They're Now Ignoring The Delegate Math Completely

[stopbush]

"over there."

"WY was a Sanders victory, even though Hill won 4 more delegates than BS. The media says it was a BS victory, so it was. He won the raw vote, so it was a victory, and a victory that added to his streak of victories," etc, etc.

Yes, that and a Metrocard (not a subway token) will get you downtown, as the saying goes (the saying in NYC used to be "that and a subway token will get you downtown," back when they used tokens. Sanders campaign, take note: no more tokens).

At some point, everyone is going to have to accept the fact that it's all about the delegates. The person with the most wins. It's really quite simple.

I'll be interested to see how Hillary's pending victory in NY is characterized post-voting. One can only imagine the pretzels that will be twisted to claim she lost.

1. I suppose they can call it a win if they want to, but the fact remains that

he didn't gain any ground on Hillary in Wyoming.

[Thinkingabout]

2. Hillary needs 593 delegates, Sanders needs 1270, he needs twice as many delegates as Hillary,

he would need to make landslide victories, she could break even and still win easily. Yes, its the math.

3. Reality is not their thing... which is too bad because it's going to be harder to grasp

it down the line when it's OVER.

[stopbush]

5. They will never accept reality. Much more satisfying to one's ego

to whine "we was robbed."

It's unfortunate that so many Americans hold the conceit that reality is whatever they say it is. I suppose we shouldn't be surprised. After all, we live in one of the most-Christian countries in the world, and the whole of Christianity is based on myth and fantasy that is treated as reality. When you're allowed to define your own reality, what need of facts?

Closer to our time, the vast majority of Americans believe that JFK's murder was the result of a vast conspiracy. They believe this because they saw Oliver Stone's movie once upon a time, even though Stone himself characterized said movie as a fiction, and even though all the objective evidence confirms the findings of the Warren Commission (how many people do you know who say they don't believe a word of the WCR, even though they've never read it?)

Ultimately, it comes down to the very human penchant of avoiding personal accountability at all costs. Personal screw-ups are much easier to handle when we convince ourselves "it was god's plan." Hell, even though we all know deep down inside that 10 out of 10 human beings die, we acted shocked whenever someone dies, even if they're extremely old. Rather than admit the obvious, we feel duty bound to come up some grandiose reason for each death (god needed him in heaven, his heavenly family was calling him, etc).

Reality isn't as forgiving as the faux reality we create to get us through the day.

9. Maybe they'll understand when Hillary is inaugurated and

BS stays home.

[stopbush]

12. All they'll see is Hillary surrounded by all those evil establishment types

just like Bernie said.

Whereas if it was Sanders being inaugurated, he'd be surrounded by his ardent revolutionaries, the celestial choir and the Oompah Loompahs.

[Cha]

14. Well that fits since they remind me of Veruca Salt.

[KittyWampus]

13. That's the day they start bashing her as POTUS. Same as happened to Obama.

[Gman]

16. EXACTLY!

It was less than 48 hours after the GE was called for Obama in 08 that he was already being thrown under the bus then dragged through the mud here at DU.

[BlueCaliDem]

4. If they didn't, they'd be depressed. I know *I* would were I a Sanders supporter having to face the

inevitable in this campaign. But in geography, they are correct: Sanders is winning. He loses on popular vote, delegates, and superdelegates.

[stopbush]

6. Indeed. Sanders should have won NV, because even though Hillary

won Las Vegas, Sanders carried the Area 51 vote, and that's a much, much larger geographical area than Clark County.

[George II]

10. Wait until they vote in New Mexico. If he wins Roswell, he'll have captured the....

....extraterrestrial vote and be considered the winner of the Universe.

[stopbush]

11. And here I thought he was the creator of the universe.

My bad.

[Her Sister]

7. Well HRC voters have proven stubborn!

Notwithstanding the media, the GOP smears and BS's wins. They can try to smear her. They can try to disillusion us! They can just ignore us! They can lie and they can cheat!

Nothing fazes us! We keep on keeping on! Watch us!!

READY FOR HRC and HRC IS READY for DAY NUMERO UNO!!!!

[NurseJackie]

8. On the plus side ...

for those who do such things, the FALL will be even harder ... and it will make Hillary's ultimate VICTORY and NOMINATION even more sweet.

[GusBob]

15. Hillary is winning withDEMOCRATS

Not with "them"

Whatever they are

[otohara]

[Lil Missy]

18. Let them have their fantasy a while longer; it's going to be a hard fall.

Real Democrats are going to vote for Hillary.

[NastyRiffraff]

19. They're completely ignoring MATH, period

as well as reality and those pesky facts that get in Bernie's way.

Somehow they'll have to face facts when Hillary stands on the Capitol steps and is sworn in as President of the United States.
