SWEEP!

[ruggerson]

Maybe not. but its looking like it.

[Agschmid]

1. I'm really surprised by MO.

[yuiyoshida]

2. damn!

Did The Yankees win the World Series again?

[Renew Deal]

3. You need some of these

[ruggerson]

19. lol

n/t

[oldandhappy]

4. MO delegates 50-50 is reality

[Renew Deal]

5. Agree. But a complete shutout would be significant.

[Agschmid]

6. Yup.

[RobertEarl]

8. Not signiicant in reality

Just a paper win and the last big haul. She must feel awful she hasn't won. She was supposed to have won already!! All the polls said so!!

[Agschmid]

10. This has been a competitive primary since day one.

Sanders is a great candidate I've even had the pleasure of voting for him, but a shut out tonight is significant.

[RobertEarl]

14. Not significant at all

She barely won a few states where she was predicted to win by double digits just weeks ago. Kinda embarrassing for her in reality.

[Agschmid]

15. Yes it was embarrassing, and then she came back an won.

She did great tonight, and a sweep does a lot to create enthusiasm, etc.

[RobertEarl]

22. Not great for her.

She's behind from what was expected just weeks ago.

What Bernie has done is great.

[Agschmid]

24. Wining 5/5 = Behind.

Advancing in the pledged delegate count by over 100 = Behind.

Having potentially over a 300 lead in the pledged delegate count = Behind.

No... It's not.

9. That's nice. Now add that to the existing total.

Then tell us what percentage Bernie needs to win just to catch up.

[Agschmid]

11. I saw that, proportionality makes it very hard for him to catch up.

[RobertEarl]

12. That's just a gain of 55!!

Nothing to brag about. Long way to go. We're finally out of the confederate states so it's looking good for Us.

[Agschmid]

17. She swept 5/5 today, 2 of those were not "confederate" states.

Can we stop this ridiculous meme?

[RobertEarl]

21. 2 were not

But so many of her 'marvelous' wins were. She has been losing in the North and barely winning a few. Geography is not ridiculous. It's history. 87% of the voters in SC ignored the chance to vote!

[Happenstance24]

16. That's leaving a lot of delegates unaccounted for.

Fl alone has 214 and your chart only allocates 150 of them.

[etherealtruth]

18. The numbers from the NYTimes ....

... have Clinton winning 326 delegates and sanders 220

curious where yours are from (and which are correct)

[Agschmid]

23. NY Times is correct...

The other source still shows Sanders winning MO.

[oldandhappy]

25. someone posted last night

I don't know. But right now on the home page there is another post with numbers (something sort of 'Bernie had a good night'). I'll try to go get that one.

Bernie Sanders Had a Phenomenal Night — Here’s Why


A little pep talk this morning. We need it.



Despite Bernie Sanders losing all 5 states in last night’s primary contests, he’s within striking distance of Hillary Clinton. And if Sanders wins the upcoming Western primaries, he could erase Clinton’s lead and become the new front-runner.

At the end of the night, Hillary Clinton only increased her delegate lead by 57, leaving Sanders plenty of room to eliminate her advantage in the 24 remaining states. A candidate needs 2,383 delegates to clinch the Democratic nomination, and as of March 16, Clinton only has 1,094 delegates to Sanders’ 774. All of the states most favorable to Clinton have already voted, and the states most favorable to Sanders are still on the calendar. If anyone should be worried about their chances at the nomination waning over time, it’s Hillary Clinton.

27. The psychological impact and optics of a 5 state sweep are huge.

Especially when three were by wide margins.

[oasis]

13. Oooooo yeah.

[ucrdem]

20. And now we know why Hillary is smiling
