That’s not the only definition of “forecast,” which also has the connotation of “an estimate of future events,” which is certainly what he’s doing.

Precisely. Sanders’ wins in caucus states pitted against his showing in primary-using states demonstrated how he was much more of an only-in-the-party candidate.
The greatest 10 seconds of defense he’ll ever play.
How does one “win” one of these debates? Honestly, what’s the criteria, and who determines it? Isn’t the question of who “wins” the debate not settled until election day?
Upon what basis do you make the claim “Harvard students will support the strikers”?
NPR had such a better take on this yesterday:
