She just stole one election from him.
He can't. Her supporters Kant...
Every Democrat/liberal/progressive I know personally is supporting Bernie, except for one, and she's leaning his way. This is the year for someone like him to win, if ever there was one. Young people are crazy about Bernie.

What's the famous quote, "How did he win...?"
The young, by themselves, cannot win an election.

"Online bettors continue to treat Hillary Clinton as the overwhelming favorite to win the presidency; she's at 56 percent to Donald Trump's 16 percent as of late December, according to Predict*It. At a time when 51 percent of college students favor speech codes (according to an October Yale poll) and when noted law professors such as Eric Posner are writing columns with headlines like "ISIS Gives Us No Choice but to Consider Limits on Speech," it's worth examining how someone with Clinton's long and worrying track record might impact the legal and cultural climate for American free expression if elected to run the executive branch of the United States government."

My son just asked me what I think Bernie's chances are. I told him I think they are better than 50/50 of becoming president if he can get past Hillary, but that will be tough to do since she is being backed by the Democratic establishment, including super delegates, big money contributors, super PACs, etc. It's going to get interesting if he can deal her a major ass kicking in New Hampshire, however.

Iowa and New Hampshire are nothing, especially with proportionate delegates.
Right now she has several thousand super delegates and 7 Iowa delegates and he has 6.
He'd have to tub-thump her all the way to Super Tuesday to stand a chance and Iowa was not a tub-thumping...

I think New Hampshire could prove important. Hillary won there in 2008. If she loses there badly this time around, I think that could wound her significantly and hurt her going forward. Perception is important.
I don't think the average voter is going to react well if Hillary wins the nomination just because of her super delegates.

No one cares.
Especially the Democrats.
We've known for four years now that she was next.
She will be next. It is about time American had a female President. Another token.

No one cared when they handed the nomination to Obama...
Bernie's supporters today are different than Hillary's supporters were in 2008. These young people now are fired up for Bernie. Somewhat like young people were fired up for Obama in 2008.

Mea culpa
But at the same time, you prove my point. The "machine" is all in for Hillary...
You are right, hundreds are not thousands, but they did throw the nomination to Obama.

Again, the "Utes" may be fired up, but of, in in, of themselves, they cannot win an election until Hillary's natural constituency (the Vietnam protestors) dies off.

She had 385 delegates now, including the superdelegates and what she's picked up in Iowa.
If she had several thousand super delegates, she'd have the nomination plus already.
The issue with the young and Bernie is the same that it was with Obama. They take any position that is taken as some some of guaranty it will happen if that person is elected. And Hillary knows too much about what can be delivered to make the wild promises that Obama made then and Bernie is making now. The young voters just have no concept of reality.
