....as non-entities.

Interestingly, many people say they want their vote to count, yet once the primary closes and the votes are counted, a small fraction of the registered voters actually get out to vote. Even in general elections roughly 50% of the voters actually do so.

Which states do you think Sanders will win, and what will the ultimate outcome be?

Even in softball we have a "mercy rule", a game is called after a certain lead is attained.

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