Bernie just won 8 of of 9 non Confederate States. Is he now Inevitable?

[Fuddnik]

I think so.

Bye Buy Hillary!

1. I'm having trouble with your math

I can think of at least seven non-southern states. That's even if we followed your plan to disenfranchise an entire region of the country.

[revbones]

2. I think they were talking about the most recent states. nt

[geek tragedy]

3. The nasty habit of Bernie fans dismissing black voters as the confederacy continues

Clinton won every southern state on the basis of minority voters*, not white supremacists. In many of these states the majority of Democrstic primary voters are black.


Which makes this nasty habit really dishonest as well as just gross.

*except for Florida, where she kicked his ass hard with every ethnicity

[B Calm]

4. After Bill kicked black people to the curb and patted his bad cops on the back, I look

for her support with black people to diminish quickly!

[geek tragedy]

5. Bill isn't running.nt

[Lizzie Poppet]

18. LOL. As if everyone doesn't know it's a 2-for-1 deal.

[Agschmid]

19. ...

Someday people will realize what this argument actually was.

8. And when have the majority of those states last voted D in the GE.

Mississippi lasted voted D in 1976
SC last voted D in 1976
Alabama last voted D in 1976
Georgia last voted D in 1992
Kentucky in 1996
Tennessee in 1996 (1976, 1992, 1996)
Louisiana in 1996 (1976, 1992, 1996)
North Carolina in 2008
Virginia in 2008 and 2012, the oddball in the south
Arkansas in 1976, 1992, and 1996-Because you know who.
TX in 1976

[geek tragedy]

9. Florida in 2008 and 2012. Of course Virginia is not the progressive Mecca

that places like Wyoming, Kansas, Nebraska, Alaska, Oklahoma, Idaho, and Utah are.

But, those red states count while a blue/purple state like Virginia doesn't.

[hobbit709]

11. 2 out of 12 isn't a good record.

The chances of TX voting for Clinton are zilch and probably no better for Bernie.

[geek tragedy]

12. Clinton has won all of the big swing states

Florida, Ohio, Virginia, North Carolina--by huge margins. In primaries, not caucuses.

[hobbit709]

13. doesn't mean diddly in the GE.

[geek tragedy]

14. So neither does the sour grapes re: southern states from Sanders folks nt

[RandySF]

20. Let's look at Bernie' states.

Wyoming: 1964
Wisconsin: 2012
Idaho: 1964
Kansas: 1964
Oklahoma: 1964
Minnesota: 2012
Washington: 2012
Utah: 1964
Vermont: 2012
Maine: 2012
New Hampshire: 2012
Alaska: 1964
Hawaii: 2012

And there is no danger of Hillary losing any of Bernie's 2012 states in November.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

7. BECAUSE

The idea Clinton won the south because it is conservative isn't true. She won it because she does well with black voters overall

10. unfortunately it depends on delegates, not states

but you knew that

[JoePhilly]

15. And the 50 state strategy goes under the bus!!!!

[KingFlorez]

16. He's trailing in the delegate count

You can't be inevitable when you don't have the delegates. Stop being ridiculous.

[ismnotwasm]

17. He always been inevitable

That pesky delagate math and the fact the he's also losing the popular vote is a trifle no one should concern themselves with.
