Sanders’s Big Problem Isn’t the Delegate Math. It’s the Voters.

Bernie Sanders needed to fundamentally change the trajectory of the Democratic primary race after decisive defeats last week on Super Tuesday. After Tuesday’s contests, even a fundamental shift might not be enough.

Joe Biden’s victories in Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri and Idaho confirm that he has seized a commanding national advantage, spanning virtually all major demographic groups and extending to every region of the country. It puts him on track to claim an all but insurmountable delegate lead in just one week. …

Mr. Biden’s broad support means there are few remaining opportunities for Mr. Sanders to claim momentum and improve his standing. The contests Tuesday were arguably his best shot. CONT.
