Hate to tell the BSers, But Hillary Won The Most Delegates Yesterday...Again.

[stopbush]

According to the Green Papers (http://www.thegreenpapers.com/P16/IN-D), the final tally in IN was:

Sanders - 44 pledged; 0 supers

Hillary - 39 pledged; 7 supers (out of 9 available).

So, Hillary wins the state again, 46-44.

The best Sanders can do is to claim the 2 remaining super delegates which would even the score at 46 (and those 2 delegates are listed as being available by GP). Of course, those delegates could also split or go to Hilary.

Hillary is now only 181 delegates away from reaching 2383.

1. never mind

2. I know and it's exciting!

3. I would be careful about presenting the argument this way

Because it feeds into this mentality that the system is unfair and that she is winning unfairly

He won yesterday with pledged delegates and it is expected that the sd's who were for her before are not going to switch

[stopbush]

4. You'll never get losers past thinking the system is unfair.

This is the best way to present the argument because it is steeped in REALITY, which none of Sanders's "how I'll win" arguments are these days.

12. If the final goal includes superdelegates -

which it does - why would we be expected to not count committed superdelegates?

So they "feel" better about continuing a failed campaign?

18. The same argument applies when the results

were reversed.

6. Plz tell them...they over in GD: P, saying Bernie is making a come back...

8. I have that forum trashed.

7. That's got to hurt.

9. As I understand it, BS can win every contest from now to CA, and Hillary still reaches 2383 before..

him. What the BSers don't understand is that "just winning" isn't enough for BS at this point. He has to win blowouts everywhere as a few points difference just doesn't net him the number of delegates needed to close the gap.

[WhiteTara]

10. So, he closed the gap by 5pt. Not much momentum there. nt

[stopbush]

13. He didn't really close the gap.

IN is now over, and that's one less contest left for him to close the gap. Since he actually underperformed yesterday, the gap has widened in the % of pledged delegates he needs to win in each of the remaining contests.

11. How much did he spend to break even at best?

I read $400K on tv ads alone.

[WhiteTara]

14. Tad is doing a happy dance. nt

15. Sanders spent at least $1.8 million on ads in IN.

Sanders has spent $1.8 million on advertising in Indiana, according to the ad-tracking firm Kantar Media/CMAG. Clinton has spent virtually nothing.

[stopbush]

17. And all purchased thru Tad Devine's ad buy company, so he gets a nice cut of that $ as well.

What a scam artist! He saw Sanders coming a mile away.
