He never had much momentum outside of young/middle aged whites.
He would have done much better as a Republican with those demographics locked down, ironically enough.

The south as a region != The Confederacy.

Hillary speech.
I do think her focusing on positive things is good.
Congratulating Sanders is good.
Sanders is the one that has to attack.

That's how Hillary got in trouble in 08, Obama crushed in south, even though Hillary was winning states, she couldn't overcome the delegate math

Is that an attempt to be reductionist? Is that how you away from the issue?
He ran into states that he had no chance of winning.
He never lost any momentum. The Clinton brand has been a staple of American politics for decades, and is just too strong at this point.
Too late. After tonight states favor Rubio over Trump. Cruz is done he relied on the southern strategy too much.

Trump crushing Rubio makes me happy.
He ain't fucking winning here.
Nice! I had no idea Bill was in town. When I was a kid, he came and spoke Portuguese to the crowd. He was so over.

Is Bernie holding a rally?
That's one of the many reasons I love my country. No matter the political affiliation, you can ALWAYS get a USA chant going and it is fucking awesome.

NOVA skews the whole state.
It's 1) Below the Mason-Dixon line and 2) was the Capitol of the Confederacy

Yep. Delegates are what counts but people get so fixated on wins - especially in close states that are proportional for whatever reason. Margins matter, Bernie would still be in this even if he was losing if he could have kept the margins in the south close.
If she's the Nom, Trump wins...regardless
Media Narrative isn't feet in polling booths.
The states before this clued us in. His message is good, but it's just not materializing voters in the numbers needed for the Revolution.
Iowa and NH are two of the three whitest states on the Dem Calendar (third is Vermont.)
Once he got out of mono-white world, he went off the rails because he wasn't actually altering his core message to address the concerns of the minority voters who make up a huge chunk of the Dem electorate.

She looked so damn proud of that tea party zing lolol
AKA states where the white population isn't 90%. Bernie just has failed to get minority voters interested.

He never really had momentum. He needed to win Iowa and he didn't.
His momentum got him to making it close in some places but not over the top.
He neglected to understand that any Democratic-led revolution should probably include one of its most important voting bases: black folk.

I think it will remain close unless the county Boston is in sways to one person. So far 0% reported I see.

This is a misread of what will happen in November. What this really means is if Clinton is the nom the dens will be competitive in certain local elections that will not be competitive with sanders at the top of the ticket. Sanders is winning a few northern states that will go democrat regardless, it is the down ticket elections in otherwise red states that are important for the party long term not necessarily winning the state outright in the electoral college.
Gotta make it nice and short so the American voting public can understand and digest!

Hillary really is a pretty robotic speaker. Very jarring after 8 years of 'Bams.
Edit: And "love and kindness" is a pretty treacly message. Perhaps I'm having trouble disentangling it from Cory Booker's reading of the execrable poetry of Maya Angelou at a previous Clinton rally.

I'm not thrilled about Hill, but not much of a choice between her and Trump.
Almost stealing talking points in their entirety.

Based on her speech right now, Bernie has really pushed her campaign messaging to the left. It will be interesting to see how the campaign changes from tonight. If she gained in young voters.
