Today Bernie's latest message is very positive and hopeful

this is what he wrote:

When we started our campaign 10 months ago, Lunatica, I don't think you could find a single person who would believe you if you said Bernie Sanders would win nine states by this point in the campaign.

Last night we beat all the polls in almost every state. We earned a significant number of delegates, and are on track for the nomination. Here's why:

What you will not hear from the political and media establishment is that, based on the primary and caucus schedule for the rest of the race, this is the high water mark for the Clinton campaign. Starting today, the map now shifts dramatically in our favor.

Arizona, Idaho, and Utah are up next Tuesday. Alaska, Hawaii, and Washington State caucus the Saturday after. Then it's Wisconsin's turn to vote.

That means we have an extremely good chance to win nearly every state that votes in the next month. If we continue to stand together, we’re just getting started for our political revolution:

Make another contribution to our campaign and we can win this Democratic primary, the White House, and take our country back from the billionaire class.

CNN this morning said Bernie has to win 50% of the coming primaries in order to stay in the running.

But maybe that's too many facts for you.

On CNN they said Bernie had to win 50% of the remaining states.

But I'm sure you aren't listening to things like that.

And no, it was not under "false pretenses." I knew both times that I donated that getting an ROI on the investment in terms of a winning candidate was a long shot. But by virtue of helping him raise so much money from people like me, it helps send a message that Democrats don't need to cozy up to the corporate fat cats to raise enough money to compete.

At some point (i.e. now), asking for money based on obviously false pretenses becomes unethical.

Since some people obviously want to ridicule and humiliate.

I assume it's the number of delegates which could also mean that Hillary can't get the magic number even if Bernie doesn't either.
