I am very annoyed.

I watch Matthews day after day get red in the face demanding people support Clinton.

Makes me crazy.

I said from the start that if Sanders can turn it around by next Tuesday, then the race continued. It’s a big if, but Sanders took a step in the right direction last night. If he can outperform next week like he did last night, then yes, this thing continues. If he falls further behind in delegates, then the overall dynamics of the race remain unaffected, which really boils down to math.

But I’ve always been open to the possibility, and explicitly gave myself that out.

If he does ban Bernie supporters in the middle of primary season his site is going to lose a whole lot of people and it is unlikely he will ever get them back in the future. It is his choice whether or not he wants to destroy his site, but my guess is that if Bernie outperforms even a little bit (which he probably will) then Kos will step away from the nuclear button.

Everyone talks about Bernie's great win in Michigan, but he actually lost ground yesterday when you look at the raw vote totals and the delegates from Michigan and Mississippi.

Hillary and Bernie basically split the delegates in Michigan because the vote was so close, but he got killed in Mississippi. So a good day for Bernie is actually a losing day.

That's not good at all.

When you look at the math, his prospects are actually quite bleak.

This is about a primary that will cover all 50 states and at the end of it no one is going to be looking at the delegate totals from a single day they will be looking at the overall totals.

The fact is last night gave Bernie a great deal of momentum and there are still a lot of states that have yet to vote. Most of those states are not in the deep south, the deep south is almost done voting while the west coast where Bernie is strong has yet to cast a single ballot. This race is far from over.
