Hes losing massively among self identified Democrats and African Americans...

Sanders is more likely to win in the general than Clinton when matched against Trump, so some of the superdelegates will move to him if he stays close to Clinton in the upcoming Primaries.

You continue repeating the same points without acknowledging the rebuttals. You're not interested in a conversation, you're just giving a monologue and continuously shifting the points as they become inconvenient or convenient. Who cares about the registered Democrat total in open or semi-closed primary states, which btw is a large number of states including California? Shouldn't it be alarming that your candidate has little appeal among independents? Weren't you just playing up swing states? Florida and Ohio are critical, except when they're not critical like in 2008 last time she ran.

Sanders only lost NC by 17 delegates, which is closer than projections were. In Illinois he "lost" by 4 delegates. In Missouri it's basically a tie. In Ohio, a state he never polled ahead in, he lost by 21. The only bad loss in the night was in Florida.

right, um well considering this is a race for the Nomination for the Democratic Party, you seem to be totally oblivious to the fact that Registered Democrats are probably the important demographic. I'll forgive that obvious statement but I'm far more disturbed by something else you said.

You said "your candidate". I am a Democrat. I dont really care who wins as long as its a Democrat. I was unable to vote in the Missouri Primary, I am a registered Nebraska voter. Bernie won by a huge margin in Nebraska. And he would have had my vote... so I dont know why you think I am a Hillary supporter at all.
You sound absurdly narrow minded, and are ignoring the obvious differences and parallels between this and 2008. The position Hillary is in, in this election is a reverse mirror image of how Obama was in 2008. Hillary is the clear favorite, and not only are you ignoring my rebuttals, you seem to think that because you keep repeating Ohio and Florida didnt matter last time, you ignored the fact that Obama's massive delegate boost came from winning every single Southern state other than Florida last time. A feat which Bernie did not achieve. Bernie, god bless him, is not competitive among actual Democrats. The only people voting for him are millenials and yahoo's who wont even vote in the general unless he is nominated anyway.

Will he win California? no. I actually dont think he will whether its open or not. Hillary was outspent tonight 5:1 and still carried almost every state, Missouri may fall her way after all. but as I said, Missouri is not really that important to the General.

Up here we go with the Spin Machine. Yep tonights a big victory for Bernie. Of course. Yea tonight was a great night for Ted Cruz too.

Thanks Putin, I am glad to see the Fox News style spin-machine is in full effect tonight.

Next your gonna tell me that Bernie is polling favorably in Wisconsin and thats gonna be the key to his turnaround.

No, they are not the most important demographic. Party affiliation is relatively meaningless. In Ohio there is no party registration. Heck in Ohio you don't even see party affiliation next to names of most candidates running for office in any election. You claim registered party members are critical but dismiss people under 40 years of age as nobodies, bizarre.

"You said "your candidate". I am a Democrat. I dont really care who wins as long as its a Democrat. I was unable to vote in the Missouri Primary, I am a registered Nebraska voter. Bernie won by a huge margin in Nebraska. And he would have had my vote... so I dont know why you think I am a Hillary supporter at all. "

Because of this thread and virtually everything else you've said about the primaries. If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, etc.

"You sound absurdly narrow minded, and are ignoring the obvious differences and parallels between this and 2008. The position Hillary is in, in this election is a reverse mirror image of how Obama was in 2008."

So what? 2008 was 2008 and 2016 is 2016. What matters is who will win the upcoming primaries. Sanders has carried a number of the states Obama has carried as well. So it's not quite a mirror image.

You trying to demoralize Sanders supporters and claim you're a Sanders supporter is cute, and completely transparent.

"Up here we go with the Spin Machine. Yep tonights a big victory for Bernie. Of course. Yea tonight was a great night for Ted Cruz too."

Never claimed that. I made the quite modest claim that the race is not over. You're trying to bury Bernie and dismiss all of his supporters when you know very well that the primaries so far have been in Clinton strongholds and the race moves to terrain where the polling has been much different.

Yes Putin, because registered webdip voters are very concerned about brainbombs trolly dumbass opinions on anything.

People are gonna do what they are gonna do, just calling it like it is. Ask any hardline old school voters and they all say the same, its gonna be Hillary vs Trump. If I am wrong, well okay, like I said, I'll go ahead and never talk on webdip again. hows that for a bet. Feel free to chant feel the bern in my face because I too would be smiling anyway.

You are ignoring the math, the facts, and hoping against hope at this point. Bernie spent a shitload of money in Ohio, Illinois, and Missouri. He didnt just show up at these rallies for the hell of it. And it didnt work...

Brainbomb, as a fellow Bernie supporter who's pretty pessimistic about his hopes, I do think that your comments on the subject contain an unwarranted level of vitriol and what appears to be a distinct Hillary bias.

Brainbomb: "Bernie Sanders has suspended his campaign"

.....links to a story about Marco Rubio in which Bernie Sanders is not mentioned.

Brainbomb, you really are a low-quality troll.

I'm confused about Marco Rubio suspending his campaign. I thought all Republicans were supposed to stay in the race as to have a larger chance to stop Trump?
Did he just ignore their advice?

people officially under my skin on webdip are krellin, wjessop, and now brainbomb. it's a compliment.

The race is not over, for sure, but does anyone (putin or anyone else) actually think that Bernis is more likely to win than Hillary now?

"I would say the important states in a General ABSOLUTELY include Florida, Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, North Carolina, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, Minnesota, Arizona, Alaska, and Iowa"

yes, clearly illinois is a swing state

Okay. Where to start? I'm a huge Sanders supporter. I've donated money and time to his campaign. He may still have a few surprising victories. The democratic nomination is effectively over barring an indictment. That won't happen because, though Hillary may have used poor judgement, she did nothing illegal.

For Putin, who I'm sure will yell at me as a fake supporter, the math simply doesn't add up. Is it mathematically plausible? Yes. It's also plausible that Martin O'Mally will un suspend his campaign and have a few wins. The support Bernie has had among voters under 40 and among independents has been incredible, and I think especially those under 40 should be the ones deciding the election (since we'll have to live with the future it creates), but unfortunately both of those groups are notoriously unreliable in the general, never mind primaries.

Had Hillary ran unopposed by Bernie, she likely would have run center or center right in the general. Now she's been pulled enough to have to run center left in the general. As far as the republican side, I'm dancing as a democrat. If Trump wins, it's an easy win for Hillary. Minority voters will come out in droves, and they'll vote Clinton in similar numbers to Obama. Texas may go her way. If Trump isn't the nominee (because if a brokered convention), he'll run independent, which will split the republican vote.

In summation, Bernie has no shot at taking the nomination. The GOP has less of a chance of winning the general. That being said, GOP probably keeps both houses

"That being said, GOP probably keeps both houses"
that does not sound good, why do you think that will happen?

@y2k "people officially under my skin on webdip are krellin, wjessop, and now brainbomb. it's a compliment. "

I TOTALLY accept that as a compliment. But...care to illuminate your statement?

The house is solidly republican until at least 2022 due to republican state legislatures gerrymandering the hell out of congressional lines. Personally, I believe there will be a brokered convention and you'll get a 3rd party run by Trump. If that happens, it's likely the two GOP candidates could win the popular vote combined over Clinton but get clobbered in the electoral college. The popular vote will trickle down the ballot though to keep the senate red

"@DemocratLapdog "That won't happen because, though Hillary may have used poor judgement, she did nothing illegal."

lol Libtard sheep. General Petraeus was CONVICTED for doing less than she did, your blithering idiot!! She won't be indicted because the democrat party -- Obama -- is in control of the Justice department. Please....get your fucking head out of the sand, man.

I don't really give a crap if you are a Democrat....but don't be a moron and let your government spoon-feed you their lies.

that being said, I'd almost rather have Felonious Clinton in office than some loser like Bernie Sander's who has a lifetime accomplishment of **ZERO**. Someone name me *one* thing Bernie has done in his entire political career OTHER than managing to dupe the voters into re-electing him.

In short, while moronic Bernie sander's supporters scream and cry like babies because (GASP) someone who took a risk makes money off their labor, Bernie's ENTIRE LIFE HAS BEEN SUCKING OFF THE GOVERNMENT TIT while producine ZERO in return for the people! lol

He's the ultimate fucking leech, and if he had a shred of integrity, he would realize that he is *exactly* what he claims to hate and would off himself for crimes against humanity.

"republican state legislatures gerrymandering the hell out of congressional lines".....lol THat's hilarious. Because...you see....before the "republican gerrymandered the hell out of congressional lines..." the fucking Democrats were in control and....guess one hypocrite...they gerrymandered the hell out of congressional lines and yet SOMEHOW the people managed to wrestle control away from them.

People win and lose elections because the voters vote. Don't be such a ridiculous lapdog that you totally discredit the value of the voter. So tired of stupid losers always pointing at everything BUT the idiot that lost as the reason for losing.

How about this...The American people were fucking sick and tired of bullshit, do-nothing Democrat leadership and THAT's why they lost the election.

Truly pathetic, man. Bury your head in the sand if you will, but please don't leave your ass open to the air to continue to dribble it's contents all over us.

And now....lest I get's banned...having dropped my bombs....I must depart and silence your all. You have nothing of value to say anyway.

This house is clean. My work here is done.

krellin, how is gonna y2k illuminate for you anything if you depart?

"Never claimed that. I made the quite modest claim that the race is not over. You're trying to bury Bernie and dismiss all of his supporters when you know very well that the primaries so far have been in Clinton strongholds and the race moves to terrain where the polling has been much different."

Right... So NC, Virginia, SC, Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana are Hillary Clinton strongholds.
So states with mostly Democrats, which Obama dominated in 2008 and boosted him to an advantage in pledged delegates are suddenly Hillary strongholds.
Like she has armed compounds of FEMA workers lined up at voting stations holding AK47s demanding African Americans and Liberals and Minority voters forcibly vote Hillary or suffer a Rwandan style genocide.
(Strongholds)
Theres no historical precedent for why those states would be Strongholds at all. NC voted Obama in general elections in both 2008, and 2012 and voted for Obama in the primary. Why would Hillary automatically be picking up all the states she got crushed in; in 2008?

If anything states which voted for a populist candidate should have a higher liklihood of voting outside the box again here in 2016.

So did Krellin leave then? He, kids, is an example of why Trump is doing well. If you just scream about how others are wrong without contributing anything and make up arguments against arguments that don't exist, someone will listen. I don't have the time nor patience to write a long drawn out argument dispelling all his points, but I'll really quickly refute his points.

1. Pettraus knowinglt exposed secrets that were classified. That's why I qualified Hillary's judgement as poor but her actions as legal.

2. I never claimed the democrats didn't gerrymander, so I don't understand why you qualified your argument around that. Voters didn't defeat the gerrymandered districts democrats created, they defeated democratic legislatures and changes how the districts were gerrymandered.

3. America is 20th or worse in pretty much every aspect of measured success of a country except GDP and military spending. All the countries above us practice a more liberal form of socialism (the US also practices socialism). But god forbid anyone mention the scourge of socialism.

My heads not in the sand mate, but I wouldn't expect someone who immediately resorts to name calling to consider other ideas as plausible. I've got a lot more to say, but I've already wasted enough time on your trolling. Any further correspondence from you can be addressed to that empty space in your head that Fox News removed years ago.

Fox News is giving Lobotomies to webdip users? Is Dr. Ben Carson involved?

Um, most country's economies are mixed systems based on a capitalist model that serve bourgeois interests. There are socialistic qualities, but one would be hard pressed to call them really socialistic.
