Bernie Sanders Issues Statement Raising Doubts That Hillary Clinton Will Be The Nominee
After Hillary Clinton had told CNN that she will be the Democratic nominee, Sen. Bernie Sanders issued a statement where he painted the Democratic nomination as still up for grabs.
In response to former Sec. of State Hillary Clinton telling CNN that she will be the Democratic nominee, Sen. Bernie Sanders said, In the past three weeks voters in Indiana, West Virginia, and Oregon respectfully disagreed with Secretary Clinton. We expect voters in the remaining eight contests also will disagree. And with almost every national and state poll showing Sen. Sanders doing much, much better than Secretary Clinton against Donald Trump, it is clear that millions of Americans have growing doubts about the Clinton campaign.
The Sanders campaign was implying that there is still some room for debate about who will be the Democratic nominee, but that room for debate is 4%. Hillary Clinton is 96% of the way to clinching the Democratic nomination. Sen. Sanders did win in Oregon, Indiana, and West Virginia, but Hillary Clinton won in Guam and Kentucky, so the Democratic voters in those contests disagreed with Sen. Sanders.
At some point, the denial of basic math begins to look silly. Sen. Sanders should stay in the race. He has an important message on the issues that he should deliver to every remaining Democratic primary voter, but Bernie Sanders is not going to be the Democratic nominee.
.......................
Sen. Sanders is keeping his promise to fight until every ballot has been cast, but his claim that there is still any doubt about who will be the Democratic nominee is not realistic. By no later than June 7, Hillary Clinton will have enough delegate support to be the Democratic nominee.

@srjones66 @politicususa stalling for time for mischief. From the one who knows his 💩

(27,815 posts)I can appreciate how depressing it must be to go through a grueling year of campaigning, only to lose in the end.
But "unhinged" is the appropriate word at this point.
griffi94
(3,733 posts)He knows he's not going to win.
I think he just can't let go because he's spent the majority
of his career not having any attention paid to him.
Suddenly he's a rockstart and he likes that validation.

(27,815 posts)The funny-sounding senator from Vermont, Mr. "Nobody Knows Me", suddenly found himself to be the center of attention - and he just doesn't want to see the spotlight fade. Understandable.
But for the past few months, he has seen the numbers, has seen the writing on the wall, and has simply refused to allow reality to interfere with his delusions.
Unhinged: Insisting that while he continues to attack the Party he is allegedly running for, the SDs - long-time Party loyalists - are going to hand him the nomination on a silver platter.

(3,733 posts)Bernie hasn't had a path to the nomination since Super Tuesday.
He was blown out in all those delegate rich states by
huge margins and it hasn't been close since.
His campaign and his supporters have put together some
wins.
Too bad they can't seem to grasp delegate math.

(3,733 posts)It will be contested in that neither candidate will have enough pledged and unpledged
delegates to go over the top.
Hillary will go over the top on the first ballot.
The way he's interpreting it to his fans is that
it will be a brokered convention.
Where there's no winner after the first ballot and the delegates are released.
That's just a fantasy on his part.

(1,999 posts)...Clinton will absolutely have enough combined pledged and unpledged delegates (aka "superdelegates" to pass the 2,384 threshold by a huge margin. She'll likely have in excess of 2,200 pledged delegates. And while it's unlikely in the extreme (albeit more likely than a Sanders victory), it's still mathematically possible for her to secure the nomination on pledged delegates alone. But regardless of that, most likely all of the 168 superdelegates that are currently undeclared will announce for Clinton before the convention. Probably there will be more Sanders superdelegates who defect as well. She'll end up with probably in excess of 2,800 delegates.

(16,104 posts)then he ends the cash flow!
This is one of the most nakedly opportunistic - but pointless - campaigns ever seen!
The problem is always when it's over, we forget about it and move on to governing.
I say this time we don't forget.

This is utter garbage https://mobile.twitter.com/frankthorp/status/733410065877741569?p=v and this race state-by-state has been quite predictable by demographics.
