The subject fails WP:GNG, WP:42, WP:DUE and WP:NEO. A term flippantly used mainly by a handful of pundits in reference to the status of Bernie Sanders' ongoing candidacy is not notable enough to rate a standalone article. No objection to a redirect if there exists a plausible target page for the term. Ddcm8991 (talk) 19:41, 13 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: creative, but not an established term (maybe just "not yet") 75.172.181.80 (talk) 08:54, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

btw, the New York Times uses this with a completely different meaning, namely Trump as "damaged but unstoppable" -- further proof that this is not an established term. 75.172.181.80 (talk) 09:22, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
