Significance of Sanders' win in Indiana last night:

Prior to the Indiana Primary, Sanders needed 64.6% of the remaining pledged delegates to reach 2026. As a result of his win in Indiana last night, he now needs 65.6% of the remaining delegates to reach 2026.

On the other hand, Clinton needed 35.4% of the remaining delegates, now she only needs 34.4% to get to 2026.

... thinking Sanders isn't full of shit telling them to give him more money so SD's will switch or some other stupid logic.

That kind of thinking needs to be marginalized no?

And Bernie is way out performing Hillary on them. In the GE she will probably lose to trump because of this.
