In case you missed it: Super Tuesday translates into Clinton being up by 15 to 20 nationally

From Nate Cohn of the NY Times:

Hillary Clinton’s landslide margins in the South and her competitiveness elsewhere translate to an overall lead of around 15 to 20 percentage points nationwide. Her support is anchored by a huge advantage among black voters, who represent nearly a quarter of Democratic voters and have offered her more than 80 percent of their votes — a tally rivaling or even exceeding the share won by Barack Obama in 2008.

Have to wonder how quickly the "It is a tight race!" pollsters are changing their voter screens after yesterday.

Barring some unforeseen circumstance, if it's just based on voting and accumulated pledged delegates, Hillary is going to win the nomination.

The rest is just white noise.
