Don't Cry About Super Tuesday—Bernie Sanders Is Winning the Future

The morning after the results rolled in, The Guardian’s Richard Wolffe dismissively caricatured Sanders’ handling of his Super Tuesday performance before sighing that it “may be premature to expect Sanders to concede to reality.” Elsewhere, Mother Jones’ Tim Murphy ended an article headlined “Bernie Sanders Is in a Whole Lot of Trouble” by warning that “the math” in the contests ahead “is looking pretty grim.”

“Judging from Super Tuesday’s results, Sen. Bernie Sanders has a long row to hoe if he is going to overtake Hillary Clinton and become the Democratic nominee,” Bleifuss began. “By and large, the margins of her victories were larger than the margins of his. And as In These Times Deputy Publisher Christopher Hass reported last week, it is in the size of these margins that the Democratic standard bearer will be determined.

Tom Cahill at the similarly out-of-the-way U.S. Uncut gave readers further cause to resist the seductions of defeatism by pointing out that “Sanders is largely holding up to the bar set by nationally-respected pollster Nate Silver in states needed to win the Democratic nomination.”

While Sanders narrowly lost Massachusetts to Clinton by 2 points on Super Tuesday, he won Minnesota, Vermont, Colorado, and Oklahoma by larger-than-expected margins, and he faces a much more favorable electorate in states voting after March 15. If Sanders stays within 150 delegates by that benchmark, he can potentially narrow Clinton’s lead in the spring and overtake her in the summer as Sanders-favorable coastal states take to the polls.

I rarely watch network TV, but when I do, they make my blood boil. I.can't.watch.their.bullshit.anymore.

I connected my YouTube online account to my Roku YouTube and watch my YouTube channels on my TV most of the time...or COMMERCIAL FREE TCM. I'm watching Mike Malloy on Roku Livestream right now...it's HEAVEN not having to watch MSM.

Is Mike Malloy now persona non grata on DU now...like H A GOODMAN is?

PEACE
LOVE
