19 pct - 69 pct down 50 pct
25 pct swing between two candidates which leaves us with...
44 pct - 44 pct tied and made up 50 pct deficit.

When you use flawed math to insult another Democractic party presidential candidate's 'math' you can easily wind up making yourself not only look more like a candidate's reality blinded worshiper, instead of supporter , but an ignorant to boot.

Just ask the question without the BernieMath crap. You'll look less like a fool if you happen to have made a simple math mistake and it's better for party unity after the primaries are over.
