Bernie Math - illogical thinking

[Princess Turandot]

7. In sports discussions, esp. in baseball, that's called the 'fallacy of the predetermined outcome'...

The runner on first base takes too big of a lead off the base and gets picked off. The player who's up batting hits the next pitch out of park. There are people who will insist that had the runner not gotten picked off, the team would've scored two runs because the home run would still have occurred on that next pitch.

There's no assurance that he would have still won victories had his caucus-winning states been primaries instead.
Whatever the format of any state's election, the truth of the matter is that given the generally low turnout, there were millions more qualifying voters who could have shown up and voted for Sanders, if he was as universally popular as he fantasizes that he is. They didn't. For example, in NYS, he whinged endlessly about how the closed primary was so unfair to him. But ~3 million of ~5 million registered Democrats did not vote at all in the primary. Perhaps he should have tried wooing them.
