President Obama’s former campaign manager on Monday argued that Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has no hope of defeating Hillary Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination.

“I believe Hillary Clinton has zero chance of not being the Democratic nominee,” David Plouffe wrote on Medium. "The Clinton lead is almost 300 in pledged delegates. And over 700 in total delegates.

"Clinton will end the primary, even if she underperforms the rest of the way, with a pledged delegate lead greater than Barack Obama’s in 2008.”

Clinton leads Sanders with 1,712 delegates to his 1,004, according to the latest RealClearPolitics delegates count.

Plouffe argued on Monday that the former secretary of State’s edge is mathematically impossible for Sanders to overcome.


She wins hands down our next President of the USA

1. Then she should switch focus to the GOP, and ignore Bernie.

It would show her as being ready to take over the Executive.

Personally I want Bernie to win so I dont want him to drop out, but as I will gladly support Hillary if she does, I think it is a win win.

11. It looks like she's already started to go that way. Today it was all about the GOP

and Trump and SCOTUS, and I didn't hear anything about Bernie or much about the primary.

12. Time for real liberals and Democrats to get their shit together. There is going to be

a very serious attempt to steal the election.

Millions will be prevented from voting or will be miscounted and regardless of which Democratic candidate is running, they have an uphill climb against the "in place" election stealing machine known as the GOP.

14. Totally agree. We have seen this in prior elections and with the GOP's voter suppression in AZ

with too few voting machines. I hope the Dems are pushing for preventive and corrective action now.

At least here in VA, they have gotten rid of the non-accountable electronic voting machines. It's a good first step.

2. He was using math

[Stand and Fight]

5. And Some Sanders folks HATE math...

It's as much a blocker to them as science and facts are to Republicans. Damned liberal bias!

[NastyRiffraff]

9. Math is a complete mystery

to some Sanders supporters. They probably wonder where the sun goes at night.

10. People who don't like logic usually don't like math

[spooky3]

15. A few don't seem to like empirical evidence either. Well, not when it produces

outcomes they don't like. Some posts I have read here are mind-blowing in their ad hominem attacks when confronted with logic, evidence, or math.

3. K&R!

4. Oh, I don't know about that.

One very large asteroid striking PA, NY, and NJ (and taking out MD and DE in the process) might damage her chances.

She'd only win by about 100 delegates in that case.

6. Ditto on Jon Favreau Podcast

Sanders would have to win NY, CA, PA by 20 points and that's not going to happen.

7. Just like 2008....sanders has ZERO chance of overtaking

Hilary's delegate lead or ever come close on popular vote....but sanders supporters will deny until the end all the while pledging not to vote for Hillary...Just like Hillary supporters in 2008 were saying about Obama...

It's the math and math doesn't work work now or ever for sanders

8. Oh no ...

This will piss off a lot of keyboard warriors.

13. Good ol David Plouffe! He's encouraging!
