(62,325 posts)I even wrote an OP back then about it it was so ridiculous, that Bernie needs to pack it in etc. They are really getting desperate, there is no way she is anywhere near clinching the nomination. Far from it, she should have had it by now if the people wanted her. Hardly anyone knew Bernie when this started and yet he's only a little over 210 delegates behind her
He has eroded her lead of 324 after the Southern states and even after NY she hasn't made much of a dent in that erosion, just 29 delegates.
But the talking point is intended to depress enthusiasm. They think we are not 'on to them'. It's a revelation to see the low level of intelligence of some of these paid 'journalists'. Hell I would never have even tried to be a journalist, but looking at some of what comes for these people, I feel I could win the Pulitzer by comparison.
