Everyone stop, just stop. Bernie is GOING NOWHERE...at all. It's 5 vs. 6 state wins tonight....

[johnnyrocket]

for Hillary...maybe 4 vs. 7 if MA falls out for Bernie, but in the next round of states, Bernie is ahead.

Also, in 2008 HRC was ahead against BHO on Super Tuesday also. Bernie is in great shape, and just getting started.

[amborin]

1. Yuge K&R! Bernie and his supporters are in this until July; the primaries are only just starting

[bkkyosemite]

2. Agree (but sure got mad at the Billy boy fiasco today in MA)

[saltpoint]

3. I'm deep in Sanders territory with

no intention of leaving. Send snacks.

Also I won't stop listening to Emmylou Harris. I would in fact question the very sanity of anyone who could stop listening to "Boulder to Birmingham."

[Blue_In_AK]

9. For you

f

[saltpoint]

11. Blue_In-AK, yes, yes, yes -- and

thank you!

She's a marvel. And she is very generous with dog rescue as well.

I'm smiling big time.

[jalan48]

30. I'm still in love with her.

[passiveporcupine]

42. Be careful what you ask for.

the Bundy group asked for snacks and got dildos!

[saltpoint]

55. True. Politics can be an iffy

proposition. : )

[demwing]

60. Wonder what they would have got if they had asked for dildos?

New recruits?

[Codeine]

4. Winning states means shit. Delegates matter. Bernie is getting p0wned in delegates tonight.

You really think he's got huge, delegate-rich wins ahead? that seems delusional.

[jeff47]

13. Not that p0wned.

The formula for delegates awarded to each state takes into account the recent general election results from that state. States that reliably vote for the Republican in the general election have fewer delegates per person.

For example, Texas has 2/3rds the population of CA. It has less than half the delegates of CA (222 vs 475)

Tonight is red-state-heavy. That leaves plenty of room to make up for having fewer delegates tonight.

[MillennialDem]

29. Yes. Blue states give more delegates. He does not need as big of margins as HRC got in the

south.

[Armymedic88]

36. Must not remember 08?!

[Codeine]

38. When Hillary won Super Tuesday by 20 delegates?

I do. She won by over ten times that number tonight.

[Armymedic88]

39. Look me up on the 15th... that's when the winner will be decided!!

[davidpdx]

54. Actually you are wrong

Although she won 20 more delegates on THAT night, she ended up losing Super Tuesday by 17 delegates. The final tally was:

Obama: 849
Clinton: 832

It's also worth mentioning she went on to LOSE the next 11 primary and caucuses by 125 delegates.

[billhicks76]

43. Clinton Supporters Duty To End The Drug War

And private prisons. How about doing that and maybe the people won't despise your campaign as much.

[Logical]

57. Lol, typical arrogant hillary supporter! Nt

[2pooped2pop]

5. Thank you

Sometimes we do get a little down. Its kind of like Bernie or the fall of America feeling. Bernie really is a hell of a guy.

[nadinbrzezinski]

6. And the same talk was present in 2008

I say that with somebody with a sense of memory.

[Codeine]

10. Clinton won that night by 20 delegates.

She's going to have many, many times that margin tonight.

I say that as someone with a sense of arithmetic.

[jeff47]

14. That night had 50% of the delegates for the convention.

Tonight has 20%.

I say that as someone with a sense of memory and a sense of arithmetic.

[Codeine]

15. And she's carrying away an enormous chunk of those.

Where is Bernie's margin? What delegate-rich states does he blow her out in?

[jeff47]

16. He doesn't need to blow her out. Proportional results? What does that mean?!

Again, there's still 80% of the delegates to go. You don't need a blow-out to win when that many are still up for grabs.

[Codeine]

17. He'd have to run the board.

Impossible? Of course not. Likely? I really doubt it.

[jeff47]

18. Again, no.

You really don't seem to understand proportional results.

Let's say Clinton's 51-48 lead in MA holds up. That means she gets roughly 3 more delegates (I'm not sure if the winner gets extra, that's based on percentage * 91 pledged delegates).

Where, oh where can Sanders get a massive blow-out to make up for those 3 delegates?!?!?!

The South is far more conservative than the rest of the country. Tonight's results are South-heavy. We're currently in the best races for Clinton. The rest of the country is not nearly as conservative as the South.

All of the media including superdelegates in the delegate counts is not serving you well.

[Codeine]

19. "don't seem to understand proportional results" my shiny metal butt.

I'm not talking about three delegates. MA is essentially a tie either way. I'm talking about the huge delegate advantage she takes home tonight.

Where does he win enough to beat that?

[jeff47]

20. Lots and lots of places.

Again, the rest of the country is far less conservative than the South. And the delegate formula gives them more delegates than the South (the formula penalizes states that reliably vote for Republicans in the general election).

Which ones specifically? We'll see. Or we won't see. My entire point is this is not nearly as "over" as you are trying to claim.

[Codeine]

21. Well as much as I'm supporting Clinton

I'll happily color the Sanders circle if you guys can pull it out.

[Mother Of Four]

22. Thank you for that Codeine

I was starting to get a little miffed (Though I try REALLY REALLY hard not to cause...you know...reasons) till I saw this response. It made me feel a whole lot better about tonight.

Thanks

[agracie]

46. Yes ! 👍🏼

[BreakfastClub]

53. Do you think Hillary won in the South because it is conservative? LOL nt

[jeff47]

61. More conservative candidate does better in more conservative states....what a shock!!!

[Bluenorthwest]

62. Do you think the South is not conservative? The entire region has legal discrimination against LGBT

It's conservative. They vote that way and their conservatism is demonstrated in their laws, such as the laws that allow discrimination or laws that lock the youth up for things that are perfectly legal in other places which are not so conservative. Some of the States Hillary won retained laws against same sex activity until 2003 when SCOTUS ruled those laws to be unconstitutional.

But your argument is they are not conservatives and all of that bullshit is delivered to them by nature or by God and not by their own actions?

[peacebird]

8. Yes, and Bernie isn't under investigation either. Funny, I worked the polls today and had countless

People tell me they could not stomach voting for Hillary OR Trump.

People are saying this is a transformative election and they truly hope it will not be either of the expected winners on the ticket.

[SoapBox]

25. And he's not heading off to a D.C. fundraiser with lobbyists and

hosted by a lobbyist for the NRA!

She's a real gem, she is.

Hillary Clinton 2016: DC Lobbyists Set To Raise Cash For Hillary Victory Fund
BY ANDREW PEREZ @ANDREWPEREZDC AND DAVID SIROTA @DAVIDSIROTA ON 02/29/16 AT 6:32 PM

The Democratic National Committee’s recent move to end its ban on contributions from federal lobbyists was widely seen as a boost to Hillary Clinton’s campaign, which has ties to the Washington lobbying community. Clinton already appears to be taking advantage of the shift.

On Mar. 21, Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta and a handful of lobbying titans are scheduled to host a fundraiser for the Hillary Victory Fund, a joint fundraising account for the Clinton campaign, the DNC and 32 state parties. According to an invitation obtained by the Sunlight Foundation, Podesta’s co-hosts include Steve Elmendorf, Jeff Forbes and Susan Brophy — all of whom were government officials before becoming lobbyists at top D.C. firms. The event with Podesta — whose brother is a corporate lobbyist and fundraising bundler for Clinton — follows a recent fundraising blitz by Clinton in which her campaign raised money from financial, energy and other industries that expect to have business before the next president.

[Jitter65]

12. Which states will Bernie likely win going forward? Not sarc. Serious question.

I want to be able to get my relatives working harder for Hillary in those states.

[Stuckinthebush]

23. State of Denial?

That's the only one I can think of

[Loudestlib]

40. Bernie Sanders is a good man.

He's spent his entire life standing up for people. He's in this election because he wants poor people to have better wages. He wants sick people to get treatment that doesn't bankrupt them. He want's kids to be able to start a life without a huge burden of debit because they went to college. He wants to keep our service people safe by not fighting wars we don't have to and if we have to he wants to make sure our vets are taken care of. He started his campaign with a we because if this is the kind of life that we want for our people it's going to take all of us.

[Oilwellian]

49. Bravo!

[aidbo]

51. +1 meeeeelion

[aidbo]

50. I think he's likely to win most of the west coast

[Bluenorthwest]

63. Not being able to figure that out is problematic for you.

That's fairly basic stuff.

[lumberjack_jeff]

65. Rhode Island. Send your family there. nt

[Thespian2]

24. HRH seems to do well in states that are

meaningless to the Democrats in the General Election...because they will lose the heavily Repukkkian states...

[peacebird]

56. Yes.

[desmiller]

26. K & R & booyah!

[brush]

27. 7 vs 4 actually. Clinton won Mass.

[beachbum bob]

28. how many delegates did hillary get tonight again?......

[retrowire]

34. Less than the 24% total of all delegates in the US, that's for sure.

But if you want to claim this contest is sealed when it's only 24% done, by all means, go celebrate!

That's like screaming BINGO when only 3 numbers have been called out. LOL

[retrowire]

31. Don't tell them facts

Facts are like water to a ducks back around here! lol

But WOOOOOOO FEEL THE BERNNNN

[warrprayer]

32. We are here

To the convention!!!

[jalan48]

33. The corporate media want this to be over.

Bernie's ideas are catching on and pose a threat to the Clintons, Goldman Sachs, Monsanto.....

[bhikkhu]

44. No, they want it to drag out as long and as nasty as they can make it

Which drives ratings and money. And of course they'd like to be able to say at the end they were right all along, which earns points for credibility.

[jalan48]

64. I don't agree about Bernie, Trump yes.

If they wanted to drag it out with Bernie he would have been on more from the get go. There were big marches all over the country last week in support of him and there was a media black out about it. Trump, on the other hand poses no threat to the existing corporate structure so he's om 24/7 for ratings.

[jeff47]

66. If that were true, Sanders would be getting coverage. He's not getting much. (nt)

[Volaris]

47. Disney, comcast, clearchannel...

Who else wants to play; this games fun!.

More fun will be if Bernie pulls a WH win
The fluffers for the MegaCorps will go on camera and lose their shit.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

35. Hillary went all the way

to CA in June '08 even though it was mathematically impossible for her to win.

[DocMac]

37. Well,I can't take this shit much longer. nt

[JDPriestly]

41. K&R.

[Betty Karlson]

48. K&R for exposure. And for truth. eom

[merrily]

52. Bernie said he is in this until June--as was Hillary in 2008. And I hope so!

[kgnu_fan]

58. Bernie will move ahead

[carburyme]

59. Let's leave Sanders supporters alone!

As a Hillary supporter who felt the pain of her loses in 2008, I can understand holding on to that last bit of hope. Mathematically possible or not Bernie is putting up a great fight and will continue until the very end.

See you all at the convention. I want to see this all played out and when it's all said and done, no matter how painful it is, I hope we all can set aside our differences and come together for whoever is our democratic nominee would be.
