Sanders Campaingn collapsing in NY: - 16, -18, - 12, -14

[factfinder_77]

A 56 to 44 ( +12) win to Hillary would give her 138 delegates, 109 to Sanders,
cancelling Sandes delegates gain in Alaska, Washington and Hawaii combined.

Hillary would then have 1925 delegates.

A 58 to 42 (+14) win to Hillary would give her 143 delegates, 104 to Sanders
cancelling Sanders delegate gain in Alaska, Washington, Hawaii, Michigan and Nebraska

1. He is closer today, than he was in Michigan at this time......

[factfinder_77]

5. And then we have the Thursday night debate in Brooklyn.

"I have noticed that under the bright spotlight and scrutiny in New York, Sen. Sanders has had trouble answering questions. He's had trouble answering questions about his core issue, namely dealing with the banks," Clinton said, referring to Sanders' Daily News editorial board interview. "He's had trouble answering foreign policy questions. And so I look forward to a debate that is in New York with people asking the kind of questions that New Yorkers ask."

10. Except he didn't

Have trouble. The editors had trouble asking questions that made sense. A live debate is harder to play that game¡

[NWCorona]

12. What did he have trouble answering?

[Xipe Totec]

2. Oh, noes!

Assume the fetal position!

[jillan]

3. Oh goody! Somebody got a new Magic 8 Ball!

Is Hillary going to win NY? Shake shake shake...

ooops - look at what it said...

[NWCorona]

13. Nice!

[CoffeeCat]

23. Good one!

I enjoyed that!

[TMontoya]

4. Go Hillary!

She will likely win by 14 points. Then its effectively over for Sanders. And then on the 26th Hillary will likely win the majority if not all states on the 26th. After there will be calls to drop out and his support will dry up.

[BillZBubb]

6. Oh, the irony! "factfinder" indeed. Thanks for the laugh!

To find facts, you actually have to use real data. Making up nonsense is not fact finding, it is bullshit flinging. Maybe you need to consider a name change? Truth in advertising is always the best policy.

8. Hillary has closed the gap with white men

that used to vote Sanders.

http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/nbc-poll-trump-clinton-hold-sizable-leads-new-york-n554311

Clinton leads Sanders among African Americans (68 percent to 28 percent), those ages 45 and older (66 percent to 30 percent) and women (58 percent to 38 percent).

Sanders, meanwhile, holds the advantage among those younger than 45 (62 percent to 37 percent) and those who describe themselves as "very liberal" (59 percent to 40 percent). The two are running roughly even among men and Latinos.

Geographically, Clinton is ahead of Sanders in New York City (58 percent to 39 percent) and in the suburbs (61 percent to 36 percent), but Sanders holds a one-point lead in Upstate New York (49 percent to 48 percent

11. Not me.

I'm a white male, and know plenty of others who'll never vote for a corporatist.

9. factfinder, I encourage a discussion of ideas

Here's a good discussion for you to jump in on, if you want to be productive:

[factfinder_77]

14. The diversity of the electorate

will never accept the Sanders world view.

[AgerolanAmerican]

16. wouldn't diversity imply

that some would accept it, and some would not? I mean, everyone reacting the same way is the exact opposite of the word "diverse", is it not?

careful not to blow that dog whistle too hard lest ye swallow it

[factfinder_77]

22. My point beeing, Sanders caucus wins does not represent the american demographics

[AgerolanAmerican]

24. Can't say I agree

Sanders has won 8 of the last 9 contests.. these are American voters, not Canadians

[factfinder_77]

29. Sanders strategy has always been about the caucus states

Today, Alaska, Colorado, Hawaii, Kansas, Maine, Minnesota, Nevada, North Dakota, Wyoming and Iowa are the only states to rely solely on the caucus.

Making unemployed students a prime voter target.

[AgerolanAmerican]

30. That is not my understanding of his strategy

seems to me his strategy is to win the traditionally Democratic states

[progressoid]

28. And? Name an elected official that DOES represent the American Demographics.

[AgerolanAmerican]

31. it's called a dog whistle

he means "black people" but for some reason hasn't the courage to say so

[JonLeibowitz]

26. That isn't an actual policy position you have espoused.

[AgerolanAmerican]

15. Clinton still has a week to destroy herself

have faith, young padawan

[factfinder_77]

17. Seriously - star wars lingo to defend Sanders

?

[AgerolanAmerican]

20. sorry I'm on a "how bad were the last 4 Star Wars movies" kick right now

when you take them apart they really are truly horrible, so much so that it's fascinating drilling down into the details of just how bad they were

[Chan790]

27. That seems like an odd takeaway from that.

Yes, ze used SW lingo.

The larger point was that lately between shooting herself in the foot and Pyrrhic victories, Clinton has mastered her Deathstar impersonation.

18. Sanders Campaign collapsing in NY: - 16, -18, - 12, -14

Awesome!!!

[HERVEPA]

21. Workingclasszero has gone negative

[JI7]

19. nobody with common sense thought he was going to win NY

[factfinder_77]

25. And the Sanders campaign were late with the ground game in NY

[k8conant]

33. Sounds as if the Sanders campaign is doing well and surging

in New York according to that article.

[northernsouthern]

32. Math?

You do know Sander will get around 70 from Washington alone right? That is more than this spread you are mentioning. (about a 43 from delegate gain from Washington alone)

So 138-109=29 and 29<43 so what is it you say? Oh yeah...

Feel the math #MathBern!

Hey if Bernie gets elected you can got take some free math classes if that makes you feel better.
