Its NOT over. The corporate media establishment is not going to give him an inch; these attack dogs are going to push any narrative that will frame Sanders in a bad light. Behind the curtains, the DNC is going to work any trick possible to take national delegates from him and insure that he does not have the majority of them (a total of 1991) and push a brokered convention. If Bernie Sanders is going to win, he needs the largest possible turn out in every State to insure they can't fiddle around with the numbers.

If he manages to win the Democratic nomination, phase two will commence. Like George Magovern, Sanders will be repeatedly red-baited by the corporate media who will go into overdrive to show socialist programs will destroy the economy. The DNC will now drop the unity message and many "insiders" will come out in droves to tie the stock market to the economy, and how a Bernie Sanders presidency will destroy the currently bloated stock market that is currently in life support--courtesy of the FED. Again, he will need the largest possible voter turn out to insure that the GOP's vote suppression tactics (gerrymandering, hack-able voting machines, etc) can not steal it away from him.

I thank you all who are posting Bernie's Progress, but you can't go to sleep after feeling Bernie is winning, this is not like Obama's run (he is not bought and paid for). Bernie isn't just asking for your vote, he needs a political revolution that will help put pressure on congress to address the issues of the majority of Americans. So remember, It will never be over. IT is just beginning.

Sadly, a recession is likely to come before the election, and you know they're going to blame Sanders for it even though it's Trump's fault (well, it was coming anyway, but it'll be deeper and nastier than it had to be with less ability to do anything to fight it thanks to Trump's incompetence and discredited economic policies, and yes, the fed, as led by Trump's appointed chairman). Hopefully the public doesn't buy it, and places the blame where it belongs, but either way, we'll probably be in a recession and know it by the time of the general election.

Per a recent MIT study, it's believed there's a 70% chance of a recession in the next 6 months.

From the study:

This is the only reason why I sometimes want the republicans to win. Trumps policies made a crash inevitable, yet if the democrats win, they will get blamed for it. Just look what they tout about Obama despite the crash he had to clean up coming from Bush.
