4. Hillary currently leads Bernie in all measures
Wed Mar 30, 2016, 03:08 PM
Mar 2016

She has more states - 17 to 14
She has more pledged delegates
She has more superdelegates
And she has more voters.

Hillary received 1,097,400 votes in the Florida Democratic Primary.
1,017,006 votes in Illinois.
935,080 votes in Texas.
616,383 votes in North Carolina.

Populations of our eight least populated states:
Rhode Island: 1.056,298
Montana: 1,032,949
Delaware: 945,934
South Dakota: 858,469
North Dakota: 756,927
Alaska: 738,432 (already declared for Bernie)
Vermont: 626,042 (already declared for Bernie)
Wyoming: 586,107

So far there are four states Hillary has run in, where her vote totals exceed the populations of entire states.

You look at McGovern and see a man who was running a grassroots movement. I look at him as the man who put Richard Nixon back in the White House in a 49-state sweep. At least McGovern had the grace to win a state with 14 electoral votes, which Bernie will NOT do. And the Republicans we have to contend with this time around are far more dangerous than Nixon ever was.

And you are in the wrong group.
