-Florida was a total embarrassment, i admit, but it was expected.
-Bernie actually did better in NC than expected. He got 41% and held Hillary to 55%, while the polls showed Hillary up like 65-30.
-Illionis was a disappointment, but only one poll showed Bernie up by 2 points. All the others had Bernie down by 5-7 pts. It was within 2 pts and Hillary only got 1 more delegate.
-Missouri was a virtual tie, and a poll showed Hillary up by 7.
-Still a majority of the polls showed Hillary up by 15-20 in Ohio, only a few polls showed it in single digits. Hillary won by 13 pts, and I think some Bernie supporters voted for Kasich over Bernie in Ohio.
-Bernie is going to try and get super delegates to support him.
-Bernie is favored in most of the remaining states.
Considering only the polls conducted after Michigan primary, Hillary actually did better in Florida and Ohio than the polls. Sanders did better with tighter margins in North Carolina than polls suggest.
Illinois and Missouri polls were in line showing deadheat.
He was 30 points behind in IL, Hillary's home state, a week before the primary and almost tied her (and won among people 45 year and younger 70-29). I mean if Sanders wins by 40 points among people under 45 years in her home state, he must be doing something right...
The Bern didn't do as well yesterday with white working class voters. The vile mobs in Chicago and St. Louie hurt him. Playing into the BLM wing-nuts and identity politics is finally catching up with him.
And dropping even further back in the delegate race.
And now having five fewer states in which to make up his increasing deficit.
But other than that he really kicked ass!
I like Sanders. A lot. He's not my candidate, but I'm glad he's in the race and I think it's been a better campaign for his presence. But as with all candidates, some of his supporters are completely delusional.

It gets him the same number of delegates as her in a very big state. He was 30 points behind in her home state a week earlier. Perspective. Give credit where credit is due. He is the only candidate funded by the grassroots and is holding his own against overwhelming odds, media attacks and all the most powerful special interests against him.
