Hillary had headed into Tuesday’s contests leading with over 200 pledged delegates; walking away now with more than 300 – double the largest lead Barack Obama (ever) had over Hillary Clinton in (the) 2008 (election).
The Democratic frontrunner and presumptive nominee for US president in 2016 has more votes, more states, more delegates (with a 707-delegate lead over Bernie’s 1,565 to 858), and more super delegates than Bernie Sanders (1,129 to 835 – a difference of 294), who had hoped to clinch more delegate wins. Although this news fades out that hope; Bernie can still, in theory, win each of the remaining contests (primary elections) by 16 points (if Bernie wins 76% of the remaining delegates) but anything less means he will not win the nomination (if Hillary wins at least 41% of the remaining votes).
