Bernie Sanders
Showing Original Post only (View all)Clinton Will Build Her Biggest Lead on March 15. Sanders Will Erode It After That. [View all]
http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2016/03/clinton-will-build-biggest-lead-march-15-sanders-will-erode.htmlIm keeping this short to put a very simple idea into your head. Because of the way the Democratic Party voting calendar is structured this year, Clintons largest lead will occur on March 15. After that, most of Sanders strongest states will vote.
What this means is simple:
Hillary Clinton will grow her lead until the March 15 states have voted.
Bernie Sanders will erase that lead partly or completely after March 15.
How much of Clintons lead he will erase depends on your not buying what the media is selling that the contest is over.
In most scenarios where Sanders wins, he doesnt retake the lead until June 7, when five states including California cast their ballots.
March 15 is the Ides of March; a good way to remember the date. The message gear up for a battle after the Ides of March, and dont let the establishment media tell you what to think. They wont be right until the last state has voted.
