brendablethyn 536 Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Here’s one reason Bernie Sanders is reluctant to give up the fight: May is shaping up to be a pretty good month for him. On the heels of his Indiana victory Tuesday, Sanders is well-positioned for wins in the upcoming West Virginia and Oregon primaries. That might explain his it’s-just-a-flesh-wound approach to the nearly insurmountable delegate math confronting him, and his dogged insistence that he’s taking his long-shot presidential campaign all the way to the July Democratic convention. “We're going to stay in until the last vote is counted, and that will be in the [June 14] primary in Washington, D.C.," Sanders said in an interview Wednesday with NPR's Steve Inskeep. For Hillary Clinton, the prospect of additional Sanders wins is more headache than threat. But even if there’s little chance the Vermont senator can win the nomination, every victory raises new questions about why Clinton can’t finish him off. http://www.politico.com/story/2016/05/one-reason-bernies-staying-in-oregon-and-west-virginia-222844 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LebaneseDude 6,146 Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Yeah sure he'll win some of the states in May and go like 55% to 45% and Clinton will remain unbothered in the lead in terms of delegates. He'll still not overtake her. It's why she's given up on advertisement spending. Better save it for Flipflop now-SuperPAC-lover Trump. Happy that you are finding validation in his small victory though. Perhaps the DNC will give out participation awards after the final primary. Edited just now by LebaneseDude.

Voltaire 4,531 Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 The wins will not be irrelevant. One outcome of gaining delegates and wins is the voting process that occurs at the convention on what the Democratic party will adopt as its official platforms. The issues themselves remain critical and has long lasting impact and implication. Furthermore, for a lot of people-- its their last chance to vote for someone they actually want, as opposed to voting against someone they want the least in November.
