Super Tuesday: 5 Reasons to Cheer for Bernie Sanders’ Supporters

If you see mainstream media outlets, you will be very discouraged if you are a Bernie supporter, as they have already written his electoral obituary. But once we carefully analyze Super Tuesday results, we see a completely different picture. In the final results tally, Secretary Clinton won 7 states although Massachusetts is a tiny victory as number of delegates will be divided almost equally among the two candidates. Senator Sanders won 4 states – Colorado, Oklahoma, Minnesota and Vermont which is better than a wipe out. Following are the reasons why his supporters should be encouraged by Super Tuesday results and prepare for a longer fight: Bernie won Blue and Swing states while Hillary won Southern States: Secretary Clinton racked up three major Southern states – Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia which is part of a Republican base whereas Sanders won swing states like Colorado. Minnesota victory is a huge surprise as he was behind in the poll numbers. Bernie has got the cash: Senator Sanders has raised huge sums of money in the last one month, according to an estimate it’s over 40 million dollars, which buys him attack ads and time to stay on the race. Bernie is favored over Hillary in upcoming primary states: The next six states are Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, Florida where he stands a good chance of winning as African-American vote bank is not so big. Bernie is getting into the campaign groove: Bernie Sanders is now taking his gloves off and calling the bluff of Hillary Clinton on issues of foreign policy (Iraq War), giant speaking fees for speeches given to big banks and her connections with private prison industry. Bernie is ahead of Hillary in one-to-one fights against Republicans: According to recent polls, Bernie has fast caught up with the lead of Hillary Clinton and is even ahead of her. He is the most electable Democratic candidate against Donald Trump and Ted Cruz, unlike Hillary Clinton who is likely to lose to them in a general election.
