Bernie may have won NE and KS, but it won't give him more delegates than Hillary's LA count.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on the 2016 presidential campaign, with voters in five states getting their say Saturday in nominating contests (all times Eastern Standard Time):

9:41 p.m.

Bernie Sanders may have won Nebraska, but he won't be gaining ground in The Associated Press delegate count after Hillary Clinton's victory in Louisiana.

With 51 Louisiana delegates at stake, Clinton will gain more than half — at least 28.


That margin will make up for her loss to Sanders in Nebraska.

In that state, Sanders will pick up at least 14 and Clinton will receive at least 10.

Also voting on Saturday were Kansas Democrats. The party says Sanders won that caucus but hasn't released vote totals.

Including superdelegates, Clinton now has at least 1,104 delegates by the AP count. Sanders has at least 446. It takes 2,383 delegates to win.

Caucuses can sometimes take forever to tally. Clinton will wind up with about 15 more than Sanders. George II Mar 2016 #2

According to the LA Times,
Clinton received 38 delegates today. Not sure if they're all pledged, but that's what they're reporting.
Sanders received 14 delegates today.

Overall delegates: 1104 Clinton / 446 Sanders

Bernie's problem is simple: Minorities are the Conservative Wing of the Democratic Party. It's going to be damn hard to sell minorities on a guy who loves raising taxes, won't go to church, and has a serious man-crush on Cold War-era communist dictators.
