After Super Tuesday, sanders lead will be tough to overcome.

Came in second in delegates in the Iowa caucus. Eked out a bare 1.3-point lead in his small near-home state of New Hampshire. And did well in Nevada, but in a caucus that had only 100,000 voters. That number shocked me: a turnout of about 5% from an entire state of 1.9 million eligible voters, even with the new early voting. That’s the size of fewer than 2 of the wards out of the 50 in my city (my ward has 68,000 people).

Why isn’t anyone talking about how puny this win is? Instead, we’re getting victory laps. Maybe this gives him the mo. But there’s also an expression: pride cometh before the fall.

2. So it isn't as overwhelming a lead as some would like. Three of Sanders' strongholds...

...(caucuses and open primaries) are behind us.

I believe there are only two more caucuses remaining, the rest primaries, and the majority of those primaries are closed to only Democrats.

I can’t imagine either party will allow them to continue. I know it’s a state issue but Iowa made it a mess.

Acting like he can only win 3 states or caucuses is dishonest.
