OR has long been touted as his strongest state out of the remaining. Do you think he will bow out if he loses OR. Even someone as idiotic as Cruz knew when it was time to exit, stage right

(29,703 posts)he is poised to lose big in Oregon. 76% of automatically "declined to state" registrants did not change their registration to Democrat. Oops.

(39,171 posts)He ripped of a nice win streak and promptly got spanked in NY for example. The over riding factor in whether Bernie wins or loses is the demographics of the state and type of primary it is. That is it. Winning Oregon says nothing about the primaries that come after it.

(2,054 posts)It will be up to the free agent super delegates to decide the who will be the Democratic nominee.
They are not pledged and required to vote for Hillary or Bernie.
And over 150 super delegates have not endorsed Hillary or Bernie for the nomination.
At the 2008 convention over 200 super delegates who endorsed Hillary abandoned her and voted for Barack Obama.

(39,171 posts)because Hillary had conceded and released her delegates. Because the SDs were always going to vote for the candidate with the most pledged delegates.
If 2008 is the model, then Hillary will be the nominee first vote.

(26,060 posts)pledged delegates (although it was MUCH closer than Bernie is right now) - they didn't overturn the will of the voters which is what you're proposing.

(4,176 posts)as a true supporter of his I want him elected and his policies to become the norm and would want him to never say die, but the BoB problem is huge and he will address it, has to.
Problem is he knows that many of his supporters are confused when it comes to what to do if he loses.
