The Fix: "Sanders’s campaign manager tried to argue delegate math on MSNBC. It didn’t go well."

Before the final results in New York were known but after it was clear that Hillary Clinton would win the state, Bernie Sanders's campaign manager, Jeff Weaver, appeared on MSNBC to talk to the network's Steve Kornacki.

===============

The Sander's campaign is becoming a laughing stock with their absurd "math" analysis and implausible "paths to victory" claims. I can see a great SNL skit on this coming next Saturday.
