No Real Path for Sanders Anymore

March 2, 2016 · 8:10 am ET · 242 Comments

“Bernie Sanders has vowed to fight for the presidential nomination until the Democratic convention, but the results this evening suggest that he is not anywhere close to being on track to amass a majority of pledged delegates,” the New York Times reports.

“The results tonight show that outcome is highly unlikely. There is no progressive majority for a ‘political revolution’ in the Democratic Party without the support of black voters.”

First Read: “One of the reasons why Clinton is in such of a commanding position: Any Democratic presidential candidate who struggles with African-American and Latino voters as much as Sanders did last night isn’t going to have much of a chance to win the party’s nomination.”
