No wonder the Hillary camp is so frantic.
Sanders has apparently had enough and has decided to state the unvarnished truth: Hillary Clinton is in the pockets of the special interests, helped get us into a senseless and illegal war, and is therefor unqualified to be President of the United States. My thoughts exactly. A more specific case can be made against Clinton and I'm sure Sanders will be making it soon.
[This was written before Wisconsin. I'll have an update after NY/PA]
After the March primaries/caucuses and re-allocation from earlier races, Bernie has 1038 delegates. Bernie’s pledged delegate deficit now sits at 228. That means he needs to win 988 of the remaining 1747 delegates or 56.5% to secure the majority of pledged delegates.
We started out on March 16 needing almost 60% of remaining delegates, that is now down to 56.5% of those remaining.
We asked. It was provided.

The reason that rich people are rich is because they don't send good money after bad.
The reason that HRC is "annoyed" by the Sanders campaign refusal to "tone it down" and to not just butt out of the DNC scheduled coronation is because her polls are slip-slip-slidin' away.
[Cross post from Daily Kos]
There’s a diary published yesterday which reaches various conclusions from Bernie’s interview with the editorial board of the NY Daily News. I believe those conclusions are largely wrong.
Let me start with a section of this diary I find truly remarkable:
Okay, too many times, Clinton supporters and so-called experts keep telling everyone about the math for the democratic nomination- number of received votes, the number of super delegates and the “insurmountable” lead that Hillary has in delegates.
When someone asks me why I’m for Bernie rather than Hillary, I say it has to do with the Six Trillion Dollar Mistake.
It’s difficult to understand a figure as large as $6,000,000,000,000.
6 Trillion would buy us one of these four nice things:
When a team is preparing for a championship football game, do they practice by telling the practice squad to wear blindfolds and earplugs; then celebrate whipping the blindfolded teams ass? No. They practice by playing against a well prepared squad so their mistakes can be corrected before the big game.
Does a heavyweight boxer, preparing for the championship bout, choose a featherweight as a sparring partner?
Sorry, I lied. Sadly, this is not breaking news, in fact, it is actually very old news, but I really wish it was.
In 2008, Jed Lewison ("The Jed Report") — Senior DailyKos Policy Editor and Editor of DailyKosTV — former communications director for Sen. Maria Cantwell — put together the following video of Hillary Clinton.
It is rather telling and poignantly illustrative.
