Sanders simply won't come clean with his supporters.

He would have to win tonight by a huge margin even to begin to make a dent in Hillary's lead. That just isn't going to happen. If his supporters just want to keep throwing good money after bad, that's their choice.

If we use the 538 targets as guidelines, Hillary's target is 39/83 and Bernie's is 44/83. If the race stays close, or even if Bernie ekes out a win, he will likely not meet his 538 TGs and will fall even farther behind in delegate totals.

He is literally making a political fool of himself, IMO. He also is burning up goodwill as rapidly as he is burning cash. But that's his right.
