BURLINGTON, VT Hours after Bernie Sanders two top aides used a news conference to pledge to keep fighting for the Democratic nomination, Hillary Clintons campaign manager shot back with a memo painting a grim picture for the Vermont senator.
With a pledged delegate lead of more than 180 and momentum on our side, we anticipate building on this lead even further making it increasingly difficult and eventually mathematically impossible for Sen. Sanders to catch up, wrote Robby Mook, Clinton's top political aide.
Making the case that Sanders would need to start capturing big delegate hauls in large states in order to catch up to the former secretary of state, Mook ran through Tuesdays results to note Clintons wide margins of victory in big states and the resulting delegate hauls for her including 44 net delegates in Georgia and 80 in Texas.
We have no doubt that as long as Sen. Sanders remains in the primary, he will continue to win elections along the way, but it will make little difference to Hillarys pledged delegate lead, Mook wrote. "This upcoming Saturday will reinforce the point: although we continue to fight for every vote, Sen. Sanders has clear advantages and is investing heavily in two upcoming caucuses (Nebraska and Kansas). But even if Sen. Sanders does win in these states, we anticipate being able to win Louisiana by a larger margin and emerge from the day with more delegates."

(15,696 posts)I forgot that up is down now, and fewer is actually more...if you count states that haven't voted yet.
It involves subtraction, which is totally negative, dude.
