MSNBC: Sanders Braces For A Tough Night
 
PHILADELPHIA — Things will get worse for Bernie Sanders before they get better — if they ever do.

Bruised and battered but soldiering on after last week’s rout in New York, Sanders is bracing for another rough night Tuesday, when Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton is favored to win most or all of the five states that hold Democratic primaries in the Northeast.

At stake are 384 pledged delegates, nearly twice as many as the 247 in New York during the last primary race. Ahead of a relatively quiet May, Tuesday will be last major allocation of delegates until June 7, when California and six other states hold contests on what is nearly the last day of campaigning in the Democratic primary.

1. Don't report, MSNBC. Create.

2. Excerpt from article.
 
Of course, polls also showed Clinton 20 percentage points ahead in Michigan, even though she ended up losing in a major upset last month. Sanders is hoping for a repeat, though polls have been right more often than they’ve been wrong this year.

3. Of course, since FB groups of Bernie supporters were shut down by Clinton supporters
 
It is a shame that anyone would resort to such dirty tricks. The polls are on Tuesday and the Facebook groups were shut down on Monday to prevent important strategizing and cutting off members from each other.

6. God,this is delusional. How long were these very essential
 
Facebook groups shut down? Does the whole Sanders campaign rely on Facebook groups?

9. How we strategize is our business
 
We do not owe you an explanation and it is shocking you would justify the shutting down of the FB groups.

I dunno.  Maybe it's something Messalina Agrippina learned from watching the Bernie bullies shut down her supporters.

12. Nevertheless, the Clinton camp obviously found them "essential" enough to attack.

Paranoid much?

8. I'm a Sanders voter, and that claim was fully debunked, why further it?
 
Are you trying to make Sanders voters sound like they are embracing every conspiracy theory being tossed around?

15. We see the conspiracy posts every day by
 
Sanders supporters....I could post dozen of links if you want me to...

20. Not by most of us - and the worst actors posting here are likely GOP operatives
 
posing as Sanders supporters and roping in some of the newly engaged voters with no experience at spotting GOP trolls who have engaged in this tactic against Dem party since DU's first primary battles in 2003-2004.

And there are some GOP operatives posing as HRC supporters, too, to increase the shit-stirring that goes on here daily.

21. What possible strategy could a couple of FB groups come up with
 
within 24 hours of today's primaries that would erase Sanders' double-digit deficits in the polls? We're not even talking about the Sanders campaign coming up wih a strategy!

Seriously, some people over estimate their importance and impact in these primaries.

Yeah, they do.

4. I think he will again surprise corpmedia and do far better than they have been predicting.
 
Again.

5. 384 is nearly twice as many as 247? WTF?

7. It's Math!

11. That was the first thing that jumped out at me too!
 
Must be that "New math" lol!

13. Ya. I have an issue with that nearly twice comment, too.

10. No surprise there ...
 
The Vermont senator enjoys his best prospects in Rhode Island, thanks to its open primary and 85 percent white electorate, a demographic that generally plays well for Sanders.

... it follows a well-established pattern.

17. How is 384 nearly the double of 247?
 
Idiot.

Still, Hillary is likely in for a good day.

Whether The Bern has a political future rests pretty much in the hands of BHO's InJustice Department and BHO's fragile narcissistic ego. Plus or minus a revolt at the FBI.

That may be why the Alter Kakker is hanging on, hoping for the FBI Caucus.

20. Not by most of us - and the worst actors posting here are likely GOP operatives...

Why does just about everything in DUmmieLand ultimately have to have evil "GOP operatives"? It seems like we could address a large portion of the unemployment problem if we could just pay said operatives...
