John Nichols is such an insightful analyst and he's very good reading this morning. The link and an extract are placed below. Have a great day.

“Tomorrow, the political establishment will say once again that Bernie can’t win. That’s nothing new. They’ve been singing that tune since before the primary even started. But every single week, Bernie’s support gets stronger and stronger. Tonight, Bernie’s North Carolina performance was 15 points better than his South Carolina performance last month, and 5 points better than his Virginia performance two weeks ago,” said Dan Cantor, the national director of the Working Families Party, which backs Sanders. “This is a close race, and it will be contested in every state. The fact of the matter is that the first half of the primary schedule favored Clinton. The second half will favor Bernie. The only question is whether it will be enough. We intend to do everything we can to make sure it is.”

The contests to come appear to be a good deal friendlier to Sanders, who has strong bases of support in Arizona, Idaho and Utah (which will vote on March 22) and Alaska, Hawaii and Washington (which will vote on March 26). And recent polling from Wisconsin, which folds its primary April 5, has Sanders narrowly ahead. Beyond the immediate schedule, great big-delegation states such as New York (April 19) and California (June 7) have yet to weigh in.

Even if Sanders were to win all of those primary and caucus contests in late March and early April, Clinton would still be the front runner, and she would still enjoy a big delegate lead. But Sanders could get a lot closer to Clinton in the competition — perhaps close enough to convince some “super delegates” to move his way. And he can continue to build a movement politics with a potential to influence convention rules, platform planks and perhaps even the selection process that will name a vice presidential contender.

Sanders has always said that he is mounting this presidential run in order to challenge “establishment politics and establishment economics.” His populist appeal has influenced Clinton on a host of economic issues; indeed, noted Progressive Change Campaign Committee co-founder Adam Green, “Hillary Clinton won Ohio and had a Super Tuesday by riding the economic populist tide instead of fighting it. Clinton has engaged Bernie Sanders in a race to the top on key issues like expanding Social Security instead of cutting it, breaking up Too Big To Fail banks, jailing Wall Street executives who break the law, and debt-free college. That was almost unimaginable a year ago. In Ohio, Clinton went further than before against corporate-written trade deals, saying, ‘We have to oppose the TPP.”
