Bill had a higher approval rating in his final year than Reagan did. Almost 10 points ahead of where Obama is now as well.
In the 60s..... How in the world did George Bush become president? Were the Democrats simply not as engaged and thought they had it in the bag? And how come we are creating this narrative about him like they weren't loving his policies and administration? Our memories are very strange in this country.
Bernie needs 67.5% of the remaining delegates to get ahead in the pledged count.
Polling averages right now indicate a likely 8+ point win for Hillary in California and an 18-point win in New Jersey. If she got those it would be over no matter the results in the rest of the states, even if he shuts her out in all of them.
Actually, a 54-46 win for her in Cali would be insurmountable if he got 100% in all the other states.

But if he wins 85-15 in CA then he becomes the nominee. Wyd!
I will literally break my TV when she reaches 2,383 and Bernie still says it's not over until the convention.
I pray that does not come out of his mouth. Then again, I can see a lot of people finally seeing how desperate he is after that.
Hillary is 74 delegates away and Bernie is 844 delegates away. We're practically at that point. Bernie WILL say that it's not over until the convention. Better stay away from your TV.
Won't she only reach the number with super's added though?
I don't see why Bernie would accept that, you know he's going to say it's not over and keep going because super's don't count!
Because in theory, Bernie's about superdelegates either backing "the will of the people" or their individual state (he's not clear on which). Doing simple analysis and making that true shows she'd still be winning, potentially by more. So the only thing that makes sense after DC would be to concede; if he doesn't at least concede the nomination now that he's got the ability to influence the platform, then it would show him as not actually being about the democratic concept of supers backing the popular candidate. He would be going against his own core stance.

Link me to the Cali receipts please I'm counteracting someone's 538 poll that shows Bernie and Hillary at 44-46 in favor of Hillary
Ya I'm so confused I know the Super delegates don't vote until convention but are they allowed to tell Bernie they aren't switching so that he drops out or are they not allowed to do that

Yes. There's nothing stopping them from doing it. Besides, super delegates never go against pledged delegates.
If y'all seen House of Cards conventions are "anything goes".
I kinda wanted to see a GOP one
I really wanted to... It was looking like it was going to be some prime time television, but that's not going to happen. I guess the big political event of the primary season will be the Trump-Sanders debate.

I thought Trump said he was only kidding about that?
