- Hey, buddy.
- Hey.
- You having trouble with your homework?
- Yeah, god, I'm usually
pretty good at math.
This just doesn't make any sense to me.
- Okay.
Let me see if I can help ya out.
What are you working on?
- Bernie math.
Here's the problem I'm struggling with.
Hillary Clinton currently has
1,930 delegates, all right?
Bernie Sanders currently
has 1,189 delegates.
Explain how Bernie Sanders is actually
winning like the internet says he is.
- Well, did you remember
that he's winning,
but the lamestream media
isn't reporting it?
- No, no, I don't see that at all.
He has fewer delegates.
- Okay well, let's take
a look at your math
and see where you went wrong.
- Okay.
Yeah, I just compared the two numbers
and saw which one was bigger.
- Yeah, see, you skipped
a bunch of steps here.
First, you have to subtract
the superdelegates.
- Wait, no, wait, why did you do that?
- Now bear with me.
Then you add 10 momentum points for
every state he won in a row.
Multiply that by how much birds like him.
Now, you do have to subtract a point
for every media outlet
that is blacking him out!
But even after you do that,
you can see he's winning in a landslide.
- No, it feels like you're just
jumping through a bunch of hoops
to mask a hard mathematical
truth that you don't like.
- Could it be that you're a
fucking Hillary supporter,
who thinks she's entitled to presidency?
- No, I'm not saying anything
about the candidates themselves,
I'm saying if you look at the numbers,
Hillary Clinton's
delegate count is bigger.
(deeply sighing)
- Okay, let's look at it like this.
- Okay.
- So, California has 475 delegates, right?
- Okay, yeah, I'm following you.
- Okay.
Everyone I know personally
is voting for Bernie Sanders.
Therefore, we can assume that
all 475 delegates in
California are gonna go to him.
And there you go.
- There I go what?
No, even if he wins all
475 of those delegates,
he's still losing.
- You're making the same mistake.
You're not subtracting the superdelegates.
- Yeah, so can you explain
why you do that again?
- I don't like them.
- Okay.
- They're not democratic.
- Okay, oh.
No, I think I get this, okay.
So that means we also
don't count caucus results,
because those aren't very democratic,
when you think about it.
- Oh no, no, no, we love caucuses.
If anything, caucuses count double.
- Now I'm confused again.
- It sounds to me like you think
it's impossible for him to win
and you're a neoliberal shill.
- I'm not saying anything
about him as a candidate.
I'm just saying he's not currently winning
and it's really weird that you
have a completely different narrative.
- I think you aren't factoring in
how much I want him to win.
If you do that
and you remember that
Obama came from behind,
then you can see that actually,
all those superdelegates move to Bernie.
- Why does that do anything,
because you said we aren't supposed
to count the superdelegates.
- Oh yeah, no.
You count superdelegates
if they're for Bernie.
- This doesn't make any sense.
- I gotta say I'm surprised.
I didn't realize you
hate Bernie this much.
- I don't hate Bernie!
Look, I'm just saying if
you look at the numbers
and if they don't change,
I feel like you're setting yourself
up for a huge disappointment.
- I'll bet you $10,000 Bernie wins.
- You don't have that kind of money.
- Oh, first you assume I
have all the money I want.
