About that Bernie Sanders ‘momentum’ …

Sanders, as we’ve repeated frequently and to the consternation of Sanders’s fans, simply can’t make up the delegate deficit against Hillary Clinton. We made this graph to that point last week. It takes a smaller win than Sanders’s in Wisconsin to make up the delegates he bit off tonight — but Clinton doesn’t really need to make those delegates up anyway. Her lead is very, very well padded.

Momentum feels important. It feels important to win states, just as it feels important to string together a number of singles and doubles in an inning even if you’re trailing by 11 runs. It feels like you’re getting somewhere. All of this feels like it’s offering more than it ever should have, that it’s positioning Bernie Sanders to be a candidate in a way that no one ever dreamed — perhaps including Sanders himself.

But here, in the hard math of the Democratic delegate process, in a series of contests where Clinton has still gotten millions more votes than Sanders — that momentum is mostly a mirage. It looks like water, shimmering there in the desert.

It’s not.

1. And, as David Axelrod tweets.. @SenSanders talks momentum on winning night. Math less happy

@SenSanders talks momentum on winning night. Math less happy. Even w/win, he'll net a relative handful of delegates. #WisconsinPrimary

5. Bernie won 54% of the vote in wisconsin, while winning caucus's out west close to 80%...

Why couldn't bernie win close to 80% in wisconsin? Now that would have been impressive!

He continually trails because he isn't going to get the nomination.
