2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumMy guess is Hillary will win both Oregon and Kentucky
And not just because they're closed primaries, but because I think people are sick of the primaries and.because at this point, the sense of inevitability is baked into voters psyches.
And if he does lose them, I think Bernie should bow out before California.

(2,348 posts)Say that Portland and the suburbs, which are Bernie's best areas, have the 4th and 5th lowest turnout in the state. That's according the Benchmark.
Not good news for Bernie.

(19,877 posts)The media narrative that Hillary has this wrapped up already. Which helps Bernie.

(2,760 posts)Regardless of who wins, it's probably going to be <5 delegates either way. Bernie is already highly unlikely to win the primary, tonight's result won't make it very much more unlikely.
Because we have proportional delegate allocation, it's hard to have a dramatically race-alerting result. Even when you win a big state by a healthy margin the losing side can say "well, we got a good chunk of delegates."

(42,862 posts)A double-inverse-reverse-inside-out psych game to raise our expectations for Hillary and to make a possible win for Bernie even more DEMORALIZING for us so that we just give up.

Bernie should not bow out until there is a credible resolution to it. Not dumping it in the lap of the Obama justice department where it will just sit and fester and become fodder for Trump during the general election campaign. If its still an issue (along with other allied matters like the pay to play Clinton foundation) after the convention, the Democrats may as well pack it in as far as the presidency is concerned.
