Bernie Sanders- Does He Have A Chance?

[seitan_forker]

Thoroughly exciting result, though the "superdelegates" are what will doom him. What a ridiculous system. Politicians from a given state who have publicly supported a candidate automatically count as delegates, so while the people were 50/50, Hillary ended up with 30 delegates to Bernie's 21. That's a trend which is going to continue as Hillary has received 201 endorsements to Bernie's 2 according to this endorsement tracker: http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/201 ... t-primary/

I was really hoping he would win, so this kind of berns... ;D

Hahaha, seriously though, he only 'lost' by .4%. That's not exactly a win for Hillary.
She was supposed to be invincible, and he was supposed to be a fringe candidate with no shot, and they just tied. He's also almost certainly going to win in NH.
I still think we're in good shape.

I've never heard of super-delegates. That sounds ridiculous.

Hopefully, if nothing else, this election has gotten more true liberals and independents into caucusing, which is where most of the real election happens.

What if Ted Cruz wins?

[Jebus]

So how does this work? Is it a winner takes it all scenario where Hillary and Ted takes all the points or is it a percentage system where Ted got the most points, Don second and Marco third?

What if Ted Cruz wins?

While I don't speak for all independents (Libertarians ) , If it came down to Cruz vs. Anybody in the World, Anybody would have to eat a puppy alive while stabbing an orphan with a knife made from mutilated kitten whiskers before I even gave a thought to Cruz. And still, probably gonna join the "eat puppies while killing orphans" demographic. Less tragic.

Hillary 29*, Bernie 21 *(due to superdelegates)

Cruz 8, Trump 7, Rubio 7

Iowa chose Mike Huckabee in '08 and Santorum in '12, so I'm not sure what Cruz is so excited about.

How exactly will Bernie enforce these policies?

[EquALLity]

^'Enforce'?

You mean implement?
The same way Hillary would, by negotiating.
He would just start with actual progressive positions, and then negotiate a compromise. Hillary would start at a compromise and negotiate even further.

Also, he would use executive orders.

"Implement" is just a euphemism.

Anyway, how would these negotiations go down? And with who?
