Edit: LOL at GH calling someone out for being partisan. That's like Trump levels of lack of self-reflection. | ||

The fact is that more democratic primary voters prefer clinton to sanders. | ||

That's not quite what he wanted, but if he were to significantly overperform in Washington to the degree that he did in Idaho/Utah then this race is going to New York quite evenly. If he would've won Arizona, it would've been a /huge/ night for him. Assuming delegate distribution stays proportional, the final results will probably be something like: Arizona: Clinton 45 Sanders 30 Utah: Sanders 26 Clinton 7 Idaho: Sanders 17 Clinton 6 Democrats abroad: Sanders 9 Clinton 4 That's about 57%? Edit: fixed a number | ||

Where do you get the Arizona stat from? NYtimes has it at Clinton 41 Sanders 22 at the moment. | ||

Clinton is a brand, Bernie is an old man with ideas, but what will stay of those ideas in five years if he is not able to present himself again ? ten years ? Is there anyone that could take his political legacy and built it has an institutional current within the democrat party ? On the other hand, there will always be another Clinton. bernie doesnt even want to be a democrat and you expect him to build party institution? guy is only surviving for so long because vermont | ||

It's hard to ignore the fact that a significant portion of our party supports a lot of his ideas. A lot of people aren't focusing on feasibility and instead making it clear they want the country to head a different direction. I think it's a fair point to make. I definitely think Sanders will continue to have a lasting impact. | ||

only positive influence may be to talk hillary out of starting some land wars but id hope RAND is already doing that domestically i see some pure tax and spend from bernie. this is also not good enough and is out of the 1950's in tax policy. if he wants to accomplish some lasting change for the long term push for transparency related issues in international tax and accounting | ||

Tonight should be enough to push him towards New York, where he needs to win (or at least come close) which is the big test for him. Well, first big test  | ||

That essentially signals that Kasich is out of the race and does not have establishment support going into the convention, right? Was he actually ever in the race? He should've dropped out way earlier. That might have given Rubio a chance to challenge Trump/Cruz as well. | ||
