Bernie Sanders will still be the Democratic Nominee

34. "Bernie has no path to win." That's not true.

As long as Clinton hasn't won and there are still sufficient delegates out there to be won, Sanders has a path to win the nomination. He can also stop her from winning it outright, so the matter goes to the convention. Sanders did better than Obama against Clinton in NY, even with all that vote suppression happening. And Clinton only gained 30 delegates. Clinton won the U.S. Senate seat in NY twice. It is not a good barometer of what can happen in the remaining states.

Though I think you're right that the Clinton campaign has little energy and would make no news without Sanders, I don't think Clinton can count on Sanders voters. Quite a few may register to vote in order to vote for Sanders but won't vote for Clinton. Her negatives are just too high. And if the Republicans get smart and manage to nominate someone who, by any stretch of the imagination, can be described as "moderate," she will lose in the GE. (She loses to Kasich in national matchups, and I believe to Cruz as well. And she beats Trump by only half the margin that Sanders beats him by.) She has no drawing power among independents and disgruntled Republicans. She has no appeal with young voters. Many will stay home.

Most Sanders supporters do not see Sanders as "a good sparring partner" for Clinton. That demeans him and his supporters--as you probably intended. We see him as President--and as the best president this country has seen since FDR. So we're talking New Deal passion and revolution. We are certainly not in it to jazz up Clinton's coronation.
