Is Bernie finished?

[Wisconsin+17]

Bernie needed a split. He didn't get it.

[Landslide Lyndon]

To catch up in delegates he needs to win every remaining primary by 18 points or more.
That has happened only twice: in Vermont and New Hampshire.

/r/SandersForPresident: Wait, so you're saying there is a chance? Let's get our coats back and mobilize the phone banks!

Fixed for you.

[HAnnA MArin County]

It was over in March. Tonight's win still won't calm down his supporters though.

Cue the accusations of fraud.

Every state he wins is the "people speaking", every state he loses is "fraud" because "nobody I know has voted for Hillary" -_-

Thank you!

He's slowly finding out that huge crowds full of college kiddies do not translate into election victories.

He needed at the bare minimum a win tonight, which he obviously did not get. While I do think March 1st was too early to call it, the delegate lead was just too high after March 15th. He'll still finish with probably over 45% of the pledged delegates, which isn't too shabby considering where he started.

He's not going to get 45% of pledged delegates. He's at 42% right now, and isn't favored in PA, CT, PR, CA, MD, or NJ, which between them have about two-thirds of the remaining pledgeds. The only states where he has a chance that even qualify as "medium" are IN, KY, and OR, which have fewer than half of the delegates of California alone. (And two are closed primaries.)

He's got a good chance in RI, WV, MT, ND, and SD.

True. Which have about 100 pledged delegates combined. EDIT: 112.

Can we make a deal?

If she still has a pledged delegate lead of 200+, requiring Bernie to win CA by 33%, after those five states vote, will you leave Atlas until Bernie drops out and never mention him again when you re-join?

Huh, what sort of deal is that?

[SUSAN CRUSHBONE]

the situation is the same as it has been for months: sanders is finished barring an indictment or some other earthshaking event

[Zanas]

To be honest he was finished when he failed to break 35% back in SC, no later. But he stayed for the heck of the game, and rightfully so.

He never started.

Got a real mathematician in that first quote. And a kid who just learned what SQL is last week and wanted to show off.

[Figueira]

Not over till it's over, but realistically yes it's over.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

He never started.

He did, but it became "lean over" after out of early states all but one (NH) voted for Hillary, and his viable path to defeat disappeared after an early March primaries. The primary schedule always favored Hillary (with the entire South already voting and playing a large part in providing her with a lead in delegates).

Not over till it's over, but realistically yes it's over.

Well, of course theoretically it's not over until she reached the magic number, and it's even more theoretically not over until she's formally nominated, but barring a major scandal breaking before that point or her (not very likely) death, Bernie has no viable path to victory.

I feel a little sorry for the Sandernistas. Their mommy and daddy can't fix this for them. But I heard there's a cool café where they sell only breakfast cereal opening up so there's somewhere you can go to totally geek out on the 90's and remember all those cereal commercials. And keep those Bernie t-shirts. You can wear them all ironically in 2019.

I really do wonder what it is about irrelevant presidential candidates that make good posters foam at the mouth.

I wouldn't give Bernie the time of day it wasn't for his supporters

Ah. Given some of the people on this forum, I can definitely see where you're coming from.

Daily Kos has a post right now about how Clinton won "only" 58% of her home state. (Never mind that she's also won 58% of her home country.) Surprisingly it has no recommendations, but the berniebros are probably still sleeping it off.
