I usually go for the unpredictable surprises. I think he drops tomarrow. He would know he got swept in all the states besides his home and the outlook is grim on the 15th. Staying in untill the 15th is a waste of time and money.

If thats the case yes but it seems there is a possibility he could win Oklahoma and maybe one more state. Also its proportional so he will stay close in delegate numbers, supers nonwithstanding. I bet he drops the 15th.
After they added the SoonerPoll that had Clinton ahead, Oklahoma now dropped from an 84 chance for Bernie win it, to now a nearly 50 50 chance for Bernie.

So does every campaign ever until they drop out.
r/politics front page tomorrow night is going to be about 10 different threads on "Bernie CRUSHES Hillary in Vermont!!!", 10 different threads for the other random state he might eke a win in, 10 threads on "Bernie never dropping out! Ever!" and about 25 threads linking to psychics predicting which date in the next week Hillary is getting arrested on, for sure for real this time.
(I'll be there too).

literally no polling until the past week
Not a chance, he's got more money than Shillary
Grind it out? After tomorrow I'll be surprised if she even acknowledges Sanders going forward. In her SC speech she said "This campaign is going national!" and I don't think that meant just for Super Tuesday. She's turning toward the GE after tomorrow.

Jeb! quit because he realized there was not even a remote chance to beat Trump. Rubio should not clinge to the hope of a brokered convention or any other sort of Hail Mary surge in the polls. If that possibility was real, Jeb would still be in the race.

He's going to all fifty states. He explicitly stated why; it's about fairness in democracy, not winning the nomination. So yeah, I absolutely believe that Bernie's going to go the distance, and he certainly won't have trouble getting there financially.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
I really want to know if the establishment will give up on stopping Trump. Some have come to terms with it and are probably trying to curry favor with him early.
Why is Carson even still in this? I honestly forgot he was still running. His campaign must be some elaborate money laundering scheme or something. Lol
If Bernie Sanders has a "good day" tomorrow, he wins Massachusetts, Vermont, and Oklahoma. A "bad day" for Clinton means that she wins Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Tennessee, Texas, and Virgina. It is tough to imagine a scenario in which Sanders can really come out with any kind of momentum. If Clinton takes Massachusetts or Oklahoma, then things look really bad for him.
Jeb's campaign ran out of money and the donors abandoned him (Super PAC money wouldn't help him there). It didn't seem like he was running a thrifty campaign either so he had to give it up.
Jeb! was giving out turtles saying slow and steady wins the race and then proceeded to drop out within a week or 2.
Clinton and Drumph seem to be the headliners.
Well, haven't we seen that a lot of his key staff are funneling advertising/marketing contracts to companies they own or have stake in? Those guys would be telling Carson to keep going until the cash is gone. Carson himself seems content to sleepwalk and mention his book every once in a while.

He got money but hes losing big time. Its not how much you have its how you spend what you do have and Hillary is spending it where it counts. Quality over Quanity. Sanders could have 100x the amount that Hillary does and he would still be losing.

It will be dead if his supporters don't use all this energy to turn out in the midterm elections.
You mean the Molecule Men? I thought that would be obvious, they're the voters.

And is he going to continue to ask for donations to fund it?

Jeb! said the exact same shit. As did Hillary in 08, and that was a far, far, FAR closer race.

Should be donated to charity, really.

As a bernie supporter that's stupid. A waste of donations and support that could be going to the person who's actually going to be on the GE DNC ticket. At the very least even if those supporters are the libertarian "we'll just vote for Trump then" supporters, give it to charity. Assuming of course he doesn't pull off some Super Tuesday Miracle

Democrats in Oklahoma:
EDIT: and that's with the open primary
i think OK and MS are the worse states to be a democrat voter

I'm not American, expecting a Trump vs Hilary election. I'd be pretty surpirsed if Sanders wins.
But please GAF, don't let Trump become the next president of the USA. I mean, come on.
Please.

Sure. Not only is he perfectly within his right to do so, it will allow him to campaign in all 50 states.
Bernie is presumably viable in all 50 states; it's only fair that he gives each state the chance to choose their candidate in a proper contest. The US is a representative democracy. If there is more than one viable candidate, each state has the right to proportional representation.
This isn't about the closeness of the race. It's about the fundamental tenets of a representative democracy.
If you have two viable candidates, let them compete for votes, regardless of the significance of the state. No state should have to just accept an uncontested primary simply because their delegate count won't matter. If a state proportionally assigns delegates, the states votes should be represented proportionally.
People are free to use their money however they please. Nobody's forcing them to donate to Bernie.
When all states have had their votes represented, we can talk about what needs to be done in the GE. It's gonna be a long GE anyway.

I wonder if this will somehow influence the outcome for the GOP:
Looking to November: Clinton, Sanders both top Trump - CNNPolitics.com
Does that warrant a own thread? If so, someone please make one ^^

I think if Bernie doesn't win MA and "do well" or win Colorado and Minnesota he is done.
Sanders does much better than Clinton against Cruz and Rubio. Huh.

Well known for a while. Anti establishment popularity. Hillary doesn't have that angle against them. He does better among independents.

nice delegate map for both sides
Is there a post that links to all the 'cast lists' that have been released over the various electoral shenanigans?
Have we done The Muppets yet? 'cause Mr. Drumpf is a ringer for Miss Piggy.

Just voted in MA. in and out in a few minutes
Hillary actually did it though
Granted she was also still winning primaries in May
how are you defining viable?
why is that?
I would agree with that
I live in OK and could vote straight party D until the day I die and not see a single benefit from it, and in fact seems I more often than not face malice from it, not only from Okies but from people here too.
I mean it is what it is, but the fact remains that the GOP has a stranglehold on this state to the point I don't even know how to protest it anymore.

Consistently holding more than 15-20% of the vote, as the states themselves define it.
If he was sitting at 5%, he wouldn't get delegates anyway, so that actually would be a waste of time. But if he's viable enough to get delegates, he should compete for them, regardless of the state. That's an actual representative democracy.
