When you hear BS supporters say that he's won the last five contests...

point out that what he won were five relatively small caucus states where attendance was not all that great (compared to primaries)--meanwhile also point out that HRC has won the last six primaries in diverse states like Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Missouri, North Carolina and Ohio and where the total turnout on the democratic side was nearly 7 million votes and HRC won 57% to Bernie's 43%--over 960,000 more votes than he did in those states. She won those states by more votes than turnout in those caucus states combined.
