Sanders Adviser Says Campaign May Have To 'Reevaluate' After Tuesday
"If we think we've made enough progress, then we'll keep on the path that we're on," Devine said. "If we think we have to, you know, take a different way or reevaluate, you know, we'll do it then. But right now, we think the best path beyond is the one we laid out months ago."
That path involves winning a lot in the weeks ahead — and finally overtaking Clinton in pledged delegates in June. Although some in Sanders' orbit are talking about a fight at the convention in July, Devine said the only winning strategy is for Sanders to come out ahead in pledged delegates. And that won't be easy.
Right now, the Clinton campaign and other Democrats are getting worried that some of Sanders' attacks are going to leave a mark that will hurt her in the general election, should she be the nominee. Sanders raised significantly more money than Clinton in March and has been able to outspend her on television ads in state after state. To maintain her lead, Clinton has to keep campaigning hard, running ads and not fully turning her attention to the general-election fight.
Elleithee said the way Sanders and his surrogates handle the next month-and-a-half will determine his campaign's legacy.
"People ought to feel good about what he did," Elleithee said. "The problem is too often campaigns in this position end up squandering a lot of that goodwill as part of the end game."
The hard part is knowing when the end game has begun.

You sound gleeful about the possibility of another election 2000.
That will show HRC, and her supporters and Nancy Pelosi and Debbie W. Schultz.
Party purists are going to be real REAL sorry if a republican gets in there, because of stubbornness.
How do you know Sanders isn't in it for himself? You dont run for president if you dont WANT the powers.
Your also assuming he will have a democrat senate and house. He wont get CRAP done without one.
I started out voting for Reagan, so NONE of us can ever change our minds about positions or people?
If there is any question of TRUST its in your own minds. 25 years of republican lies and way left unhappiness
with more moderate dems is the problem.
Because you so can TRUST the republican party. They never LIE, CHEAT or STEAL.
Right now Charles Koch is trying to influence the election by making it sound like Clinton is terrific for them.
Hes only spending millions trying to defeat all democrats, but lets believe what he says, because..
Sanders.
