16. I don't understand how you are drawing your conclusions of a 12% beat down

Apr 2016

First of all I accessed your link and I am evidently not seeing were you are finding the sections which you copied. Perhaps I don't have the permissions on Politico that you have.

However, even with those excerpts you need to understand those attributes mentioned are not the only the only ones important to voters. For instance, you might think that someone perfectly honest and his views align with yours, but if you think he will be totally ineffective in job, you are not going to vote for him.

In addition everyone needs to remember that Bernie needs to win each of he remaining 22 nomination contests by over 13 percentage points just to draw even with Hillary in the pledged delegate count. (Note: I am not including the super delegates.) If Sanders doesn't win Wisconsin, one of the few contest that he is given a real chance to win, by more than 13% (like 57% to 43%) than stick a fork in him because he is done. He sure isn't going to win big delegate states of New York, Pennsylvania and Maryland by 13%
