Is this the reason Bernie is losing?

No, I didn't. Honest... I ran out of gas. I... I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts! IT WASN'T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD!


The longer Bernie goes on explaining why he's not winning the nomination, the more I think of John Belushi kneeled in front of an M-16-packing Carrie Fisher in the Blues Brothers, explaining why he missed their wedding.

But Bernie is losing because all he really has is a bunch of slogans
designed to inflame the already angry.

48 hours from now Bernie will be well on his way to being a footnote.

Sanders did not get the votes needed to win delegates.

He did get his point across.

I think that he helped Clinton by giving her competition.

Many of his fans went OTT though.

Listen to the messaging coming out of the Sanders camp.

"Poor people don't vote."
"The debates were scheduled when no one was watching."
"The calendar favored Hillary in the early going so we couldn't get any momentum."
"We're not getting the media coverage we need."
"No one knows me yet."

It's becoming extremely obvious that Bernie can't believe he and his message are not resonating with the majority, so it simply MUST be the majority's fault.
