Sanders at 49.5% ?

[brooklynite]

Not the stunning win I was promisd..:

[dchill]

1. Well, its 50 40 right now

With 35% in.

[NWCorona]

2. Well there is about 10% that needs to be adjusted for but point taken.

[yallerdawg]

8. You think they wrote in Trump?

40% independents and Republicans could get confused.

[onenote]

23. Minor candidates have the other 10 percent

[onehandle]

3. He needed 4689%* of the vote in WV to clinch the nomination.

*I made that number up. Probably too low.

[whatchamacallit]

4. Well we know how upset the entitled wealthy are when they don't get what they expect

[griffi94]

5. Does that include the crossover help

from Trump supporters?

I really was expecting a 12-15 point win for Bernie in WV.

I wonder if some of his supporters aren't turning out
because the writing is on the wall.

I know they'll turn out in Oregon and California.
But states where they were they weren't as committed to him.

6. Hillary is up big in the nonbinding Nebraska primary.

http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/files/elections/2016/by_county/NE_Page_0510.html?SITE=AP&SECTION=POLITICS

The Party decided yo go with a caucus but by law the primary still had to be held.

[Iliyah]

11. Geez that pretty weird

[LiberalFighter]

20. Yes it is!

[yallerdawg]

12. Nothing like a democratic secret ballot, is there?

Bernie told Rachel he thought it was "good for democracy" for a couple of neighbors to argue over a fence for hours on a Saturday morning - caucuses were good.

I think secret private ballot is much better - yelling across a fence usually brings trouble.

[tonedevil]

17. I quite agree...

with you and I generally support Senator Sanders.

[elleng]

7. 49 to 40, with 22% reporting:

[egalitegirl]

9. Robert Byrd type of people voted for Hillary

Working class Americans of all ages and genders voted for Bernie.

[polly7]

10. Shouldn't she be winning every state handily against someone running from behind

since the start - an unknown, with the DNC and MSM completely against him? She had the name recognition, the big, big backers, the Brock smear campaign with the daily racist, sexist, free stuff slimes, DWS and the DNC - what's her problem in all these states he's won?

[msanthrope]

14. Shouldn't he be winning large, ethnically diverse states handily? I mean....

that's his appeal. Right?

[polly7]

15. Why?

Was he any better known in those states?

Did Clinton's smear machine, DWS and the DNC tricksters ignore those states?

[msanthrope]

35. Why? Because that's how you actually win elections. I know Tad Devine hasn't figured

that concept out yet, and his Presidential campaign record shows that, but seriously.....you actually have to win large diverse states if you want the Presidency.

[polly7]

39. Yeah, no shit.

Has absolutely fuck all to do with what I stated in my question.

"Shouldn't she be winning every state handily against someone running from behind since the start - an unknown, with the DNC and MSM completely against him? She had the name recognition, the big, big backers, the Brock smear campaign with the daily racist, sexist, free stuff slimes, DWS and the DNC - what's her problem in all these states he's won?"

The Brock slime campaign lying about his 'racism' and disdain for PoC from day one no doubt had its effect before people even got to know who he was.

[LiberalFighter]

21. He also had all those rallies with yuge numbers of people.

[msanthrope]

36. Yuge!!!!! nt

[pat_k]

13. +10 over Clinton's 39 (And the night is young)

[dubyadiprecession]

16. He needs to win WV by 65% to maintain some sort of momentum...

going forward. He will probably have to win about 72% of the remaining delegates after tonight.

[dchill]

18. 50.4 to 38.9 -- Hang in there, it will get better!

[Warren Stupidity]

19. awww another sadz

[morningfog]

22. Man, Hillary is still losing states. Stings.

[brooklynite]

24. In 2008, Barack Obama lost 5 of the last 8 contests...I think he got over it.

[morningfog]

25. How many states did he lose every county? How many were the most in a row?

How many did he lose by 15-30 points?

[brooklynite]

30. Why is "every County" remotely important?

[morningfog]

31. Widespread rejection of the front runner.

It's a repeated problem she and he team had better figure out.

[brooklynite]

32. ...in a homogeneous rural State that's not relevant to Democratic victory in November.

[morningfog]

33. Riiiight. Nothing to be curious about. Just like the half dozen others

[silvershadow]

26. It is just as I predicted months ago. He will close the deal in the end. nt

[Adrahil]

28. Really? How do you figure that?

He needed to win by 30+ points tonight. He's gonna miss that target by 15% or thereabouts. Sander's winning the nomination just got less likely tonight.

[AgerolanAmerican]

27. a 15-point spread is pretty decisive

In general that's considered a good clobbering. How's Nebraska doing?

[Adrahil]

29. Clinton won the beauty contest.

And yes, it is a decisive victory, but not as decisive as he needed, He missed his vote share target by about 15%

[JSup]

37. Looks like 12%...

...didn't like either of the candidates.

[baldguy]

38. And he needed 65% to stay viable.

Every time he "wins" he falls further behind.
