Sanders, losing in delegates to Clinton, claims 'path to victory'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Bernie Sanders — who is winning delegate contests against Hillary Clinton but not catching up much in terms of actual delegates — insists he has a path to the Democratic presidential nomination, starting with primaries in New York and Pennsylvania.

"We believe that we have the momentum," Sanders said Sunday on ABC's This Week. "We believe that the polling is showing that we're closing the gap."

The Vermont senator toured a string of Sunday shows a day after beating Clinton by double digits in the Wyoming caucuses — though Clinton will wind up with more convention delegates thanks to "superdelegates" who can back any candidate they want.

Speaking on NBC's Meet The Press, Sanders said he has cut Clinton's lead by one-third in recent weeks, won eight of the last nine delegate contests, and is moving up in national polls against both Clinton and potential Republican opponents.

1. He lives in a world of make-believe

[liberal N proud]

2. Makes you wonder about his math skills

The President of the United States needs to be the sharpest tool in the shed and not the dull knife.

[Her Sister]

3. Suuuuuure that makes sense!!!

Aha!

[DemonGoddess]

4. Well, he can wish it was so

but the math doesn't support it.

[livetohike]

5. It is a little sad to see someone so detached from reality.

Reminds me of McCain when he chose Palin.

[pandr32]

29. Good comparison!

Sanders is lying to his supporters, but more importantly, he seems to be lying to himself--and quite convincingly

[otohara]

6. Translation = Keep Those Donations Coming

promises to Bern down the Democratic party.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

9. Well I just donated $25 to Hillary

So that offset the Bern a bit.

[otohara]

10. I'll Do The Same

you inspired me.

[KewlKat]

13. I could only do $10 today. I need shoes.

I've put that off as long as I could. Wish we could do more.

I have thought of doing some Hillary buttons/magnets and sell them for a bit more than my supplies in hopes I could give more. Noone around me is a Dem..... so not sure how I could sell them. Maybe I should just figure out another theme then politics and it wouldn't matter. Maybe goofy pet stuff sayings or something.

[Fla Dem]

25. My thought exactly. Gotta keep the dream alive or the $25 donations will dry up.

[Cha]

7. He's also whining on TV that Hillary said he was "unqualified" to be President.

[Kber]

8. I'm starting to think he isn't

[pandr32]

30. Yep!

The truth has been pointed out to him...yet...

[Thinkingabout]

11. Hillary needs 593 more delegates, Sanders needs 1290, he has to more than double her delegate

Count and more to get the required delegates.

[OilemFirchen]

12. "I'm so confident I'm going to win New York..."

"that I'm leaving the country right before the primary."

#FeelTheGrift

[KewlKat]

14. Twilight zonish.....don't ya think?

How else can one explain his "confidence"?

[OilemFirchen]

15. He's good at the game.

Been practicing it all of his adult life.

Look at the money that pours his way and the explanations: He won something. He lost something. Someone said something nice about him. Someone said something mean about him. He's losing. He's winning. The media's ignoring him. The media's finally paying attention to him.

His supporters are fish and he's trained them to eat anything.

[NuclearDem]

21. Indeed. Tad and Jeff are laughing all the way to the bank with their $800k salaries.

Graciously paid by innumerable $27 donations.

[OhZone]

16. Yeah, leaving the country -

He's lucky he isn't running against Cruz. He'd claim he suspended his campaign to go on vacation in Europe.

[KittyWampus]

24. He's confident like Karl Rove was confident Ohio was going to McCain...

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

27. I remember that

That was on Fox Noise where he had that meltdown. Don't typically watch that channel. I think because Obama was winning I just wanted to gloat.

[Haveadream]

17. If his judgment of his chances

is anything like his judgment on the issues, we will have truly dodged a bullet by electing Hillary. Isn't it a reflection of their characters that, even when Hillary is 2.5 MILLION people ahead, she is optimistic but not showboating and Bernie is proclaiming, "We've got a path to victory!"? I wish he would take all that money he keeps raking in and give it to people who actually need it.

[George II]

18. Did he say it was HIS path to victory, or Clinton's?

[Walk away]

19. Bernie used to be our Trump...now he is turning into out Kasich!

I can't wait until he's our Rick Perry!

[George II]

20. Let's hope he doesn't become our Harold Stassen.

[Walk away]

23. Can you imagine Bernie Sanders trying to primary Hillary in 2020????

I can. He would lose miserably but he would definitely try. He is certainly capable of running until the day he dies.

[pandr32]

31. Who else would he be?

What else would he do? He could write a book, but we already know what he would say pretty much word for word, so why buy it? He could go back to folk singing/rapping, but he was terrible. Pretty much the only thing that would be open to him is to play a living version of the old man muppet in the theatre box (along with Larry David) on SNL.

[LiberalFighter]

22. If allocated delegates for NY are Clinton: 145 and Sanders: 102

Sanders would need over 59% of the remaining pledged delegates instead of over 56.6%.

Sure he has reduce the lead by a bit but not as much as he had hoped considering he didn't meet the target.

For some reason he thinks he won 8 of the last 9. That is an odd selection for him to use. So which of the first of nine is he including? From March 22 to April 9 there were 8 contests starting with Arizona and ending with Wyoming. The contests immediately preceding Arizona were held on March 15th and included Florida, Illinois, Missouri, North Carolina, and Ohio. Which of those is included in the last 9? Why would he include any of them when Clinton won 4 of the 5 and the 5th was a tie.

Is he trying to confuse people?

[Tarc]

26. Sanders "path to victory" is ~57% in every remaining contest

Unicorns & leprechauns.

[nruthie]

28. I believe he's starting to sound sort of pathetic.
