Quote:Although he narrowed Clinton’s lead, though, Sanders has yet to alter the underlying dynamics of the race—something he must do if he still hopes to secure the party’s nomination. He performs best in states like those that voted today—those which hold caucuses and not primaries, and in which black and Hispanic voters comprise only a small portion of the Democratic electorate. But that won’t be enough to close the gap with Clinton, unless he can broaden his appeal.

If Sanders wins the rest of the Blue Sates he should get the nomination because he would be be stronger Dem candidate in the States that matter.  Consequently he could easily win the general election.  If Hillary is given the nomination she will lose the general election because the majority of voters in the Blue States don't support her.

Minorities are dumber than rocks.  Afterall, they believe in a magic Jewish zombie who's going to take them to heaven.  So of course they fell for an Arkansas redneck who played the saxaphone.  All he did was play them.  Now they're falling all over his lying racist wife.  The good news is that their votes don't count very much in the general election.

Dem votes in the Red States don't count in the Presidential election; they only count in the local elections. That's why they are Red States and not Blue States.  When will you guys understand how Presidential elections work?  All votes are not equal in Presidential elections.

Minorities do vote for him. In Michigan he won the Arab vote (Michigan, I believe, is the only state where there are enough Arabs to influence elections in the state). People of African descent generally don't know that Clinton gets campaign money from private prisons. If they were better informed about Clinton they'd vote for Sanders (but the entire television media is against Sanders).

Bernie Sanders courted Michigan's Arab American vote, and it paid off (Michigan Radio article)

They probably have friends and relatives who died as a result of war. They know Hillary is a warmonger. They know she will mean more war. Plus, anybody who is being investigated by the FBI isn't fit to be president.

And Sanders won in Hawaii which I'd say is quite diverse. There are a lot of people from the Sinosphere living in Hawaii. And of course native Hawaiians (who aren't Caucasian). In 2010, Hawaii was found to be 40% "Asian" and Sanders won Hawaii by 70% to Clinton's 30%). And Alaska is only 2/3 (66%) White and he won Alaska with 82% of the vote. 15% of Alaska is American Indian and another 5% is "Asian". So your claim that minorities never vote for Sanders is not true.
