Very early in his campaign, around the time he declared it back in mid-May, I wrote to Bernie and said “Avalanches don’t only start with a thunderclap or a gunshot … sometimes they start with a little tiny snowball that starts to form at the very top of the mountain.”The Bernie Sanders avalanche is about halfway down the mountain now, and the few little snowballs, which became many, are just starting to morph into a tremendous cascade.
The post-March-15 primary season will see the American people either part of this avalanche, or else they will see it coming. It will sweep up all in its path. Bernie Sanders and his supporters are a force of nature, and nothing will deny us or defeat us!

I thought Sanders did pretty well for a day that he was expected to be trounced thoroughly. Better than expected in FL and NC, ok in OH, and basically ties in MO and IL.
New Clinton meme – the sooner Sanders gets out of the way, the better we can prepare to beat Trump. (Implying that it will be his fault if she loses to Trump later on). I think this argument would hold more water if she was decisively clobbering Sanders every time out. But it isn’t so clear. She’s got an edge, and super delegates, but big states are still to come. And the margins have been close in many places.
If MO is too close to call, calls to drop out are silly. At least for today.
