Your argument doesn't even pass the eye test but you were suggesting an upset is not outside the realm of possibility:




CNN EXIT POLLS 52-48 for Hillary!

That is super narrow! Bernie could win this!!!

* with decimal points he was less than 3 points off for HRC and 2 points off for BS. That's pretty amazing.

To get your way. Agreed CNN exit polls are losers tonight. Either that or something was seriously wrong with the counting.
