What does Bernie's uphill climb to take the nomination look like?

Just for funsies, I did the numbers on the feasibility of Bernie coming up with enough delegates to win the nomination.

According to the return you get when you google "democratic delegate count," Senator Sanders currently has 1,876 delegates in his column, counting both pledged (1,828) and super (48) delegates. He needs to come up with 2,383 of them to send Hillary home.

There are at this moment 112 PD and SD still available. Since we're just scratching here, let's assign all 112 to Bernie. Now he has 1,988.

Subtract what he has from his goal and he has to convince 395 delegates to see the righteousness of his platform and switch allegiances to him. Which actually means, since we are Democrats and Democrats are authorized to change their minds, Bernie - who hasn't had good luck at earning superdelegates so far - has to flip 443 of Hillary's SDs to be sure because there's no guarantee the ones he has won't drop him en masse like a boiled rock.

What does this all mean? Simply put, that because the odds of the American people actually voting for a Manhattan Nazi are even lower than their voting for a socialist...



this is what the 45th President of the United States looks like.
