Why Bernie Sanders needs to start winning big states- big

While Bernie Sanders has fought a formidable race against frontrunner Hilary Clinton in this presidential race he is still falling behind her in national polls and delegates won.  He needs to win some big states with a lot of delegates if he wants to catch up to her.  Where do you think it is most likely that he will win and do you really thing he has a chance of ever beating her and becoming the democratic nominee?

  1. (Again, is there an article? The title of this post doesn't link to anywhere.) I think Bernie Sanders has a chance of being the Democratic presidential nominee. He really isn't that far behind Hilary Clinton in terms of delegates, so he can still catch up. I think Sanders will win New York because he was born there, and New York has a lot of delegates, so that woukd really help him.

  2. I think that Sanders will come close to closing the gap in the delegate count, especially as more northern states have their primaries. However, I think it will be very difficult for Sanders to get the nomination because of the Democratic super delegates and their overwhelming support of Clinton.

  4. I think it will be tough, but certainly possible for Sanders to receive the nomination. He has been polling well with many states to come.

  5. I don't think it's unrealistic to think that Sanders could win the nomination. Where he needs to pull are the states with more delegates that could pull for him against Hillary. Again, his polling is close to Clinton's. The Democratic Party candidates are appealing to different people. I think more people are unexpectedly turning towards Bernie because they are becoming more skeptical of Hillary's political ideology and integrity. Like Julia said, it would be huge if he won New York.

  6. I don't believe Sanders can get the nomination. Hillary is doing too well, and although they are close, I see Clinton expanding the gap soon. Additionally, I think a lot of Republicans are looking to the future if Trump gets the nominee, and I think Clinton isn't necessarily gaining votes, but support from the talk of voting Hillary over Trump in the general election.

  7. I think Sanders still has a chance at becoming the democratic nominee, but not as easy a chance as Clinton. Most of the remaining states still seem up for grabs. While Clinton may have been more well known and closer to the establishment, Sanders has done an effective job while campaigning. I think his appeal to the youngest age group has been very helpful. If Sanders continued on his path, it seems that the nominee position really could go to either candidate.

  8. Bernie hasn't been winning states by large enough margins to close the gap between him and Hillary. He is winning states with large white populations and few (if any?) states with significant minority populations. I appreciate his role in the primaries of challenging the Democratic establishment and shifting the conversation more to the left, forcing Hillary to identify herself as a progressive, not a moderate. However, while he continues to win states, I think Hillary will eventually be the nominee.

  9. A lot of the states we have seen so far are Southern states that have been for Clinton since her husbands gubernatorial run. But as we head more north and the African American demographic shifts more and more for Bernie I believe he will pick up speed. But is it enough to get over the super delegates. I'm not sure but I don't think so.
