If African Americans voted in a pattern that mimics the "non-white" category they are placed in in the exit poll - 58% Hillary 34% Bernie

Someone will earn O'Malley's 6% of non-white voters.

Losing by 25 points sounds bad, but the numbers themselves show some solid votes for Sen. Sanders.

Can Sec. Clinton win a nomination with a split African-American vote?
