Obamas 3rd term.

Bernie did well.
He would have beaten anybody on the Republican ticket.

He just couldn't manage to connect with enough Democratic primary voters
to win the nomination.

Now he's trailing by an insurmountable number of delegates, 300.
And 3 million votes.

Democrats prefer Hillary.

Any Democrat was going to win this year.

She's got this in the bag.

300 more delegates and 3 million more votes.

27. Sanders Campaign Has Spent 50 Percent More Than Clinton In 2016 (and he still can't win)
Mon May 2, 2016, 08:27 PM

http://www.npr.org/2016/04/29/476047822/sanders-campaign-has-spent-50-percent-more-than-clinton-in-2016

With Bernie Sanders lopping hundreds of staffers from his campaign this week, it's easy to forget he has outraised and outspent Hillary Clinton every month this year. And not by just a little.

Sanders described his campaign as the "underdog" early on, but it certainly hasn't been the case the past three months. Federal Election Commission reports for January, February and March of 2016 show Sanders outspending Clinton by more than 50 percent, $121.6 million to $80.2 million.

Since Hilly began her big campaign--her unfavorables have shot up 20+ percentage points. 😱

In effect, she spent $150,000,000+ to ensure that more people detested her than ever before.

Sanders has cost Clinton a huge amount of money and revealed her essential weaknesses as a candidate.

Sure, she has more delegates and, sure, more millions of votes have been cast for her than for Sanders

BUT

This was supposed to be a cakewalk to her inevitable coronation. Instead she faces a situation in which the nomination may be determined by super-delegates appointed as delegates to keep pesky people like Sanders from having a chance.

How can anyone not see that this is a terrible blow to the inevitable one?
