Bernie Thinks You Can Lose the Black Vote by 90 Points and Win the Nomination

That is basically his theory of the race. That white states will neutralize his huge losses with black voters.

I don't think that's mathematically possible. And to tell the truth, even if it were, that'd still be kind of wrong.

But as Yglesias notes:

"I just do not see enough white Democrats in CA, NY, FL, IL, OH, NJ for Sanders to be the nominee."

It was also a blow for Bernie to fail to win Massachusetts, a liberal state next door to Vermont and NH.

"Losing Massachusetts sort of deadly for Sanders given demographic headwinds in the biggest states."

Last night was the night Hillary wanted. She was supposed to win the 6 Southern states but the margins were shocking. Her closest contest was Virginia which she won by 'only 29 points.' The RCP average had shown her leading by 22.

She won Alabama by a shocking almost 60 point margin.

And she also won the white vote in the majority of states.

"So far @HillaryClinton has won whites in IA, SC, GA, AL, ARK, TN, TX, VA; @SenSanders in NH, NV (by 2), MASS (by 1), OK, VT"

Bernie for now will insist he's going to June. But the numbers tell a different story. She beat him by 170 delegates last night.

This is a deficit he won't be able to come back from. Then there are the super delegates.

As a Yahoo News piece argues, Hillary is again inevitable.

The betting odds now have her at just under 96 percent to win.
