Guess its their first loss since 1975. There is ZERO chance Bernie wins anything. If he does, I'll eat vegan for a year.

Oklahoma voting blue

Seems odd
Some of the states are probably wrong, but still.

So how mad are you going to be when the Democrats inevitably hold on to the White House for another 8 years?

Neither of their candidates will be able to beat Rubio.

Biden would have won. He was the Dems only hope.

Fine, let's begin with the most visible problem - the decision of state decisions (Maryland and Illinois going Republican, while Louisiana and Mississippi going Democrat) shows a clear failure to understand political trends and voting demographics in these states.

Let's go back seven years to the 2008 election between McCain and Obama and focus on the two southern states, Louisiana and Mississippi, shall we?



Notice the South - it's a red blockade. Now, forward 4 years to 2012:



Even more red, with North Carolina flipping. Both states also have an extremely strong minority presence (See below) and large wealth disparity conditions, with some of the highest cases of extreme poverty. These groups tend to overwhelmingly vote Democratic, but even Obama, who had large majority of support from said groups, could not flip a dominating, Souther Republican force.

Even if Sanders were to overcome his issues with the black voter base, he wouldn't nearly gain the amount of support that Obama had in the 2008 General (Hope! Change!), and therefore would fail to flip the state. The fact that they think Sanders could cut into the Southern GOP blockade in two of the most Republican states (And not even carry North Carolina, a battleground state and more Democratic) starts to shed doubt on their verdict in the other states.

I'm also curious as to how they got a Sanders/Bush General, and how the information was collected. Septy, if you could link me?
