    Hard to see a road to victory for anyone else if Sanders wins both California and Texas

    Hard to see anyone other than Bernie really having a legitimate pathway to a MAJORITY of delegates at the moment period.

    Sadly however, it's very much so also a possibility still that even Bernie doesn't reach a majority and only gets a plurality (which would force a contested convention).

    Y'all see the new WPA Intelligence poll released this morning showing Bernie up 7 in Nevada though?

    How are people really spreading this crazy BS?? There's literally no one in the race remotely CLOSE to Bernie being pro-union

    He literally has the most union endorsements of any candidate and is the strongest on fair trade

    Theory

    Well yeah, states are weighted differently. I do think there is issues with the weighting of states.

    I’m saying a lot of peoples defense of the electoral college is that popular votes would mean only states like California and Texas decide elections. But it is possible to lose more states yet still get the electoral college, so we might as well just make the elections decided by the popular vote

    Synopsis

    Polls dont matter when the dnc exists

    Biggest risk right now is that if centrists start dropping out and they all fall behind one candidate

    Crazy new Yahoo News/YouGov poll suggests that the prevailing orthodoxy of the primary so far that many, myself very much included, have subscribed to-- that Bernie, head to head against only one other candidate who unifies the anti-Bernie vote, would get creamed-- might actually be bogus. Particularly if the other candidate was Bloomberg, Buttigieg or Klobuchar, he might actually get STRONGER. Take a look, y'all:

    the man is winning, of course that's bogus lmao

    we literally had a tight dem race in 2016 in terms of popular vote, sanders vs THE ONE establishment candidate

    now that sanders is even stronger why the f*** people would think he would lose 1on1 vs an establishment candidate?

    stay off MSM asap

    2016 wasn't really tight at all, Hillary blew him out in most states she won. But I see your point. I guess I was so focused on Bernie's apparent ceiling I overestimated Bloomberg's (never thought Klobuchar or Buttigieg was a serious contender). Interesting that Warren is the closest to him here. Guess her dropping out would be a good thing after all.

    When he had the heart attack I thought that would take him out of the race.

    But he only came back stronger

    This is only true in a vacuum though, no? Since the nominee is still decided on a plurality rather than simple majority, even if a popular is "more" popular in a generalized sense doesn't mean they're also stronger in the plurality since regional and demographic popularity individually matters more than overall collective popularity.

    there's actually a good chance Democrats will take some seats, but gaining majority will be a pretty uphill battle
