"If Sanders Can't Win Michigan, where can he win besides small caucus states?"

[book_worm]

The Midwestern industrial state, which holds its primary Tuesday, is the ideal audience for Sanders’ campaign message about “unfair” trade agreements, income inequality and a “rigged economy.”...

Yet Clinton has consistently led in polls — a Monmouth University Poll out Monday showed her up 13 points. “If he can’t win in Michigan, where can he win besides these small caucus states?” said Susan Demas, publisher of Inside Michigan Politics, a political analysis newsletter. Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver is calling Michigan “a critical showdown.”...

Cook Political Report analyst David Wasserman said the outlook for Sanders is bleak. “The Democratic race is fundamentally over at this point,” he said, estimating Sanders would have to win three-fifths of remaining party delegates just to draw even with Clinton. Delegate-rich states next up on the calendar, including Florida, also favor Clinton...

After losing Southern primary states with large black voter populations to Clinton — as well as Massachusetts — Michigan is among Sanders’ final opportunities to prove that his economic message has broad appeal and that he can make inroads with minorities.

1. The only states remaining where he'll be competitive are states like....

....the Dakotas, Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, and maybe close in Wisconsin. That's it as far as I see.

He's far behind in the two states voting tomorrow, far behind in four of the five states next Tuesday (and about 5% behind in Missouri in an old poll in the 5th).

He's also getting destroyed in New York, NJ, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and several other large states with urban areas.

2. Bernie is up by 2 points in Idaho

3. Hillary's delegate count is going to grow faster than Sanders count and then the primaries will end

Before he can obtain enough delegates. In Fact I look for Hillary to get her delegate count without the need for super delegates. The super delegates will remain to prevent issues as the GOP is currently experiencing. We do not want a hostile takeover by a hostile party.

4. Many of his supporters think he'll win the west coast states

However after his comment about the export/import bank and Boeing I doubt he'll win Washington state. Boeing is the largest employer here.

Doubt he'll win California. It's very multi-ethnic and whites do not make a majority in that state.

Perhaps he may win Oregon, the least populated of the three.

5. He'll still win Washington. They absolutely love the guy.

But we can probably cut into his lead with the Boeing remarks.

7. He's popular in Seattle

Not so much in the outlying areas. I live in Snohomish County. Everyone here knows and or is related to several people who work for Boeing.
