This is a great article from Business Insider UK, including perfect responses to the usual lame but-but-but arguments put forth by the Sanders folks. Enjoy!


Hillary has the Democratic primary in the bag

Technically, the Democratic presidential contest is not yet over.

But let's be real. It's over. Hillary Clinton will be the Democratic nominee for president.

It's not just that Bernie Sanders lost delegate-rich New York by a wide margin Tuesday night. It's that the margins by which he'd need to win in the remaining contests to overtake Clinton are implausible.

Currently, Clinton has 55 percent of the pledged delegates and almost 2.7 million more votes than Sanders.

That might not sound like a huge lead, but almost two-thirds of the pledged delegates have already been awarded. So, as Nate Cohn of The New York Times notes, Sanders would need to win the remaining contests by an average of 18 points to overtake Clinton in pledged delegates. So far, he's only managed that big a margin in two primary states: New Hampshire and Vermont, his home state.
