It's so annoying to see people move the goalposts to make their guy look better. Seriously, he lost. Nearly 3.2 million votes down, but he energized the party so he won? Apparently not enough for them to actually get out and vote. Unless they all did, and yet he still lost, which is even more sad. Get real.
Uh...were you here in early 2015? No one actually expected Sanders to win. The goalposts are simply being returned to their original positions. Stop being such a sore winner.
No one expected him to win... and he didn't. He got his ass kicked in an absolute double digit landslide and has only achieved something in the deluded minds of his supporters.
The pledged delegate margin is less than 10%.
You really are such an incredibly miserable hack.
Why? Because the only reason you want to talk about delegates instead of the popular vote here is so that you can disguise the margin of Hillary's victory in actual mass elections by including the results from caucuses attended by five unemployed white guys on the government dole who could afford to sit around and whinge about politics for eight hours.
Of course, you had to specify "pledged" delegates because Hillary currently has 60.52% of the delegates overall, a more than 20 point margin, a very inconvenient little reality for you and your shilling. Of course, there's no good reason for this specification. If we're going to include the gross offenses against democracy called caucuses there's no reason why super delegates should be excluded.
It's actually quite funny. Sanders is getting his ass kicked by double digits both in votes and in delegates, and he's frankly getting his ass beat so incredibly hard that I wouldn't think there would be any way you could spin it, but I should have known you'd find a way. You managed to twist and turn and bend yourself over backwards to find a way to exclude all of the undemocratic elements of the process that have benefited Clinton while simultaneously including all of the undemocratic elements of the process that have benefited Sanders to somehow to come up with some bizarre, arbitrary measurement where he's "only" losing by 9.72%.
That, of course, in and of itself, speaks volumes about how badly Sanders is
actually losing.
