I'm questionable on Bernie winning NV, and NM. I could see IL being a toss up too
Bernie won't win the burbs.
So not quite a 40 state prediction, but it'll be a bloodbath.
Some national and state Democratic party leaders concerned about Sen. Bernie Sanders‘ candidacy are willing to risk a messy, brokered national convention this summer, which could be potentially damaging to the party, to prevent the self-described Democratic socialist from becoming the nominee
Of the 93 superdelegates the Times interviewed, a majority expressed an “overwhelming opposition” to naming Sanders the party’s nominee if he wins a plurality of pledged delegates before the Democratic National Convention in July.
The vast majority also predicted that no candidate would secure the party’s nomination during the primaries and that there will be a brokered convention, the Times reported.
Only nine superdelegates the Times spoke to supported Sanders becoming the nominee if he’s short of a majority at the convention but holds the most delegate votes.
The second ballot vote could lead to a potentially contentious floor fight, given that all delegates become unpledged after the first vote.
The Times report comes as the party is torn between nominating a moderate or progressive candidate who they feel can best take on President Donald Trump. The superdelegates who spoke to the Times shows the growing anxiety establishment Democrats feel in having Sanders as their nominee.
The party leaders interviewed by the Times were concerned that Sanders would lose to Trump in the general election and hurt down ballot races in swing states, the newspaper reported.
The Times reported that Democrats have suggested to Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown, who decided against running for president, to fight for the nomination at a brokered convention or urged former President Barack Obama to negotiate a truce.

Definitely an uphill battle. Not what you want when going up against the cult, the money, and the russian assistance of Trump.
However- MI, WI, and PA will go trump.
sanders is currently beating trump in two of those states and the other one is a statistical tie.
This sounds reasonable for people who prefer Bernie not be the candidate.I don't really worry about the superdelegates that much.
What I think is more likely is that there isn't a massive separation between Bernie and Candidate #2 (likely Biden), but Bernie is ahead. If Bloomberg manages to hobble his way on massive $ and ends up holding a reasonably large number of delegates though he is in 3rd place, who's to say that he doesn't endorse Biden and recommend that his supporters vote for him? What if Biden has more delegates as a result? There is nobody on the left who can do the same for Bernie because realistically barring some miracle, Warren simply won't be holding that many delegates.
This sounds reasonable for people who prefer Bernie not be the candidate.
if I were a Bernie supporter I would say anybody that voted Bloomberg absolutely 100% rejected Biden.
and to have a billionaire buy the election for Biden would be enough to make me sit this out

I am kind of agnostic on Bernie, but negative on Biden so either option is a bit
They literally changed the nominating process to what it is now because of complaints from the Sanders campaign over 2016... sooooo yea, there's that.
Number of states isn't really that important, Al Gore got credit for 20 States, and lost by one? Electoral vote
Of course I will always believe that he truly got more votes in Florida so with 21 states. He won the election by several electoral votes
after the 2000 election I became obsessed with how we vote and the electoral college,
Of course this would never happen,
if a candidate won I think the 13 largest states by 51% they would get the election, and they can lose all the other states by 80 - 20%
Also, if Bernie ends up winning the nomination, will he and Biden sit down and work more moderate policies into the platform and policies of his campaign moving forward like Clinton did with Sanders?
Sorry, I thought you guys needed a good laugh for the day.
will a single one of these candidates except for warren support him even half that much?
