26. RE: What is Sanders path to victory, specifically?
Thu Mar 3, 2016, 06:51 PM
Mar 2016

Sanders grassroots movement has been doing very well. Sanders has come from less than 3 percent in the polls nationally to being tied with Hillary in some recent polls. Climbing such a steep hill so quickly is a big deal. Sanders has a chance because his supporters are spending record breaking amounts of time and money on his campaign. Sanders is not over by a long shot. Hillary's slam dunks are behind her and it is time for both campaigns to kick it in to over time.

Lastly you mentioned that polling hasn't been off in previous states, you should look into Minnesota. The polls were a start difference. This also plays into the Sanders campaigns grassroots efforts to climb steep hills.

A long-shot maybe but a long-shot a lot of people think is worth it.

Best Regards!

Yes, but he has met almost none of those targets MaggieD Mar 2016 #36
He's at 84% of his target so far. He is absolutely the underdog now, but if you're claiming MillennialDem Mar 2016 #46

Okay, give me a realistic scenario MaggieD Mar 2016 #59
You didn't define the two things i asked. You are also saying realistic scenario, and that doesn't MillennialDem Mar 2016 #71
I see - so your method is to ignore the polls MaggieD Mar 2016 #75

Your math ignores the drubbing he will take by Mar 15th MaggieD Mar 2016 #85
No I didn't. RTFP. I gave the scenario of him being down 300 and being down 400 on MillennialDem Mar 2016 #90
Okay, 57.4% - is that realistic? MaggieD Mar 2016 #92
He only needs to win 58-60% average, not every remaining state. I honestly don't MillennialDem Mar 2016 #106
You are seriously getting out classed here...nt Joe the Revelator Mar 2016 #115
There is a different between mathematically possible, and plausible. Adrahil Mar 2016 #84
Do you have the exact projection for that? Because the only way I'm getting Bernie needing 65% of MillennialDem Mar 2016 #86
I ball parked the number based on Hillary winning 2/3rd of the delegates.... Adrahil Mar 2016 #89
That's a pretty big assumption, IMO. It could be right, but what if it's a 58/42 split? MillennialDem Mar 2016 #91
That is true. Adrahil Mar 2016 #93
