inb4 538 sucks, Sanders has a real chance, Hillary is not inevitable.

I think it's a pretty good read. Thoughts?

For real though, I'm glad someone finally said 538 sucks.  It's been so disappointing.  In 2008 and 2012 Nate Silver was fantastic, and then he hired a bunch of kids who couldn't get into Gawker and now it's just all cheap throwaway articles with shallow analysis.

That said this article is obviously misleading because 2008 was a three-way race with Edwards while 2016 is a two-way race.  I bet Sanders is polling ahead of Obama in a lot of those states too.

Also I think the lack of party support for Sanders may be because he isn't a Democrat...

And by the way, last time I checked Chris Christie was leading their endorsement primary (or maybe he was in close second)... so much for that.

To be fair, this was written by Harry Enten, so there's no reasonable expectation of good quality.

We get it, Harry Enten doesn't like Sanders. *yawn* Hasn't he posted this same sh**t a bunch of times?

[Mehmentum]

Well, he's right of course.  The only way I see Clinton loosing is if she's indicted.
