Bernie Sanders is looking forward to sweeping Kentucky and OR next week as part of his predicted “May winning streak”.

However, two local Sanders supporters said they will not support Clinton if she is the Democratic presidential nominee and that they’ll write in Sanders’ name if it comes to that.
Webb said a take-away from Tuesday’s West Virginia primary, where Sanders defeated Clinton (the same state where Clinton defeated candidate Barack Obama in 2008), is that Sanders “is the voice of the people, someone not indoctrinated to business as usual”.
“Let me be as clear as I can be, we are in the campaign to win the Democratic nomination”, Sanders said at a campaign event in Salem, Oregon.
In a column entitled, “How Hillary Clinton could blow it”, Michael Brendan Dougherty outlines a number of faults that cold cause the former secretary of state to lose what now appears to be a lead over the GOP candidate.
Weaver said the Democratic Party – and its superdelegates who are free to support either candidate – must reject Clinton and embrace Sanders, or face a crushing defeat in November. That sets the stage for the California primary on June 7.
It will be very curious to see if Bernie Sanders will manage to score another victory and make Hillary Clinton “shake” a bit. And almost as many say she is not. Clinton’s voters are more positive about the Vermont Senator: 58% of them have a favorable view of Sanders, and just 39% are unfavorable. “She never had crowds like Sanders has”. “We’ve been talking about Trump [but] what Bernie’s done in the Democratic Party is nothing short of astounding”, Scarborough added.
Sanders conceded he was far behind Clinton in the overall race, but he highlighted a poll of his own during his speech Tuesday: An NBC News poll showed Sanders beating presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump by a wider margin than Clinton.
While Democrats also voted in a presidential “beauty contest” in Nebraska, delegates had previously been assigned during a March 5 caucus. The “strongly unfavorable” rating for Trump nationwide surpasses 50%, whereas Clinton’s is hovering just below 40%.
Mr Sanders’ strategy is to win a majority of pledged delegates in a bid to sway super delegates over to his camp. Sanders won 15 pledged delegates, Clinton carried 10. Clinton’s lead should hold out to the end. But at the moment, hers is not a campaign that oozes momentum.

“I think that in those states where we have won landslide victories, those delegates should reflect the wishes of the people of their state and give us their votes”.
