David Wasserman notes that Hillary Clinton has a major advantage over Bernie Sanders due to her early dominance of superdelegates.

“He effectively begins the race eight points behind in the delegate count, before any votes are even cast. Unlike on the GOP side, 713 of Democrats’ 4,764 convention delegates (15 percent) are unpledged superdelegates. By the AP’s count last November, Clinton had the support of 359 superdelegates. Since then, according to FiveThirtyEight’s endorsement tracker, Clinton has picked up 21 congressional endorsements, for an estimated total of 380. The most recent count has Sanders at 11.”

“Hillary Clinton has questioned Bernie Sanders’ electability. She’s criticized his plans for health care, foreign policy and Wall Street. And she’s tagged him with flip-flopping on gun control. None of it appears to be sticking, say some Democrats who have raised concerns that a months-long primary campaign could create lasting damage for their party,” the AP reports.

“While most believe Clinton will still capture the nomination, some say she is failing to respond effectively to Sanders, fueling both his primary rise and strengthening the Republican argument against her. Others say she got too late a start going after Sanders and is still not hitting him enough — eroding her lead in states that should be safe.”
