While he says "It would be a steep climb" he also says he believes that it is possible to win a majority of the pledged delegates. That's a DAMN LIE!!! Either that or the man is certifiably delusional.

of honesty is now lying to his supporters and giving them false hope. They get more and more entrenched in the dead-solid belief that they can't possibly lose, prodded along by Sanders, that when reality starts to set it, they can't cope. We're seeing the results.

Kornacki was showing how impossible this "steep path" is. They were ALL saying he's done. Hell, even Chuck Todd said that by the 26th of last month, there was no hope of any kind of win for Sanders.

Not a thing he or any of his followers can do to change things. No screaming or stamping of feet will make a difference.

Come November 8th, he'll be just like Donald Trump: a paragraph in President-elect Hillary Clinton's Wikipedia entry.

Showed up in Nevada and the chair person had the knowledge there were more Hillary supporters and therefore any motion would have gone with the Hillary supporters. Math is not hard.

What sanders and weaver is doing he's making this false statements to his supporters so he can do one last grifting of their money and put the money from this race vs Hillary into his re-election bid in 2018. DNC isn't bound to help him with his debt since he only cacuses with them. He knows DNC and Hillary won't help him paying it off after what happen today.
