Sanders Adviser Says Campaign May Have To 'Reevaluate' After Tuesday

[factfinder_77]

On Tuesday, five more states hold primaries, and polling suggests Clinton is in for another good night. When asked if there would come a point when Sanders tones down his criticisms of the front-runner, as Clinton did late in the 2008 race, Sanders senior campaign adviser Tad Devine said he'd see what happens on Tuesday.

"If we think we've made enough progress, then we'll keep on the path that we're on," Devine said. "If we think we have to, you know, take a different way or reevaluate, you know, we'll do it then. But right now, we think the best path beyond is the one we laid out months ago."

1. Devine is the only one with a touch of realism in that campaign

Plus he wants to work on future democratic campaigns and doesn't want to burn his bridges.

Can't imagine Jeff Weaver ever being hired by any democrat again -- the guy is a tool.

19. Devine has a reputation to restore if he wants to

be hired in future campaigns. Weaver is just a Sander's lackey,he's got nothing to lose at this point.

3. Looks like results from Tuesday are going to be the end for Bernie.

He will likely get swept and will lose huge in MD and PA. That should be like a 2x4 to the head.

4. Interesting. I wonder if Tad will jump ship and climb aboard

someone else's campaign canoe for 2016.

In any case, Tuesday's likely to be a turning point.

8. Can you please tell me when the national primary is so I don't forget to vote in it?

Thank you in advance.

10. Here...

Much harping is presented as if it is a neutral perspective solely based on mathematics that is not driven by any influence the Clinton campaign may have over media institutions. However, the fact is there are 1,400 pledged delegates left to win in contests. Clinton has 1,442 pledged delegates while Sanders has 1,209 pledged delegates. It’s a lead of 233 pledged delegates, which he could still overcome in June, especially if he continues to surge in California—a state with 475 delegates to be won.

If our margins are true, we project that Sanders will have to win around 65%-35%, NOT including Supers, in every state after. (next Tuesday)

16. Where did my post mention polling? Were you intending to reply to a different person?

Delegate count, not polls B/c we all know the polls are worthless. It is far from over. Are you not concerned she will be crushed in a GE because she has lost half the dems, offended (beyond repair) the millennials and the indies won't vote for her. Who would she carry? The Al Fom wing of the party.....

9. Clinton Has More Than Double The Lead In Pledged Delegates Than Obama Had At Any Point In 2008

12. See #10...Don't let the facts get int the way of your opinion.

13. How and where was it debunked??

[KingFlorez]

15. Some of you don't know what the word debunked means

Unless there is a link that disputes what the article says, nothing is debunked.

[Land of Enchantment]

17. Tad Devine said his words were taken out of context yesterday.

I hear him say it on CNN and and not going to waste my time looking for it through a zillion videos.

There were threads about this yesterday---it was debunked.

[KingFlorez]

18. You don't know what the word means

This race is over regardless of what Sanders or his staff says anyway, so this is all a moot point.

[kennetha]

21. Mere assertion by you does not equal fact

[Orsino]

7. The default assumption is that only losers reevaluate.

That's tragic, when what we need so badly is about twenty-four different kinds of change.

I'm waiting for the likely winner to begin to reevaluate, and the outlook isn't great.

11. Where is Grover Norquist when we need him to drown NPR in a bathtub and take them out of our misery

20. Weaver affirmed just yesterday it's to the convention.

What's next, the phony announcements that he has dropped out like Cruz did to Ben Carson?

Somebody should ask Hillary if the FBI has come to call yet, and if not, when that will be.

[kennetha]

22. Weaver is a Bernie Hack

the only semi-realistic person on Bernie's staff is Tad Devine.

He's got to find his way back into the good graces of democrats everywhere.
