Sanders flies home to Vermont

87. That's because the Rethugs have been holding back most of their attack dogs,

hoping desperately that they would be facing him in the General.

Do you know what percent of Democratic voters in the South -- the South that Bernie dismissed as not progressive enough -- are African American? In Mississippi it's 71%. But it's not just Southern state black people who support Hillary. In New York three times as many black people voted for Hillary as Bernie.

So what propelled her win in the South is the same thing that will propel her in the General -- her strong support among minority voters. This was first evidenced in the South, but has been repeated in every primary since then. Bernie hasn't carried African American voters in a single state -- not even Vermont.

President Obama beat Romney even though Romney carried both white men and white women. It was minority voters who ensured Obama's election, and they're going to do the same thing for Hillary. (Though she will probably carry white women, too; she has been so far.)
