interesting, Sanders actually has a shot at this LOL

So when Hillary beat Obama in Texas, and still went on lose the nomination that hadn't been done in a LONG time...

I'm thinking if she gets over 60, 65% in Texas it may just be over for him, if he can keep her in the 50's he may have a shot at this thing. Fight Fight Fight Fight! Guess I better get a 12 pack for the entertainment as I have no specific dog in this race

I added the numbers and 538 has the delegate guestimate counts at-

453 Clinton
412 Sanders

but I believe that the 538 delegate count may be a tad generous for Bernie.

We'll see when the voting's finished. Thanks for posting.

not their predictions

Believe me I wish you were correct

For instance they best scenario is him winning Tennessee, which he won't and the delegates are listed in his favor.

I'm looking to keep it at around 100-125 (deficit) to be viable in any way going forward.

And a long primary was always Sanders' only path to victory.

Damnit! I can't believe all the gutless "supporters" some of these people are turning out to be. WE HAVE 50 STATES. Could we all, like, you know, VOTE, please?
