Please predict Bernie Sanders' victory margin in NY now that he met The Pope

[Congruente]

Let's predict the percentage by which Bernie Sanders will defeat Hillary Clinton on the Catholic-heavy state of NY.
I'm going with 52-48% or 53-47%.

[brooklynite]

1. Sanders loses by 8

[beam me up scottie]

2. Why would you want to do that when you support Hillary?

[Congruente]

3. i am realistic

I understand the implications of the meeting.

[beam me up scottie]

4. Nice to see you again, how've you been?

[Congruente]

5. What's your forecast?

?

[agracie]

34. ^^^newly employed^^^

[daleanime]

6. What's going to happen, will happen. We are fighting an uphill battle.....

against a system that's perfectly wealt....I mean 'happy' with the status quo. I just fear for the future if we fail.

[Congruente]

7. I give up. Sanders supporters just won't make a forecast

I don't understand why the shyness about predicting an outcome.
It's almost as if you think your guy is gonna lose!

[daleanime]

10. No, we too busy. There's a small rally in Corning at 12....

And then phone banking this afternoon. There's a future we'd like to build out there. Why not join us?

[Congruente]

13. Too busy to type five or six wods?

Okay.

[djean111]

23. Sorry, but it feels, call me crazy, like you are just attempting to poke at us.

So, not playing. Whatever happens, happens. Simple as that!

[mythology]

37. To be fair it doesn't seem like a particularly sincere question

[Arkansas Granny]

8. He will probably get a bump, but i don't think there is enough time to make a difference in the

outcome. Sanders is trailing Clinton by an average 13.8 points in NY.

9. He'll lose by double digits.

A Kim Davis stunt won't move a significant number of votes here.

[Congruente]

11. I highly doubt it winning by 10% or more would be a huge achievement for Clinton

In light of the fact that her opponent just met one of the most important people in the world highly admired by Catholics.

[Zynx]

12. Only a non-Catholic would think Catholics vote like that.

[NightWatcher]

14. Lets predict instead how bad Hillary will lose the General now that she has been so nasty

She might want to start thinking about the General and how people will perceive her actions now.

She's not exactly creating a warm fuzzy with anyone who's not already a strong supporter. Independents don't like her and her unfavorables are over 50%.

[livetohike]

15. Minus 12 n/t

[MoonRiver]

16. Silly post.

Bernie will lose by double digits, all pope pandering aside.

[MoonRiver]

18. You are certainly entitled to your opinion. eom

[brush]

32. It's a closed primary so independents won't skew things towards Sanders, and New Yorkers are . . .

are pretty savvy. They won't fall for the Pope pandering, especially the many more millions of dems who aren't Catholic.

Remember, Hillary was a twice elected US Senator in New York and bought home millions after the 9/11 attacks.

She'll win easily.

[The Old Lie]

19. Higher.

It'll be 77-23.

[Funtatlaguy]

20. Oh from your keyboard to the John King results board

But, an awful lot of ground to make up....
I'd just love to not see it not called early in the night...and be close to the end.

As for Catholic voting, how weird would it be for Bernie to win the Cathoic vote but lose the Jewish vote.
It really doesn't seem like it is identity politics with This election, it is more philosophy.
Small change vs Big (huge) change.

[workinclasszero]

21. I predict Bernie loses by 12% or more

[katsy]

22. I don't think SBS met with the pope to get a bump

in NY. The conference wasn't organized or scheduled around our primary election. That's crazy.

I support SBS and think HRC wins NY.

[Cal Carpenter]

24. Incongruente n/t

[Gomez163]

28. My Goldie Sax check has not arrived yet.

[Gomez163]

35. Nope. Got the Soros check.

[LiberalFighter]

26. -15

[Gomez163]

27. He will win by a BILLION!!!!!!

[DrDan]

29. I'll delay my prediction until after the SNL reenactment

[RandySF]

30. He loses 56% to 44%

[HassleCat]

31. I can see why you would predict that way.

Pandering is generally an effective campaign tactic, and meeting with a religious leader is usually pandering to members of that religion. Sanders, of course, doesn't care whether or not it gains him any votes. This is impossible for mainstream members of our party to accept because they have not seen a candidate pass up a pander op for many, many years.

[rock]

36. No change

So let's say Hillary by 16%. ("I met the Pope! Vote for me!" Ha ha! Almost as funny as, "I can't beat Hillary, but I can beat Trump! Vote for me!&quot

[grossproffit]

38. 128% It's gonna be EPIC!
