Is It the End of the Bern?

Is It the End of the Bern?

This past Tuesday Bernie Sanders lost Missouri, Illinois, Florida, North Carolina, and Ohio. Many media sources are saying this could be the end of his campaign as he’s lost too many states. All the landslides went in Hillary’s favor. Sanders would have to win practically every state by large margins to catch up. Even unlikely wins in big states such as New Jersey, California, New York (where Clinton was a Senator), and Pennsylvania wouldn’t be enough to score him a spot. In the 2008 election Hillary scored big in Arizona, New Mexico, Maryland, and even Puerto Rico, all states not accounted for yet. Essentially, Sanders has to beat Clinton 58 to 42 percent constantly, which is improbable. From here it looks like Clinton is on the track to victory.
