I mean it strains credulity for Bernie to insist he has a path to victory with numbers like that among black voters.
I mean 92-6?! That was the margin Obama beat John McCain by in 2008.
Meanwhile Bernie isn't running away with white voters tonight either. He won Vermont hugely of course. He did talk Oklahoma by about 12 points. But she continues to lead in Massachusetts with a 4 point lead and over 64 percent of the vote in.
It would be nice symbollically to win this as it is a neighboring state and also very liberal. Bernie does lead in the Minnesota and Colorado caucuses though it's still early.
UPDATE: Mass has been called for Hillary.
Bernie boasted eariler that he will get 'hundreds of delegates tonight.'

Sure but HRC will get hundreds more. Right now she leads by 190 delegates gained tonight.

P.S. John Lewis:
“So many black women saying over and over again this is her time,” said famed civil rights leader and Georgia Democratic Rep. John Lewis to MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow on Tuesday night. “They believe her and trust her to stand up and fight for them and fight for their children.”

I have spoken to a number of such black women on Twitter. One friend in particular, Mary, actually was for her in 2008 and thought it was even her chance then.
As a half black half white male, I did too. But this time is proving to be hers.
P.S.S. Hillary also did very well with Latino voters tonight in Texas.
