be a contested DNC convention. The GOP just may have a contested convention but not the DNC this year.

[Stuckinthebush]

24. The contested convention BS

Is just that. Bullshit.

The Dem rules don't distinguish between pledged and unpledged in voting. Both vote at the same time with their states delegations. Therefore Hillary will easily win the nomination before they get to the last states in the roll call.

[IamMab]

19. Maybe it's fun for them to pretend Clinton has a higher bar to meet than Bernie? Even when not true?

IDK, getting inside the "mind" of a BernieBro isn't something I want to try to waste any more time on this primary campaign. By every metric except for blind faith, Bernie has lost.

[KitSileya]

20. At one point, you start to wonder if it's just a joke,

then you realize they are dead serious. And that should make all of us very afraid - these are adults in our society, raising children, going to job, voting.

[Fla Dem]

21. Some are RW trolls to keep the "fighting" going.

[SharonClark]

23. Well, that is silly and just plain wrong.

[Agnosticsherbet]

26. Not an emoji, but.

?

[Lisa0825]

29. Perfect, thanks!!! Will save it for later, as I am sure I'll have a chance to use it again. nt

[Agnosticsherbet]

27. The whole contested convention meme is, of course, false.
