Here is why the "math" argument is disingenuous garbage [View all]

Bernie is down by 230 points with 1400 points left to be accumulated.

It is entirely conceivable that Bernie could pick up over 100 delegates in Indiana, Kentucky and Oregon. A 100 point delegate deficit could easily be made up in CA or through a combination of other states.

It is complete and utter garbage that Bernie will be unable to win landslides in future contests, he already has won landslides.

Speaking of Landslides, the reason Hillary has her lead is because she won a few landslides.
To assume landslides aren't possible is a disingenuous argument since both candidates have already won them.

You know that Bernie will go down by up to 100 delegates next week Renew Deal Apr 2016 #2

Puerto Rico is a caucus Csainvestor Apr 2016 #45

Nothing of the sort has even come close to happening. metroins Apr 2016 #15

That's fine. I'll go with your predictions for Hillary losses Renew Deal Apr 2016 #18

This is false. Csainvestor Apr 2016 #21

So your prediction is that Bernie will win 3 Renew Deal Apr 2016 #36

Yep, there go those goalposts, always shifting around Tarc Apr 2016 #38

#BernieMath has no relation to Real Math and makes a mockery of Delegate Math SFnomad Apr 2016 #17

It's just not gonna happen. nolawarlock Apr 2016 #20

do you think Bernie won't win states like Csainvestor Apr 2016 #22

Oh, he might get one or even two ... nolawarlock Apr 2016 #24

He actually only got 47 more delegates in WA. That's the ONLY state where he as gained more than 20 SFnomad Apr 2016 #29

he will pick up more during round 2 of delegate allocation. Csainvestor Apr 2016 #32

no thanks. TimeToEvolve Apr 2016 #42

it's ok nolawarlock Apr 2016 #49

There are no caucuses left. Bernie's big wins during that stretch YouDig Apr 2016 #23

He can't win KingFlorez Apr 2016 #25

You realize she keeps gaining more to her total even when he does win a state, right? Starry Messenger Apr 2016 #26

That's a heaping pile. Zynx Apr 2016 #33

I think Bernie will actually win in puerto rico Csainvestor Apr 2016 #37

I will wager an awful lot that the gap going into CA is well over 200 delegates. Zynx Apr 2016 #60

i'll rather vote for cinder block before giving up and submitting to hillary TimeToEvolve Apr 2016 #39

Keep it up and remain consistant CajunBlazer Apr 2016 #43

I think bernie stole the election in every state he won. because I wish it so, it is true nt msongs Apr 2016 #54

I'm curious about your confidence of a big Bernie win in Kentucky. LonePirate Apr 2016 #52

i expect bernie to win with the same margin hillary did in 08 Csainvestor Apr 2016 #65

Hillary has her lead because the south came first, unlike 2008 jg10003 Apr 2016 #55

FFS! grossproffit Apr 2016 #66
