Related: About this forumA couple of delegate graphs - 2008 vs 2016 - Hillary is UNSTOPPABLE!
Hillary ran a great campaign in 2008, but could never catch Obama in delegates. Hillary is way ahead of Bernie in delegates compared to 2008.

(9,070 posts)3. You are correct...the gap grows with every primary!
If you look at endorsements, delegates, money, organization, and union support...if there was a mercy rule in politics the game would have been stopped months ago.
