The Deal for Bernie Sanders

[Ice29]

Here's the deal... The 11 Delegates that went to Hillary in West Virginia is far more valuable to her, than the 16 Delegates that Bernie Sanders got is to Him because everything is a downhill battle now for her.
So because the delegates are proportionally distributed, she can't lose at THIS point.
A win for Bernie, is a win for Hillary... UNLESS he takes so many Delegates in each state, that she can't benefit from the number of Delegates that she gets... which is next to impossible.
He can't get the Unanimous decision in this boxing match.... to win he's got to knock her out.

And the democratic delegates are culturally very bigoted against Appalachian and Ozark and Southern states, So even by winning in a place like West Virginia, he probably can't use that as influence very effectively to get Hillary's superdelegates to join his side.

Which is exactly what he needs to accomplish, along with denying her enough pledged delegates so that HE can win the race to 2,383 Delegates.

Both of which are as improbable as winning by playing roulette.

He would have to go to convention and somehow magically get the majority of Hillary's Superdelegates which short of illegally paying them... is improbable.

That is good news since Bernie who is a ridiculous, idiotic, douchebag of epic proportions is actually a more formidable opponent for the next president of the USA, The Donald than Crooked Hillary.

If you compare this to warfare, all that is happening now, is that they're flinging the kamakazes and baka bombs at her.

Something outside the 'process' would be necessary to sink either Don or Hillary, or both. Given bizarre American politics, almost everything is possible.
Most likely, it will be pretty boring. The present 'front runners' will get their parties' nominations, will viciously attack one another, a 'Pyhrric' victory will go to the Democrat and another four years of acrimony will ensue. The two-party dictatorship will be further re-enforced and the people will continue to pick up the tab.

Hillary will be the nominee, but Sanders has won 19 states.
That hardly sounds like overwhelming support for Clinton.

But the Left keeps telling itself she will beat Trump badly.
