Krugman's latest column "Democratic Groundhog Day"

"But here’s the thing: a lot of Sanders supporters don’t understand this reality — 29 percent still believe that he’s the likely nominee, and another 11 percent aren’t sure. If news reports say that he “won” tonight, they’ll persist in their illusions — and the narrative that Clinton is somehow stealing the nomination will continue to fester."

Yep. It's always that 30% or so, isn't it? That percentage always pops up with the most strident deniers of reality. Remember W. Bush's approvals? At their lowest, that 30% held on. There's got to be a Ph.D for why it's always 30% or so.
