What does the following sentence mean?Thanks!
Ms. Sanders said. “Even if he had a string of wins, like eight in a row or he’s won states by landslide victories, nobody in the media and certainly not The New York Times has ever said he has a chance to win.”

Does it mean The New York Times has or has never said Sanders has a chance to win?

Answer

Hey Peter,
It means that neither the media nor the New York Times has said that Bernie Sanders could win the election.

I hope this helps,

Answer

What he really wants to say is that the media is biased:

"Regardless of how many states I win the media will always 'pretend' that I have no chance of winning whatsoever."

He implies that the media is helping Ms. Clinton by pretending that it's obvious that she's going to win, and therefore supporting Mr. Sanders would be a waste of your vote, energy and maybe even money.
