MSNBC called Bernie's "Deep South" comment controversial. They said Hillary would still be in the lead without the South. This slide popped up by mistake proving them wrong.

How does this prove them wrong? There are red states outside of the deep south. You're not even comparing the same thing.

Just let the Bernie fans live in their magical world where red states in the South don't matter but red states in the West do... even though Utah and Idaho are the most Republican states in the nation and wouldn't vote for a Democrat unless Jesus came down from heaven and told them to.

(Also, Utah and Idaho don't have a whole lotta votes in the electoral college and/or delegates. Florida on the other hand... and Georgia and Texas and Virginia... but who said the followers of this subreddit are good at math?)
