5. Thirty States left,

California is more liberal, winner take all, over 400 delegates alone. Not much talk about New York, and Sanders is from the Bronx.

Plus he has been winning states 60-40 outside of the deep South.

Folks, Hillary is winning big in States that will not matter in the general election. No matter whether black voters are choosing her there, their votes will be lost in the pool of my liberal vote, in the general election, that 37% that hangs onto voting Democrat, in a sea of red.

Analyze the States outside of the South--look how the farther North you get, the higher Sanders percentage is--in NC last night he got 41%. In Alabama, what, about 17%.

Thirty States left--lots of fight.

The whole point in them reporting the delegate totals with SD's is to weaken your resolve. The media is in it for Hillary, as she is the establishment, corporate, Wall Street, Third Way, (ugh) New Democrat, Triangulating candidate. I reject her.
