Before going 5 for 5 with OH, FL, etc Clinton +206. After losing 7 of the last 8, Clinton is +216

[Godhumor]

So 13 states off the board since the 2 winning steaks started resulting in a net +10 to Hillary. I do believe that is called effectively running out the clock.

1. Don't always know how a game will end.

There can always be a long shot at the buzzer.

2. You know that the long shot at the buzzer....

...only works if the game is tied or a 1 pt difference?

5. Part of supporting a fringe candidate is an acceptance of probable defeat from the beginning

Which is why Hillary supporters are having such a hard time, they went into this assured of victory, they went with the inevitable winner and to see the inevitable winner even slightly evitable shakes them to the core.

If I lose I'm no worse off than I was before, for many of them it means they lose their status which is evidently tightly wrapped with that of their candidate.

6. Going from 88% of fivethirtyeight target to 92%

Which is outperforming targets by 12%

If he continues on the same track (i.e., outperforming targets by 12%) he wins pledged delegates.

7. Considering the next target for NY has him winning outright

The chance of simply meeting that target is slim to none, much less beating it by 12%.

And if you want to go off momentum, he equaled hood target exactly in Wisconsin (No 12% there) and missed his target in Wyoming.
