152. Math says Bernie is 211 points behind in pledged delegates

Fri Apr 8, 2016, 04:15 PM

Apr 2016

Math says that he knocked ~30% off Hill's 300+ point lead in the recent primaries & caucuses.

Math says that Hill needs to win ~62 % of all remaining delegates in the upcoming primaries to lock in the nomination via pledged delegates. That's after having only won 57% of them in the 1st half of the primaries, which were her stronger states.

Math + upcoming states + momentum says that Bernie can stop her from locking in the nomination which takes it to the convention floor.

And life says *anything* can happen between now and the convention. Hill's not likely to actually be indicted, but nothing says one or another of her closest aides won't be. Hill's not likely to suffer a pulmonary embolism, but her medical history says it's possible. Or, here's a really wild and crazy, off-the-wall impossible idea, what if the Pope were to invite Bernie to the Vatican for a confer....oh, wait a minute...
