It looks like Bernie did hit his delegate target last night

[firebrand80]

or at least he came close

According to thegreenpapers.com he got 18 of 29 available, which is roughly 62%. I believe most estimates had him needing 65% moving forward, so it looks like we came close.

The problem for him is that WV was probably the most favorable state left on the map.

1. I doubt that ...Oregon is coming!

[CrowCityDem]

3. Maybe. A poll yesterday had Hillary ahead there.

[firebrand80]

5. He will win, but it's not a caucus

So I doubt you'll see anything much than a 10 pt win

[Bluenorthwest]

20. West Virginia not a caucus, a Closed Primary in fact. Bernie by 14 or 15%....

2. In other words, he's further behind his target than he was yesterday morning. Victory?

[morningfog]

4. No. He did fine. Hillary needs 309 more PDs, Bernie needs 589 more. 897 left.

THe race continues until June 7.

[CrowCityDem]

8. But he needed to win X% yesterday, and it's X+something% today. The road is even harder.

[morningfog]

10. 65.6% to 65.7%. It is marginally harder, but for all intents and purposes, just as hard.

[CrowCityDem]

11. Meaning my initial comment was right.

[morningfog]

12. Only if you accept the "targets" as set by others, which I don't.

[CrowCityDem]

14. The target is simply how many delegates he needs. His percentage now is more than yesterday.

[morningfog]

15. His target is what others think he needs for each contest. It is a guide, not a

requirement. The percentage is a real number. It increased marginally.

[CrowCityDem]

18. Which means he lost ground relative to what he needs. How bad are you at math?

[morningfog]

19. Re-read this sub thread. You started with the "target" bit

I corrected you and have been accurate throughout.

Keep you insults rattling around your head. You are ill equipped to insult me.

[frylock]

22. Was there a Math curriculum at Brock U?

[morningfog]

6. He is going to take OR, ND, SD and MT.

He may take NM. CA and NJ are the last big battles.

[seabeyond]

7. So, he is further behind?

[Arkansas Granny]

9. I've always heard that close only counts in hand grenades and horse shoes.

[RogerM]

13. 3 more weeks than he will fade

CA and NJ will take care of Bernie. Trump voters will not be able to vote for Bernie in CA and NJ.

[morningfog]

17. lol. I love how Hillary supporters say CA and NJ will end it. No shit! It's the last day of voting.

LOL>

DC is a week later, but June 7 is essentially the end of the primary.

[lagomorph777]

16. Yup, here are the numbers

Total Clinton Sanders
4051 1716 1430

To reach 2026, Bernie needs 596 more PDs. That is 66% of remaining delegates, same as before WV.

[GreatGazoo]

21. He'll end his primary campaign around July 28th or so

then on to the GE!
