Bernie is not John Kasich

[MadBadger]

Kasich needs 162% of the remaining delegates to get the nomination. Bernie is not mathematically eliminated.

He is however realistically eliminated from getting the most pledged delegates, based off all polling, modeling, etc. The way the primaries have gone, there is less than 1% chance Bernie gets the kind of numbers he needs to, to pass Hillary in pledged delegates.

1. The posters who blab "MATH!" don't understand "math." Bernie needs 64.5%

of remaining pledged delegates. WHile that is essentially politically impossible, it is not mathematically impossible.

Kasich, and now Cruz I believe, are mathematically eliminated. Bernie is not.

3. You're correct for the most part

But Super Delegates count and with them the gap is more gaping.

5. Super delegates count at the convention.

It's been repeated non stop that the supers will got with the pledged delegate winner.

4. Actually, he needs 107% of the remaining delegates.

You forgot the superdels.

6. No, you are wrong.

The supers will go with the pledged delegate winner. So the number to win is 2,026.

Regardless, your math is wrong. It's 98% if you wrongfully include supers as non-movable.

7. Ok, sure.

8. He isn't any better at math than you are.

9. You can't include super delegates in "The Math."

Because if somehow, Bernie were to win the pledged delegates, those supers would uproot themselves and go into his corner.

[JaneyVee]

10. Of course I can include them, because...

Bernie is not going to win pledged delegates.

[MadBadger]

12. I agree with the latter

But if Bernie were to somehow win 80% of the remaining delegates, those supers would leave in droves to Bernie's camp.

It's not going to happen, but it's also why I wouldnt say he needs over 100% of the remaining delegates.

11. Kasich might have better odds of being President nt
