1. K&R

[TwilightZone]

2. If we only counted the states Bernie won, he'd win.

That's probably the next demand.

[workinclasszero]

3. ROFL

It wouldn't surprise me too much at this point.

[Renew Deal]

8. This is what "the people" want

[Cali_Democrat]

4. Bernie is actually winning

#BernieMath

[workinclasszero]

5. Its a classic!

Bernie is always winning in the Bern bubble.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

6. Maths

[workinclasszero]

9. LOL that's funny DSB!

Maths is hard when it proves your candidate is losing bigtime, no doubt!

[Trust Buster]

7. Stop confusing us with facts......LOL

[workinclasszero]

10. Yup those pesky facts again!

Always proving most democrats want Hillary as our nominee.

12. Rub our noses in her Pyrrhic victory all you want....She is still a bad General Election candidate.

That's my opinion, and the opinion of many, many, many others. Including many who gridgingly support her for "pragmatic" reasons.

She's p been lucky in the fact that the GOP picked Trump. If they had run a credible (for the GOP) candidate, I think they would have wiped the floor...As it is, with Trump, she's got a 50-50 chance or better.

But regardless of Sanders, the Democrats could have done much better. A sizable number of Democrats -- and certainly non-partisan voters -- agree.

14. You have to win the primary first

for the 10,000th time!

Maybe Sanders fans will finally learn that fact in a few week. SMH

15. What does it matter if you win the battle but lose the war?

Looking at the primary only is a to wage a Pyrrhic war against your allies, instead of focusing on the long-term victory that needs to happen in the general election. For the 10,000th time!

But maybe Clinton fans will finally - and tragically - learn that fact in November. SMH

[workinclasszero]

19. You seem to savor the possibility of a Trump victory?

2+2=4 no matter if you would rather have it equal 5!

Math does not give a *hit! It's still 4! Now and forever!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

22. ...

[intheflow]

36. Wow, what a stupid response.

Devoid of any meaning or comprehension of my argument. Welcome to my ignore list.

[TwilightZone]

18. Polls don't apply to the general election. Ever heard of the electoral college?

Several different projections show her well ahead in the EC.

[Snarkoleptic]

34. Indeed, especially those pesky exit polls that no longer seem to track.

As for your dismissive comment about the EC, yes, I'm familiar. Why the snotty tone?

Here's what RCP has posted at the moment.
HRC 201
Drumpf 164
tossups 173
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/2016_elections_electoral_college_map.html

Now what happens when Drumpf runs to her left on 'free trade' agreements?
HRC has referred to the much reviled TPP by stating "This TPP sets the gold standard in trade agreements" now she's trying to distance herself from it.

Back to polling, Bernie is beating Drumpf like a rented mule! Keep in mind that the job of the electors is to elect a winner, not an also-ran.

16. K&R

[NorthCarolina]

17. Yes, she's the most widely loved candidate in the history of candidates...

or not.

[hrmjustin]

20. But second is the new first.

[grossproffit]

21. Mind if I steal this?

[hrmjustin]

23. By all means.

[grossproffit]

39. Thank you!

[workinclasszero]

27. Hahahahahahaha!

Well played hrmjustin!

25. The influence of Super Delegates

...occurs before ordinary people vote in creating inevitability message about a candidate and dampening support for other candidates.

[annavictorious]

32. No it doesn't

That didn't happen in 2008 and it didn't happen this time either. Sanders has maxed out on his support, and it's not enough because it was never going to be enough. Even the $210,000,000 he threw at it couldn't help.

But cheer up. At least you have political philosopher / tripadvisor.com director of philanthropy Rosario Dawson and Nader supporter / GWB elector Sarandon on your side!

[Garrett78]

35. Exactly, If anything, you'd think it would help the underdog in an anti-establishment climate.

Anyway, as the OP points out, Clinton wins regardless of which method is chosen. And caucuses are the only reason the numbers are even remotely close.

[anotherproletariat]

26. But, but...if you don't vet Sanders at all, he wins in pretend match-ups with Trump.

Shouldn't that be more important than all your silly numbers?

[hobbit709]

28. And the people will lose when the corporations win.

[LAS14]

30. Thank you CNN!!!

[Shadowflash]

31. woo hoo!

Good for you.

Good luck with that during the GE.

[AtomicKitten]

33. Until she gets to the GE. And then ...

[LexVegas]

37. Sanders is a weak candidate. nt

[Number23]

40. Every. SINGLE. Time.

[Ash_F]

41. No one knows what the popular vote is because of our terrible system.

They should leave that out. It discredits the rest. I am skeptical of the rest now.
