Bernie is less than 300 pledged delegates behind now (298). If he wins like he did last night....

[morningfog]

Bernie is maintaining and slightly closing the gap. With his recent wins, he has narrowed the gap from 324 to 298.

While it is in the right direction, it hasn't significantly altered the percentage of the remaining delegates needed: 57.9%.

There are 242 pledged delegates, from AK, HI, WI, and WY, in play between now and the big state of NY on April 19, where 247 PDs are up for grabs.


If Bernie wins with 78% of the vote and pledged delegates in AK, HI, WI, and WY, as he did in Idaho and Utah, he would cut Hillary's PD lead by 136. That would put him to within 162 going into NY.

1. Yay,,,he can do it, and if he's close he can make his case beating Trump

as he is now 20pts. over!

[Yuugal]

2. Shhhhhhh!

The more they think they are ahead the less will show up.

6. You know... that thought occurred to me yesterday. Complacency of HillBill voters is our friend.

[marions ghost]

3. Go Western States

it's up to you right now!

[72DejaVu]

4. And 300 behind again after New York

[morningfog]

5. Certainly a possibility.

[Lorien]

7. He needs to take back the delegates lost to election theft

because they'll keep pulling these stunts if he doesn't.

14. You think that AZ republicans set this up for Hillary?

That's absurd.

[Ferd Berfel]

8. It Ain't over till it's over

[book_worm]

9. But he's not going to keep winning like he did in Idaho and Utah

which are small states with not all that many delegates. The primaries coming up starting with New York and including Pennsylvania and New Jersey are closed primaries where Bernie doesn't do all that well in because it's Democrats only voting.

It's also highly unlikely he is going to win Washington State and Wisconsin by the margins he did in Utah and Idaho.

10. What this proves to me is

the west IS the best, just like Jim Morrison said.

[AtomicKitten]

11. Bernie should do very well on the West Coast.

[Number23]

12. NY Times has him down by over 300, 1223 to 920

And that's not including those bad people, the super delegates. And even using your scenario, being down 162 delegates is still a huge challenge to overcome.

15. I rely on green papers. They are more accurate.

No way to cut it, though, he has a huge deficit to overcome.

13. "he needs to... blow out his delegate targets th rest ofth way to have a shot at catching Clinton"

Not all the news is good for Sanders, however. He was expected to win more delegates on the evening based on our demographic targets — and more importantly, he’s far enough behind Clinton that he needs to not just meet but blow out his delegate targets the rest of the way to have a shot at eventually catching Clinton.

16. He needs 57.9% of the remaining delegates.

Tough, steep, nearly impossible hill to climb for sure.
