After15 March Primaries, total delegate count excluding
superdelegates stands at Hillary Clinton 1,094 vs. Bernie Sanders 774. The race is not over yet. Rather it is
just the beginning of a new phase where the race is now rolling into more
Bernie friendly states. For Bernie
supporters, it is not the time to give up, but to stand with him more strongly.
There are lot of propaganda that the race is over. It is not
over yet. There are more states remaining with lot more delegates. Clinton has
only got 50% of the delegates required. California, New York, and Pennsylvania
are Bernie Friendly states with more than 1,000 delegates. It would not be hard for Mr. Sanders to beat Mrs. Clinton by 58-to-42 percent margin of victory — in six of the eight contests over the next month. He is a strong favorite in the caucuses in Idaho, Alaska, Hawaii, Washington and Wyoming and in Utah primary. A focus on higher
turnout and right strategies will surely accelerate Sanders’ path to
nomination.

What is positive about 15 March for Sanders is that the race
was too much competitive beyond the expectation of ‘pro-Hillary pundits’ and
Hillary Camp. Bernie fans can expect tougher fight in the coming primaries.
Sanders has faced mountain-some odds and obstacles from the
very beginning of his campaign. Current setback does not mean a loss. Rest of
the primaries are still waiting. This is not the time to give up but to be with
him even more strongly.
Why You Shouldn't Give Up On Bernie Sanders
“The truth is not always pleasant. It’s not always what we
want to hear”, Sanders told a crowd of 7,000 people Tuesday at the Phoenix
Convention Center.
"Phoenix, are you ready for a political
revolution? Are you tired of a handful of billionaires running our
economy?" he asked. "Well, if you are, you’ve come to the right
place!"
"Next week, Arizona has a very important
election," Sanders said. "We will win if the voter turnout is high.
Let's make it high!"
It matters a lot to continue supporting Bernie Sanders all
the way through all 50 states. Bernie Sanders groove is empowering progressives
in the democratic circles. Gainesville, Florida already felt the rhythm. Lauren Poe, a progressive Democrat, got elected there recently as Mayor. The same
wave gave the city another progressive Adrian Hayes-Santos as the city
commissioner.
