    I'm not talking about money.
    Mathematically he can't get the delegates needed to secure the nomination.

    That's not true

    Well that is what is being reported.
    Tell me how it's wrong and how he can win the magic number.

    Is this article incorrect?
    http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/22/us/politics/delegate-count-leaving-bernie-sanders-with-steep-climb.html?_r=0

    If it is then we are all being lied to on a global scale.

    Of coarse it is being reported! The media does not want him to win, the media is owned by corporate interests therefore they're backing Hillary. I have to look it up I posted an article re: this. In essence, eight years ago we were right here the same place. Hillary had superdelegates 3 to 1 over Obama.

    It would be very easy for sanders party to report how many delegates he has and how many more he needs to win.

    Yes. Look it up.

    You need 2,382 to win, right now Hilary has 609 and Bernie has 412, so he's not even close to being mathematically eliminated. If you add in superdelegates it's 1,066 to 432, which still isn't even close to mathematically eliminating him but also doesn't necessarily matter because they can flip their vote before the convention.

    This is from the beginning of the third paragraph from the above article.
    Mrs. Clinton has 502 delegates to Mr. Sanders’s 70; 2,383 are needed to win the nomination. These numbers include delegates won in state contests and superdelegates, who can support any candidate.

    Who is right? You or?

    Bernie absolutely has more than 70. That looks like pre-Super Tuesday numbers.

    You're right.
    It's confusing with all different numbers being reported.

    The problem is two things. 1. The date that article was published, Feb. 21st, many states have voted since then and 2. It's counting superdelegates which 95%+ of have sided with Hilary so far and could flip at any point if Bernie starts winning an overwhelming amount of the state contests.

    Why does the American system seem so damn corrupt?
    How can the parties flip at anytime?
    After winning I can understand, - par for the course.
    But to campaign and lead only to switch?
    Why?

    I don't know if Bernie will win, but I don't think the trumpet will. That was what my disappointment comment was geared to. And come on, is there only one person here allowed to make "funny" comments?

    And actually, yes, I think Mr. Sanders has a realistic chance. I would love for him to win.


    And you know what? I take the glue sniffing comment back. I don't want to be like that. Woot :relaxed:

    Bernie won Kansas. It's not over. Poobah to the doubters! :smiley:

    P.S. Not really sure what "Poobah" means but some how it fits, haha.

    Go Bernie!

    Bernie won 2 out of three last night sweeping 100% of the delegates in Kansas. He very well CAN win, all you haters.
