Bernie has beaten his target in only THREE states.

Colorado by 2, Oklahoma by 1, and Vermont by 2 (he actually got all 16 of Vermont's delegates, but only needed 14).

He fell one delegate short in Minnesota (yay!), and a full five delegates short in Massachusetts.

Just to name a few other states, he fell 9 delegates short in Alabama and Georgia, 12 delegates short in Tennessee, and 13 or more (they're still counting) delegates short in Texas.

ETA: In a fourth state, New Hampshire, Bernie and Hillary both hit their target dead-on.

You know, at the rate he's going, I don't think he's going to be nominated. NurseJackie Mar 2016 #4

will definitely not be happening.

I expect a rapid-fire flip to "winning isn't the point," and "building a coalition for the future" talk. Generally, that doesn't work--OWS is a good example.

Revolutions either happen or they don't, show well-nigh unstoppable momentum at the time and in retrospect, and generally aren't all that good for anybody (although there are some exceptions).

I just know it's going to involve much, much more than having the right guy in the Oval Office.
