Sanders not running out of money: He's on track to raise 50-60 Mio. $ in March

Let's DISPEL the MYTH that Clinton is inevitable, once and for all.
Sanders can win if people vote for him. Remember Clinton supporters have been saying that she was inevitable before the first vote was even cast. There are millions and millions of people who have not voted. Clinton supporters know that she is not inevitable, if they believed otherwise they would stay home and not vote in the primaries. They will not do that, because in their hearts they know they're wrong.

Yes, Clinton has a significant lead in NY, if she holds it for another month and wins, don't forget, a close margin is very different from a landslide. If she wins NY, PA and CA by small margins, I think she gets the nomination. If not, the other states could be a factor. If she wins AZ, then onto WI where Sanders seems a little more viable, with a possibility of winning. Then onto NY which could be a major setback for Sanders.

The interesting thing to look for is whether Clinton can get to a majority before June 7.
If the race is decided on June 7, I am sure that the overwhelming majority here would predict that Clinton mathematically seals it. I am not going to quibble. It is a short amount of time relative to the last 14 billion years. I want to see results for 100% certainty. That said, CA is the largest state and I would be happy to let people have a voice in who the nominee is, regardless of whether or not Clinton is now the inevitable nominee. It is quite possible that both the GOP and Democrats pick their nominees on June 7.

I don't know for a fact that Sanders won't drop out before June 7, but I suspect that he won't.

BTW, doesn't the fact that Sanders is soundly beaten almost everywhere by Clinton despite the fact that he outspends her kinda undermines his message about money in politics?

If by "almost everywhere" you mean the South, yes she beat him soundly there.
Where else has she soundly beaten him? Ohio. Then Illinois and Massachusetts (were they big wins for her?) then Nevada, the remaining two Iowa and Missouri she won with less than a majority.

As for money, it doesn't seem to be having a big effect this year. People can get their information from the internet now. People can watch the debates and they are. So ads are less effective than in the past.

Facebook is a way to get a message out without a lot of money.

I've seen only a few of his commercials, so it hasn't influenced me. I have gotten my information elsewhere. Nevertheless, this is only one of his issues. It may not be as big a problem as it used to be. He has other issues that he has talked about besides this. It has been one that he has talked about a lot, but he has talked about other ones with equal enthusiasm.

He also hasn't gotten as much media attention. Not as much as Trump anyway. Trump hasn't needed to spend as much money. He is always all over the news. He likes to complain about all these protesters, but they are only giving him more. I do think that Sanders has benefited from his money. Without it who would have ever thought that he had a chance? He needed to outspend Clinton to level the race and make it fairer. Everyone knows who she is. Most people didn't know he is and many probably who aren't following the race, still don't.

Wow this forum hates Bernie even more then Washington does.

The guy couldn't do it in the south. He couldn't do it in the upper Midwest aside from a fluke in Michigan. His appeal is limited to caucus states, parts of the northeast, and Dixiecrats who always vote R in the general. He has no winning coalition and needs to drop out if he cares about stopping Donald Trump.

all I know is Democratic turnout will probably be super low with Hillary as the nominee. Even though people are voting for Clinton they like Sanders as well. (Not as much hate as this forum)

Although Clinton is the one turning out Hispanics/African Americans; basically 2/3rd of the Obama coalition.

I'd love to see Bernie supporters bragging if they had the numbers HRC has

He has plenty to brag about. He has come from behind to beat her in many states. Michigan by a small margin, when nobody thought it possible and a number of small states by large margins. He is behind, but he has done well enough considering how far he has come.

Don't forget he has almost the entire establishment party against him. He has no Senators and six representatives behind him. His wins are impressive, if you ask me.
