11. I would like to know where the delegates that would get him to 1991 are - which states?

He has to get 64% of all the remaining delegates. That means if he falls to 55% in any state, he has to get 74% in an equivalent size state.

As of now, with more than half the states/territories voting, Sanders has gotten as high 64% of the delegates in only three of them - Vermont (his home state), Nevada, and Northern Marianas, which gave him only 4 delegates. His AVERAGE in the first 30 is only 36%, his average since Buttigieg/Klobuchar dropped out is still only 39%.

If he's only done that in three of thirty contests, how is he going to do it in all the remaining 27? Answer - he's NOT.

Where are these magical delegates going to come from?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

We know that. Sanders knows that, too. MineralMan Mar 2020 #13

It is appearing that he cares only about himself and his ego NCProgressive Mar 2020 #14

So why do you think he was a no-show for the first vote on the emergency funding bill? ehrnst Mar 2020 #32

Yes, he's trying to have a positive impact but his tactics are backfiring. As they say.... George II Mar 2020 #33

The way he has run campaign, who he has hired, his supports have consistently shown the difference LizBeth Mar 2020 #30

Exactly. The hiring of JILL FUCKING STEIN supporters to run his campaign... NurseJackie Mar 2020 #36

Right on. And he wanted to be President. What kind of thinking does it take to hire anti the people LizBeth Mar 2020 #37
