36. There are 1714 delegates unallocated as of now. Should Sanders get half of them....

....that would leave him more than 200 short of the 1991. On the other hand, Biden now has 1203 delegates, he would only need 788 of those 1714 (46%) to reach 1991.

This is even with the 160 delegates already won by the five candidates who have dropped out and also the 10 delegates that Buttigieg is forecast to win in his home state of Indiana.

There is simply "no route to the nomination" for Sanders.

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

Bernie would need to win them by 60% to get enuf delegates. Funtatlaguy Mar 2020 #14

He's got to win every state by close to 60%. Even if he wins by 55%-45% he'll lose... George II Mar 2020 #22

If he wins by 50% he doesn't win, but he doesn't lose either Polybius Mar 2020 #33

Yeah, but coming up 200 will give him a ton of power Polybius Mar 2020 #38

Nope. showblue22 Mar 2020 #39

Just wishful thinking. For one thing, he will NOT get 50% of the remaining delegates.... George II Mar 2020 #40

Good ad. Would have preferred it without the background music. n/t thesquanderer Mar 2020 #11

Yes. Music was a bit much. Midnight Writer Mar 2020 #16
