7. Exacty! Exactly why it should NOT be such a surprise, let alone "impossible".

If Bernie -wasn't- filling stadiums, if he -wasn't- breaking records for funding and support, all through the summer and fall, if he was greeted only with cobwebs and crickets, AND he was running against someone who enjoyed tremendous popular support, had a history of running air-tight campaigns, etc, then yes, we should all be very surprised.

But even then, "surprised" is an loooonnnggg way from the black hole of "nobody thought it possible."

We don't know that the Vogons aren't busy clearing the way for a hyperspace bypass, and will be blowing up the earth in 2 hours. But we do know that you can't say no one in the entire world believes it will end soon.
