Bernie Sanders raising money off of false hopes - why aren't we SCREAMING about this?

57. Not bullshitting. She faced the same problem then that Sanders faces now, proportional dispensation

of delegates. She was closer to Obama, but, like Sanders, she could never catch up.

She learned from that loss in 2008 and ran a campaign with that in mind. At no point since mid-March has her win in the primary ever been in doubt. There was no way anything short of a catastrophe that could change the outcome.

Excellent article from 538 "Clinton Is Following Obama’s Path To The Nomination"


And rather than throw around that accusation of lying, you might just ask why I think the way I do. I support Clinton.

The fact is the Democratic Primary system with its proportional dispensation of delegates makes it damn near impossible to beat a candidate with even a small lead in delegates in a 2 person race. If there had been 3 or 4 Candidate through March and into April, anyone could have won it. Once Clinton put away those wins in the South, the primary hasn't been in doubt.
