Did Bernie reach his delegate target or miss it again?

Anyone got the numbers?

1. What happened is that Hillary lost another primary....

Is she losing control of the Democratic primary or is she practicing for an upcoming loss to Trump?

Stay tuned!

[JaneyVee]

2. Sometimes that happens when you spend $0

Probably part of a strategy to not blow millions on 3 delegates when youre up by hundreds.

8. prediction: Hillary starts running ads again

[JaneyVee]

11. Maybe for the last hurrah in June.

4. Didn't Obama lose 7 of the last 10 primaries in 2008? nt

[JaneyVee]

5. Obama lost 21 states.

9. a bad strategy for a campaign "trudging up the hill"

[JaneyVee]

12. Trudging up the hill was a dig at Bernie.

13. Sure it was........in actuality it was a joke written by a professional comedy writer.

3. He missed it by a great deal

He can not win. And the email he sent about down ballot races was inaccurate and disgusting. It seems he has decided to destroy our chances in the fall.

6. Oh no, what did he do now?

[Codeine]

7. Bernie started to believe his own press, bless his heart.

The worst thing a protest candidate can do is convince themselves they're going to win. He went in to move the conversation left, which he achieved admirably. But then at some point the rallies and accolades convinced him he might be President, and he got excited.

Now he's bitter because it's falling apart. He's forgotten it never really fell together.

Don't get high on your own supply.

10. Perhaps no one inside the bubble told him hes losing?

[Demsrule86]

16. He certainly does believe his own press and what a great explanation ...spot on.

I can't imagine what Bernie is thinking...are people telling him he as a chance? Is it about the money? I don't know. I just know he lost and there is no point to any of his blather.

14. Missed it big time

[MineralMan]

15. Yes, he did. The target was 44.

So, as of today, Hillary has 108% of her target, and Bernie has 92%. No change in those percentages after Indiana.

Sanders picked up a few delegates, but didn't make much of a dent in Hillary's pledged delegate lead. Indiana just doesn't have enough delegate to help with only a small win for Sanders.

It's still all about the delegate math.

17. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.

From the looks of things, it's mostly bad and ugly when it comes to Bernie's actual chances.

If Sanders won each of the remaining primaries and caucuses by 30 points each – an improbable task, to be sure – he’d still come up short. That’s how significant his current deficit it. None of this, by the way, factors superdelegates into the equation. I’m referring only to pledged delegates, earned exclusively through nominating contests decided by rank-and-file voters.

Unfortunately for his ardent fans, this equation includes Indiana, where he prevailed last night with a six-point victory, but where he needed a win that was vastly larger if he intends to catch up to the rival he trails. It may seem counter-intuitive, but a modest win in Indiana actually leaves Sanders worse off than he was 24 hours ago – it was not only too narrow a victory, it also shrinks the number of remaining opportunities he’ll have to close the gap.
