Tonight was rough. We knew the odds and polls were against Bernie. We hoped for another Michigan but we knew Hillary won in 2008 by 17. We knew the closed primary was keeping 3.2 million independents from voting. If the'd been allowed to vote Bernie would have won by at least 15 points. But we knew the independents were out.
The fact is, Hillary could win PA and NJ and she still will not have enough earned delegates to win, starting the convention in Philly. It's going to be an open convention. Anything can happen.
Anything can happen between now and the Philly convention.
It's possible that events and or revelations will unfold which lead to superdelegates changing sides.
Bernie is the absolute best candidate I've seen in my lifetime, with a chance to win. It's worth working hard, donating, doing what we can to get him to the presidency. Politics is ugly, like sausage-making.
It's going to get nastier, guaranteed. Bernie must be tough.
