Only one candidate has more votes than Trump. [View all]

Hillary will go into convention with a huge delegate lead, huge popular vote lead, and more votes than Donald Trump.

If Bernie cant even get more votes than Trump now, it would be party suicide to nominate him, and it would be a downticket disaster trying to defend him. Trying to convince the "establishment" to back a candidate who would be handily defeated is not going to happen either. This primary was effectively over on Super Tuesday, and in 72 hours it will be the icing on the cake.

Bernie should then channel his movement to help electing downticket Dems, particularly in Florida, Ohio, and North Carolina.

Did you research 'sample bias' and figure out why exit polls are so unreliable? JaneyVee Apr 2016 #11

We are studying different books then... exit polls are generally globally off by less than 2%.. in berniepdx420 Apr 2016 #13

No, exit polling is horrifically biased and unreliable. JaneyVee Apr 2016 #14
