Raise your hand if you have an economics degree UMTerp01 Apr 2016 #1

Donald Trump has a degree in economics from Wharton. So Don's raising his hand for you. Bluenorthwest Apr 2016 #18

Is Donald Trump making the argument or are you? nt UMTerp01 Apr 2016 #36

Yes, but does he have a degree from Funtatlaguy Apr 2016 #51

What does that have to do with mathematics? k8conant Apr 2016 #53

But you're talking about a 'landslide of landslides'. randome Apr 2016 #2

Not true. Csainvestor Apr 2016 #5

Lol, Sanders is gonig to get creamed in PR, which is an open primary, not a caucus. Tarc Apr 2016 #34

Pretty sure it's a caucus for the Dems in PR. Codeine Apr 2016 #42

Ahh, I see. The listing is confusing Tarc Apr 2016 #48

or a season with multiple games k8conant Apr 2016 #55

If it is a landslide for Sanders by getting 99 of the 116 delegates LiberalFighter Apr 2016 #74

Show me how. Use the numbers, because I don't think you can make it out. morningfog Apr 2016 #3

You think hillz wins the west country going forward? Csainvestor Apr 2016 #7

No, I don't. But show me the numbers. morningfog Apr 2016 #8

He will cut her lead by 120 points Csainvestor Apr 2016 #12

I think you're confusing a studied analysis of the numbers with simple prophecy. LanternWaste Apr 2016 #35

I don't see how. Show me the numbers. morningfog Apr 2016 #39

How many times do i have to say it Csainvestor Apr 2016 #40

It seems like you are confusing his percentage margin of victory with delegates. TeacherB87 Apr 2016 #46

Bernie actually gained almost 50 delegates there Hav Apr 2016 #80

Indiana, Kentucky, Oregon, and Puerto Rico have 259 combined delegates. LiberalFighter Apr 2016 #78

Sanders might get a landslide in OR. As of today IN and KY are pushes or lean Clinton. DemocratSinceBirth Apr 2016 #27

No polling in KY Csainvestor Apr 2016 #41

Maybe. DemocratSinceBirth Apr 2016 #45

Correct! TeacherB87 Apr 2016 #47

Teacher, I let the facts lead me. I think with my head and hope with my heart. DemocratSinceBirth Apr 2016 #49

Unfortunately there is too little of that going around in these forums from Pro-Bernie people. TeacherB87 Apr 2016 #52

Teacher, it is what it is. DemocratSinceBirth Apr 2016 #57

Principles before personalities. Facts are not attacks unless they are twisted. bjobotts Apr 2016 #58

In a world in which basic facts are, however illogically, debated as if they're not facts TeacherB87 Apr 2016 #59

You are right. LiberalFighter Apr 2016 #77

Landslides going forward jcgoldie Apr 2016 #4

Landslides were in small caucus states firebrand80 Apr 2016 #6

WA not small Csainvestor Apr 2016 #9

Bernie will win the rest of the Mountain West big firebrand80 Apr 2016 #25

Washington is medium at best with 34 pledged delegates. TeacherB87 Apr 2016 #50

PR is Hillary territory, name recognition. morningfog Apr 2016 #10

Oklahoma is in the middle of the population range of the States. Not small. Medium. Bluenorthwest Apr 2016 #22

I'll play Stuckinthebush Apr 2016 #11

It will come down to CA Csainvestor Apr 2016 #14

So? Stuckinthebush Apr 2016 #23

Her lead will be next to nothing. Csainvestor Apr 2016 #24

Ok....this is tiresome, so ok Stuckinthebush Apr 2016 #31

So you're saying he has a chance nt firebrand80 Apr 2016 #69

Ok that made me guffaw! Stuckinthebush Apr 2016 #73

What case will he make? brooklynite Apr 2016 #72

Actually a 69 pledged delegate deficit, but your point is valid. randome Apr 2016 #16

Oops. Yes, you are correct Stuckinthebush Apr 2016 #20

He could get well over +100 in Cali alone. PowerToThePeople Apr 2016 #21

But the point is that even that won't give him the edge Stuckinthebush Apr 2016 #26

That may be true. PowerToThePeople Apr 2016 #33

Fair enough Stuckinthebush Apr 2016 #37

He's going to lose more ground on Tuesday firebrand80 Apr 2016 #29

What about ND, SD, MT, NM, and WV? k8conant Apr 2016 #60

Could be that he wins one or more of those Stuckinthebush Apr 2016 #64

and Poland! nt firebrand80 Apr 2016 #70

So that is how they figured they will win. LiberalFighter Apr 2016 #79

He really needed to win NY oberliner Apr 2016 #13

No. He really needs to win CA Csainvestor Apr 2016 #17

It won't matter if he doesn't win big on Tuesday oberliner Apr 2016 #28

you are correct, he only needs a couple stakes, or was it snooper2 Apr 2016 #15

He's already well-done. randome Apr 2016 #19

Whatever lie let's you sleep at night mythology Apr 2016 #30

What's the absolute best he could do in CA? firebrand80 Apr 2016 #38

You keep posting the same thread KingFlorez Apr 2016 #43

. . . Codeine Apr 2016 #56

Yea, but he changes the words around. JoePhilly Apr 2016 #62

Where are these states in which he will win landslides? TeacherB87 Apr 2016 #54

I guess we'll just have to wait to see then. n/t k8conant Apr 2016 #63

That is a very logical conclusion to the overall conversation topic. TeacherB87 Apr 2016 #65

OP says IN & KY nt firebrand80 Apr 2016 #67

I get that this is what the OP is saying but... TeacherB87 Apr 2016 #71

Bernie needs 58.6% of all remaining delegates, that's not the same as 58.6% in each state. jg10003 Apr 2016 #61

Probably over 60 by next week nt firebrand80 Apr 2016 #66

But it IS approximately 58.6% of the BIG States that will make a difference... brooklynite Apr 2016 #68
