As dismissive as the Clinton camp will be about this, there is no mistaking the significance of these wins for the Bernie train.

A real problem for the Clinton response to this is the fact that his margins of victory are YUGE and he is not as demographically-confined as she would like Democratic voters to believe.

Watching Clinton supporters rationalize the “Sanders only wins white people” narrative with his 40% margin in Hawaii (22% white) is amazing

It is unclear exactly how many delegates the senator from Vermont will earn from the contests this weekend, but perfectly clear is the pressure he continues to apply to Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton. This was exemplified this morning when Sanders challenged Clinton to another debate before the New York primary.
