Comments
I know, it's a pretty obvious April Fool joke, and my only excuse is sheer laziness. But when you think about it, for all their talk about momentum and fuzzy math and indictments and feeling the Bern and blah blah blah, can we honestly believe that Bernie supporters wouldn't KILL to have the candidates' situations reversed?

11. The biggest myth about these primaries has been that of "momentum" - pundits talk...

...about "momentum" as though it's a sports team getting momentum and charged up by winning.

The primaries are a series of individual votes in different states, with different constituencies and different demographics and, in fact, in some cases different ways of conducting the votes (i.e., straight primary vs. caucus)

The fact is that there is NO "momentum" in these individual votes, as has been proven by the last 10 primaries/caucuses.

Clinton won primaries in five states a couple of weeks ago, states that had a total of 552 delegates at stake. Momentum?

Sanders followed that with caucuses in five states over the last week or so, states with a total of 198 delegates at stake. Momentum?

One would think that after Clinton crushed Sanders on Super Tuesday III that she would have that mythical momentum.

The fact is that there were 10 individual votes over that period of time - Clinton won all five primaries, Sanders won all five caucuses.
