Chris Matthews: Dems lost 49 states with McGovern and it could happen again with Bernie

By next week? Maybe 30 percent if, as expected, Sanders wins Nevada and jumps out to a lead in South Carolina.
 

I don’t think he really believes Bernie might lose 49 states, though. When he says “it could happen again,” he means that Democrats might lose in a landslide like McGovern did in 1972. In our hyperpartisan age, Dems could nominate Trump buddy Rod Blagojevich and still be sure of winning California, New York, New Jersey, Illinois(!), Massachusetts, Vermont, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maryland, Washington, and (probably) Delaware and Oregon. Twelve states at worst, 175 electoral votes in the bag.

 Trump is probably going to handily Win reelection but I wouldn’t count on a 49 state landslide regardless of how bad Bernie is. California is lost. Maybe not permanently but for sure this election cycle
