I just... I can't.

Help me figure out the psychology

So, evidently in Sanders supporter world he won Super Tuesday. My gods. The denial....

[GusBob]

1. They don't understand delegate counts I guess

....

[ismnotwasm]

2. It's ok

It's been this way all along

Why With "voter fraud" accusations and Hillary stole Sanders speech type posts, I didn't expect anything less or more

[Stuckinthebush]

4. It's crazy

Simply crazy

[ismnotwasm]

13. I know

I don't get it either

[sweetloukillbot]

16. But wasn't the whole point of Bernie's run to get Clinton to address the issues he thought important

Now that she is, she's copying him?

I don't get it. But then, I do remember that I fell for Nader 15 years ago. And learned my lesson the hard way.

[Treant]

3. Let them.

That cough and the blood? Just a cold. A really bad cold. Pick me up some cigs at the market, would you?

Denial is necessary. The next cycle, on March fifth and eighth, should drive the lesson home a bit.

March 15th is simply going to hurt. Back off and try to be gentle.

[Stuckinthebush]

5. Oy

I don't know if I can. I'll try

[Stand and Fight]

6. To be fair... I think (and hope) they mean in some sort of figurative sense? n/t

[Stuckinthebush]

10. Ok. We will go with that

It's some kind of moral victory I guess. Sigh.

[MSMITH33156]

7. This made me laugh

thanks for the joke.

[sweetloukillbot]

8. There are several things I don't understand...

Like how Minnesota is a swing state now.
And how Oklahoma is an important victory, but the other Southern states don't matter.

[LannyDeVaney]

11. They called Colorado a "must win" for Clinton

They are delusional.

[sweetloukillbot]

15. I admit being concerned about how Colorado will play in the general

It does seem to be getting redder (which goes against their thinking of Bernie's win). But I figure that a Castro for a running mate will help keep the state blue.

[LannyDeVaney]

9. I realize math is hard ...

but you would think they could at least understand the relative difference between two integers (delegate count).

Good thing Clinton will improve education nationwide.

[UtahLib]

12. I can't either and don't even try.

[Stuckinthebush]

14. I have hpoe

Hope in realization of inevitability. But I guess there is some cognitive dissonance going on.

Still....yikes

[UtahLib]

17. Cognitive dissonance - you're a very generous person.

[Stuckinthebush]

18. Ha!

I try!

[jsmirman]

19. I can't, I just can't

sounds about right.

Good gravy.

[Gothmog]

20. Denial is not just a river in Africa

[Chichiri]

21. To be fair, Bernie did better than pretty much anyone in here thought.

I thought he was going to win three states maximum. I did not expect him to take the black box states so handily. So he might just squeak in above the worst case scenario.

Meanwhile, PredictWise still has Hillary at a 96% chance to win.

But we must not grow complacent.

[Stuckinthebush]

22. Ok. But a win?

Not even close.

But your point is well made.

[Chichiri]

24. If he comes in above target, he could be considered to have "won."

But I'm virtually certain he won't. Remember that Hillary's target for the night is 453, and she's almost there.
