So, this lie has been repeated on this site by lots of posters, politicians, and the DNC chair. Net result for this monumentally bad decision? Two, three delegates? Bravo!

(2,353 posts)California allows undeclared to vote, and New Jersey allows undeclared/independents to register as Democrat when they go to the polling place. And Montana, South Dakota, North Dakota are assured victories for Bernie.
New Mexico is the wildcard since it is a closed primary. But Bernie won his first closed primary in Oregon and came very close to winning another in Kentucky (a state Clinton decimated Obama in 2008 with) so it isn't impossible.
(Also there are 6 states voting on June 7th. Imagine if she lost all 6; that would be terrible optics)

But smearing him on every tv show is most likely just stoking the fire for the anti establishment people which probably make up 75% of his following.
I also think they are starting to realize they have lost about 25% of his followers to the point of no return and they think by smearing him, they will salvage the other 75%.
