2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Don't let other OPs fool you ... Sanders has only won 11 of the last 25 ... BS is not on a roll [View all]SheilaT
(23,156 posts)81. I find the desperation of the Hillary supporters to be rather pathetic.
She was supposed to have this in the bag a year ago. Clearly she is an incredibly weak candidate. Her negatives are incredibly high and getting higher. She polls very badly against Trump.
Personally, I'm done with voting for a lesser of evils.

There were about 100,000 suppressed placebo ballots that weren't counted in New York City.

If all 100,000 of those were Sanders voters then Bernie still would've lost the state

No, I don't ... because what I'm doing is not "cherrypicking" and that's what you're accusing me of

For the most part he wins relatively small, low-black population, rural states and caucuses.
