After March 15 there won't be anymore southern states other than Kentucky. And the only state left with a huge black population that can single handedly defeat Bernie is Maryland.

Bernie could easily win 60-40 or better in the following states given his strength with white working class voters:

Washington
Oregon
Montana
Wyoming
Idaho
Utah
North Dakota
South Dakota
Alaska
West Virginia
Wisconsin
Conneticut
Delaware
Rhode Island

That's 14 states he's gonna win. And by significant margins if Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota, and New Hampshire are any indication.

Then you have:

Indiana
Pennsylvania
Missouri
Ohio
Illinois

States that are similar to Michigan demographically. He can win these states as well or at least be competitive enough to split the delegates.

And finally the big dogs. Delegate rich:

California
New York
New Jersey

By the time they come up Bernie could have loads of momentum from his wins across the west and rust belt. This could give him a chance to make up even more ground in delegates if he wins 55-45.

Only states left that are heavy Clinton leans are:

Florida
North Carolina
Arizona
New Mexico
Kentucky
Maryland
Hawaii (pure guess here, could be a Bernie state for all we know)
Puerto Rico (not a state but has a lot of delegates)


And this is assuming she still has the Hispanic vote on lock. If they begin moving to Sanders like Hispanics in Nevada, he can make things interesting in Arizona and New Mexico.

This race is by no means over. Sanders can make up the 200 PLEDGE delegate deficit. It'll be tough. But possible if he can win Ohio and Missouri next week. While keeping the margins in Illinois and Florida respectable. He'll lose 2 to 1 in North Carolina.

This may happen...Hillary is a horrible candidate...she is damaged goods being carried in the primaries by Older African Americans that remember OG Bill Clinton fondly and have pipe dreams of reliving the 90s...She is very vulnerable to be beaten by whoever survives from the Republican party...with that said I am enjoying the sonning that Lil Marco is getting from #TrumpSet

Probably won't happen but who knowa? Sanders did just pull off the biggest upset in modern polling history

Right now he needs to win 54% of the remaining PLEDGE delegates to surpass her. With so many favorable states left, it's possible.

I would still give Hillary a 60% chance of winning the nomination. But 40% are decent odds.

Especially when you consider he had a less than 1% chance of winning Michigan last night.

Super delegates probably won't end up being a factor, lets make that clear.

Assuming Bernie mounts a historic comeback to surpass Hillary, the DNC would have to let super delegates vote by state consensus... Too much at stake. if they stole the election, that would almost assure a donald trump presidency and it might ignite a revolution:dame:

This.

Sanders voters already can't stand Hillary. If the superdelegates overrule the will of the people, they would simply be taking a poison pill that ensures the republicans win in November.

either way i look forward to the excuses and tears
This entire thread is unrealistic. Sanders needs something like 65% of the remaining delegates to win. Rhode Island is also not a Sanders state. Rhode Islanders love Clinton for no reason. Kentucky is also a state he was to win, that should not be a Hillary lean. All in all, he'll probably close but I just don't see it.

Keep on the path of neo liberalism globalism and push fascismo candidates.


The revolution of 1917 will look like child's play compared to the great class awakening that will take place in America
