So much for "momentum". And after tomorrow, Hillary's pledged delegate lead is going to back above 300. In less than 48 hours she will clinch the majority of pledged delegates, the majority of total delegates, and the majority of popular votes. And none of them will be close, the margins will be huge.

This is going to be over pretty quick now.
