She is struggling in the NE. Look at the NH and VT margins. morningfog Mar 2016 #6
Even so, they'll about evenly split the delegates in the "NE" - VT, NH, and MA. George II Mar 2016 #7

5. "Struggles in the NE and west"?

First, only three NE states have voted so far, Sanders won two and Clinton is leading in the third, and that third, MA, is bigger than the two Sanders won. Overall Clinton will get more delegates in the three than Sanders. Not "struggling".

Edit: Both CNN and MSNBC have called Clinton the winner of Massachusetts, further belying that "struggle" in the NE.

Second, only two "west" states have voted, Clinton won Nevada and Sanders may win Colorado. If it remains the same, Sanders will get only 10 more delegates than Clinton and with the two added together, Sanders will have only five or six more than Clinton. Again, not "struggling" in the west, and there still are eight or nine more western states to vote.

The net delegates after tonight still are about 550 for Clinton, 350 for Sanders. No "struggle" for Clinton.

She won MA, but not by a lot.

She struggled to win in NV and lost CO.

I'll at the mid west, where she lost MN and eked out IA. Struggling outside of the south.

Slice it and dice it anyway you want, Clinton won almost 200 more delegates tonight than Sanders, and now has about a 220 lead in pledged delegates.

Sanders now has to win 200+ more delegates than Clinton in the remaining 35 states, and she's leading in 34 of them.

Sorry, it's just about over.

He needed to keep it competitive, but he didn't.

Hillary just accumulated a large pledged delegate lead.

With proportional allocation, it's damn near impossible for Bernie to win.
