2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumBernie has won EIGHT states now, and tied in two more. This wasn't supposed to happen.
When Camp Weathervane was envisioning all the possible situations they might find themselves in on March 6, you have to know this is beyond their worst case scenario. Never did they think Bernie would win any state other than Vermont and New Hampshire.
And still you hear them spout their smug talking points, the usual nonsense about Hillary being inevitable. But the fear is palpable. Their analyses are based on static poll numbers. But we know this year has been anything but static. If Bernie's momentum continues, he will soon eclipse Hillary nationally. All she will have left are the superdelegates she has in her pocket.... good luck at the convention with that strategy!

he wins caucus states almost exclusive. Lets see how he does in primary states.
