1. and he won't

[Rosa Luxemburg]

2. Onward!!!

Drum up the support, call, donate. This is only beginning!

[Cassiopeia]

24. Well, it's the half way point, but

we've crested the mountain and have clear skies, and a warm sunny valley of great polling to descend into.

[Cleita]

3. Me either. eom

[RobertEarl]

4. That is the best she could do

And it leaves the race wide open given the territory ahead.

She was supposed to have this all wrapped up in Iowa, then SC. Well, it ain't over. True Blue states lie ahead!

[SFnomad]

5. It's nice to think positive, but ...

Bernie would have to win some states like the way Clinton beat him in the South ... and that's just not going to happen.

[in_cog_ni_to]

8. Clinton's NOT going to be the nominee. n/t

[bernbabe]

9. Already happened

Colorado
Minnesota
Kansas
Nebraska
Maine
New Hampshire
(Vermont)

[SFnomad]

10. Um, no

Bernie's wins you mentioned
CO - 59.0% / 40.4%
MN - 61.7% / 38.3%
KS - 67.7% / 32.3% (The biggest margin outside of VT)
NE - 57.2% / 42.9%
ME - 64.2% / 35.5%
NH - 60.4% / 38.0%
VT - 86.1% / 13.6% (That's not going to happen anywhere else)

Now let's look at Clinton's best margins
GA - 71.3% / 28.2%
LA - 71.1% / 23.2%
SC - 73.5% / 26.0%
AL - 77.8% / 19.2%
MS - 82.6% / 16.5%

If Bernie is going to win, he will have to win some states with those kinds of margins ... and that's just not going to happen. The ONLY state he has won like that is Vermont and that's in his backyard and he's not going to get those kinds of numbers elsewhere.

[bernbabe]

14. Sigh

In non southern states Bernie has won by an average of 20%. There are no southern states left. He just needs to continue what he has already done. Winning 58% of what is left means he wins.

[in_cog_ni_to]

29. And YOU need to leave the BERNIE GROUP.

You have your own forum to post in.

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

39. ...

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It may be unpleasant, but it isn't hurtful. Don't be so sensitive. Defend your position.

Explanation: This is a protected group - this post would be ok anywhere else.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Definitely not hide-worthy.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I agree with the alert that the phrase "you people" was offensive but chose to let it stay. I don't understand how this helps Trump but...it should stay.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Not okay in a group forum.

[JFKcrat]

36. Rump?

It's not about Rump. It's about sending a message to those supporting corruption at home.

[Flying Squirrel]

11. Heard that bullshit talking point already

Didn't buy it the first time, already disproved it. Lower percentage of a blue state beats higher percentage of a red state with equal population, because blue states get extra delegates in the Democratic primary. Bye now.

[SFnomad]

15. Half the pledged delegates have been given out

I'm sorry you're denying math at this point.

[JonLeibowitz]

32. You may be in the wrong group?

[LiberalElite]

45. Why did you take the trouble to join this group? nt

[agracie]

6. Those numbers toward the end of your post are reversed, I think.

[Ghost Dog]

7. Jumping the snark, over there:

[bunnies]

48. This just totally creeped me out.

On so many levels.

[Joe the Revelator]

12. Honestly, this is all but over. What we need is to keep the spark, and keep trying to heal the

country via the ideals that brought all of us together over Bernie. Bernie was the spark, now we need to kindle the fire over the next couple of years. Good candidates on a local level who can rise through the ranks. The DNC is so broken, we need to start fresh.

This could really be the legacy of the Bernie candidacy.

[Flying Squirrel]

13. Nope. Nice try

Not even halfway over. My state of WA will go 67% for Bernie on the 26th.

[Joe the Revelator]

16. you give me a path to the nomination and I sign on. The one I had been going off of ....

.....was completely and utterly blown out of the water this evening.

[bernbabe]

18. Look around

it has already been explained.

If you want to give up, that's your choice, but don't try to drag the rest of us down with you, thanks.

[in_cog_ni_to]

25. Here ya go... BTW, look at March 15 on the graphic.

?w=575&h=1453

[Ed Suspicious]

28. Try voting. What have you got to lose?

[senz]

17. I'm not giving up.

Why would I acquiesce to evil? What's the point in that?

Yeah, I consider oligarchs, liars, cheaters, exploiters of fellow human beings, polluters and despoilers of the earth, warmongers, phonies, asskissers, narcissists, and sociopaths evil. That means the whole big nasty rightwing/Third Way crowd out there, the ones serving the interests of the 1% at the expense of the 99%.

I'm old, this might be the last chance I will ever get to fight evil. Let my time on earth mean something.

I don't like bad guys. Screw bad guys.

Hell no. I'm not giving up.

[KansDem]

27. ^^^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^^

I consider oligarchs, liars, cheaters, exploiters of fellow human beings, polluters and despoilers of the earth, warmongers, phonies, asskissers, narcissists, and sociopaths evil.

We simply cannot afford MORE OF THE SAME!!!

[senz]

30. Thanks, KansDem.

Writing that helped me calm down and find my center again.

We'll just set our compass in the proper direction and keep going. If enough of us do it, we'll get there.

We'll get there.

[LibDemAlways]

43. That is one fine post, senz. I have a cousin who

posted a link on her Facebook page to a pro-Hillary article tonight. I read as many of the worshipful comments as I could stomach, and what struck me is that these women (and nearly all were women) are voting for her solely on the basis of gender. Not one comment about policy. They simply don't care where she stands on the issues. They don't care about her ties to Walk Street. They don't care that she's profited mightily from those ties. They don't care that she endorses tracking. They don't care about her Iraq War vote. They don't care about her flip-flops. They don't care that people consider her untrustworthy. They don't care that she's run a dirty campaign and lied her ass off about Bernie. They don't care that she likes Kissinger and the Bushes. They only care that she's a woman.

What they don't get is that her gender is irrelevant. I'm a 63-year-old non asskissing female who iis not about to vote against my own best interests just because the candidate is a woman. We always point out that Republicans vote against their own best interests, and it's disheartening to see so many Democrats do the same damn thing. Then we all have to live with the consequences.

So I plan to vote for Bernie in the primary and will write his name in in the general if I have to. I'm done with third way bullshit, and I'll have a clear conscience knowing I won't be responsible for any of the crap handed to us by whatever right winger ends up in the White House.

[senz]

53. We made the right choice, LibDemAlways.

Here it is, three weeks later, Bernie's won seven in a row, and the Hill folk are acting kinda nervous.

I was just looking through my journal, found this, and realized I'd never replied to your thoughtful comment.

[senz]

19. Oh, and a hug for you, Flying Squirrel.

You always dispense good vibes.

[Hiraeth]

21. Bernie is the kind of man you can follow to the end of the earth and

might just be what is happening here.

[Cassiopeia]

22. It's worth my effort.

Back to the phones.

AZ, ID, UT next Tuesday and I get a 11 pm Atlas launch that night to celebrate our 3 wins!

[Omaha Steve]

23. This is for one I OWE the Flying Squirrel

K&R!

OS

[deathrind]

26. Very true!

Reading some of the posts here tonight one would think that HRC got the nomination and it is game over...

Thank you for the reality check!

[jg10003]

31. Bernie doesn't have to win a majority of pledged delegates...

He just has to win enough to keep Clinton from reaching 2383 pledged delegates. Then he can take the fight to the convention.

[in_cog_ni_to]

44. With the POPULAR VOTE TOO.

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

[JonLeibowitz]

33. K&R Flying Squirrel. I am not as optimistic as you, but I will support Bernie until the nomination.

Kicked in another $27 tonight.

[Jopin Klobe]

34. This is it ...

... NOW, here we go ...

[Little_Wing]

35. "Sweep" my ass

Not a sweep, nope, sorry, looks pretty close to these old eyes. Yep, onward and upward my sisters and brothers!

[4lbs]

37. You actually think Sanders will win every remaining contest by an average of 17 points?

No way is that going to happen.

[LiberalElite]

46. Interesting that you have Her logo first nt

[hopemountain]

38. hell - i never change horses in the middle of a stream

The rest of the calendar favor Bernie

[mhatrw]

52. Google says the pledged delegate count is 1139-825 (58-42%).
