Math and Map [View all]

Math determines what percentage of the remaining delegates one has to get to win.

Map determines where those delegates will come from in the remaining states on the map.

This time around, BOTH math and map are severely unfavorable to Bernie.

Math calculates that Bernie has to win 57% of the remaining delegates while Biden only needs 50%. With every Biden win, Bernie's number goes up and Biden's goes down.

Map shows that all of the remaining states are the ones Hillary won the last time. Not a single one of them is favorable to Bernie. Polls show that Biden is leading in every remaining state by between 12 and 40 points.

Bernie contunuing is an exercise in futility and will cause further division and a bigger heartbreak for his supporters. It will be like death with a thousand cuts.

Bernie needs to drop out - there is absolutely no hope for him.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
