Didn't Sanders win 15 primaries and Hillary 19, pretty close I mean Hillary won states with more delegates. However, still optimistic 3 big delegate states coming up PA, NY, and CA. If that's a BIG IF Sanders can come out on top in those states and take delegates away from Clinton this race will be tight. He's guaranteed to take Wyoming, Wisconsin, Oregon, Montana, South/North Dakota.
Feeling won't take CT, RI, Delaware, Maryland, New Mexico, Kentucky, and D.C.
These states can go either way Indiana, New Jersey, and West Virginia.

No it's 20-15 for contests, or 18-14 for states.
Sanders won many caucus states with ridiculously small number of voters

Haha, your bitterness is so blatant. Say after me, Daywalk: WE HATE CAUCUSES! WE WANT DEMOCRACY! incl. Iowa and Nevada of course, but it wasnt an issue for you then. Instead you talked up the victories as amazing and not ridiculous.
First, the Sanders campaign needs to stop feeding the right-wing disinformation machine. Engaging in innuendo suggesting, without evidence, that Clinton is corrupt is, at this point, basically campaigning on behalf of the RNC. If Sanders really believes, as he says, that it’s all-important to keep the White House out of Republican hands, he should stop all that – and tell his staff to stop it too.
Second, it’s time for Sanders to engage in some citizenship. The presidency isn’t the only office on the line; down-ballot races for the Senate and even the House are going to be crucial. Clinton has been raising money for other races; Sanders hasn’t, and is still being evasive on whether he will ever do so. Not acceptable.
When he was crowing about how much money he had raised in an interview this week - he was asked if he would share some of that money for some of the down-ballot races and he was incredibly coy. Basically, no answer. Of course Hillary has raised money for other races.

Do you not think he will NEED other Democrats in Congress to accomplish even 1/10th of his promises?? He sure as hell ain't going to accomplish anything with a Republican congress. Surely even Bernie should know that. It almost seems like he doesn't care.

Asked about stealing money from his supporters to give to whoever he wishes. Nice...
Dems are getting bribe money to support her as many of them are superdelegates she counts on to stay loyal to her. Thats how this thing works. She can raise huge amounts from war corporations, banks and the drug industry in a return for favors to her Hillary Victory fund and channel it to the superdelegates. Sanders must spend every dime trying to overcome massive disadvantages at all levels of this race.

Surely, Democrats voting against Bernie Sanders and against their constituents in a scenario where Congress is about to vote on higher minimum wage or expansion of overtime regulations will be tarred and feathered in their home state and will be chucked out?
You need to realize that the OVERWHELMING majority of Dem voters SUPPORT Sanders agenda. Ironically, the strongest Hillary supporters, African Americans are OVERWHELMINGLY progressive.

That is total and complete BS.
IF Bernie has any chance at all of implementing even ONE of his ideas - he will need a Democratic Congress; yet he is unwilling to spend one dime helping those below him.

You failed to answer my question. If Bernie wants to enact ANY of his proposed legislation - will he not absolutely need a Democratic Congress?
Yes, he will. You've admitted that.
That being the case - why does he refuse to spend one dime helping any democratic congressmen/women to get elected.
Does he not care if his plans are implemented or does he just want the title?
They not only want him to give the nomination to Hillary, they want him to raise money to get more establishment Democrats in congress.

Well you don't support down stream Democrats who exactly does he think is going to support him in Congress, or does he have some magical bi-partisan wand that he can wave over the capitol rotunda.

Please peruse the New York Times delegate calculator. Sanders has to win by an average of 60% over every remaining contest to secure the nomination. Hillary only has to to lose by 45% to win.
