I think there's a good chance that Bernie receives fewer votes overall but carries more states - there's reason to believe that he can carry MI, WI, and PA and I don't know which states he loses that Clinton won What needs to be taken into account is that Bernie was never gonna win Florida in a million years. Clinton legitimately had a solid shot at Ohio Florida and North Carolina and lost because, ironically, she took a hard stand on abortion during the debates when she didn't have to. That's what she should be most embarassed about. She bet the farm on winning ANY ONE of those three states and lost them all. Sanders, I think, has a legitimate shot at still losing Pennsylvania Ohio Florida and North Carolina while almost assuredly losing Virginia and Nevada. He probably picks up 1 EV in Maine plus Wisconsin and Michigan though. I also think that the myth that Trump was a 'historically weak candidate' needs to go away. He got out the vote HARD using voters who don't normally vote which is the hardest trick in politics. Popularity polls may have shown he was unpopular but not enough of the people who hate him the most (18-24 age bracket) voted - and they never really do outside of 2008 Obama. --- Board 8's Voice of Reason http://i.imgur.com/chXIw06.jpg <cite>Eddv posted [p:886045309] in Politics C...
