Right about now the mainstream media is telling you Hillary Clinton has the nomination locked up.
And that Bernie Sanders and his supporters should just go home.
but Sanders and his campaign still have two reasons for optimism:
History and Math
History shows that the candidate with the early lead doesn't always win.
In 1992, Bill Clinton lost 11 of the first 12 states
before gaining any traction.
Meanwhile math shows us how Bernie needs to perform to reverse Clinton's current lead.
Early polling shows Sanders leading 16 of the remaining 20 contests. Including large states
such as California and New York.
To overtake Clinton, Sanders needs to win 60% of the remaining delegates or the same percentage of delegates that Hillary has won so far.
So get ready America
because the race is going all the way to the Democratic National Convention in July

portrayed as. And Sanders supporters have a distrust of MSM, or have other media preferences. Cable news is influential beyond its core audience but the actual size of its core audience is much much smaller than we might imagine -- under 4 million viewers on average for primetime and that is ALL of the cable news outlets combined (MSNBC, FOX, CNN).
