4. Sanders only has a 5 percentage point win to show for his $1.8+ million ad buy in IN.

May 2016

Sanders poured money into a state Hillary didn't spend a penny on ads in, and he wins by just 5 points with an overwhelmingly white electorate open primary tailor-made for him.

Even after Sanders nets +5 delegates vs. Hillary tonight, in order to go into the convention with more pledged delegates (ignoring that Clinton will already have more total delegates to lock the nomination on the first ballot), Sanders would need to win the following contests by the margins indicated:

Guam: Sanders +43
West Virginia: Sanders +52
Kentucky: Sanders +35
Oregon: Sanders +57
Virgin Islands: Sanders +43
Puerto Rico: Sanders +17
California: Sanders +31
Montana: Sanders +62
New Jersey: Sanders +13
New Mexico: Sanders +18
South Dakota: Sanders +40
North Dakota: Sanders +67
District of Columbia: Tie

Sanders' IN win still puts him further behind pace than he was yesterday.
