Bernie Sanders is in 3rd place behind Donald Trump.

Thought I would remind you all. Just doing my part to keep this place grounded in political reality.

First place: Hillary Clinton
Second place: Donald Trump
Third place: Bernie Sanders

[NurseJackie]

2. Not looking very good for Bernie. (Does he know yet? Has anyone told Bernie?)

[LexVegas]

3. He should be proud of participating. nt

[COLGATE4]

14. Well, we can give him a Certificate of Participation then.

[morningfog]

4. Yeah, that's not the way it works at all. Carry on.

6. Do you have more data?

Do the numbers for Trump include only the votes cast for him or have you added the votes cast for other Republicans? If the former, what happens if you add up all Republican votes cast in the primaries and count them towards Trump? Can you also do this by a state by state basis? Thanks!

[JaneyVee]

9. 10 million votes for Trump, 15 million against Trump. Just on the Repub side.

[egalitegirl]

10. So total 25 million will vote for him in GE?

What about on the Democratic Party side? How many for Hillary and how many against? We should add up those numbers to estimate the best case scenario for her.

[JaneyVee]

11. Why should we add up those numbers?

Is this more #BernieMath?

13. Why are you rude?

I do not understand, why are you rude??? I'm just trying to figure out the TOTAL Republican votes cast versus the TOTAL Democratic Party votes cast in order to make a fair estimate of what the general election will look like?

All I did was to ask about the number of votes cast and I get a nasty response. I cannot believe that I deserve rudeness for asking about numbers. If you know the answers, let me know. Otherwise, let someone with more knowledge answer me.

[JaneyVee]

15. Why does that even matter?

[Dawgs]

7. Future of America under the either of the first two... last. n/t

[markbark]

8. Is this from a poll among likely Republican voters?

n/t

[berni_mccoy]

12. Among Republicans? Surely it doesn't count independents.

[frylock]

17. Well, this is a change from your 'sky is falling' posts from yesterday.

Not much of an improvement, mind you, but a change nonetheless.
