Hillary Clintons commanding victory in New York on Tuesday put yet another nail in the coffin of Bernie Sanderss candidacy.
As The Upshots Nate Cohn put it:
New York, like every contest at this stage, was a state he needed to win. The result confirms that he is on track to lose the pledged delegate race and therefore the nomination.
At this pace, Clinton will finish this nomination cycle having won more votes, more states and more pledged delegates than Sanders. Furthermore, Clinton has also won six of the nine general election swing states that The New York Times listed in 2012.
And yet Sanders soldiers on, as is his right.
But Tuesday, Sanderss campaign manager, Jeff Weaver, told MSNBC that if Clinton doesnt clinch the nomination by pledged delegates alone, even if she has won the most popular votes, pledged delegates and states, Sanders will still take his fight to the convention. Sanders will absolutely try to turn superdelegates, who overwhelmingly support Clinton, and win the nomination that way.
First, barring something unforeseen and unimaginable, there is no way I can see that this strategy stands a gnats chance in hell of coming to fruition. Its a fairy tale written in pixie dust.

I believe next Tuesday is going to hit him really hard. I don't think that he realizes that, as he starts to sink, he will shed followers.

(118,681 posts)Sanders has to figure out how he lands this doomed plane does he set it down easy so that everyone walks away relatively unscathed, or does he go out in a blaze of glory?
Whatever he chooses to do will say quite a bit about his allegiance to his adopted Democratic Party and about his character. At the end of the day, is his ethos greater than his ego?

The Bros just keep whining about the Clinton Machine and how dastardly and mean they are -- well, if he and they really do look like what they want is to destroy the Party and Hillary, this would be the time ...
