FANTASYLAND, OR REALITY? – AT 11:46 A.M. ET:  Bernie Sanders swept three caucus states last night – Washington, Alaska, and Hawaii.  Now he's talking tough.  Maybe Hillary's superdelegates, the party regulars appointed to a convention to prevent the children from taking control, will switch.  From The Hill:

After three big wins out west, Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders said he thinks many of the party's superdelegates who have pledged to rival Hillary Clinton will switch to his side.

"I think the momentum is with us," Sanders said on CNN's "State of the Union" with Jake Tapper on Sunday. "A lot of these superdelegates may rethink their positions with Secretary Clinton."
The Vermont senator swept Saturday's Democratic contests in Washington, Alaska and Hawaii, easily winning the majority of the 142 pledged delegates in those states. The biggest prize of the day was in Washington, which offered 101 delegates to be split up on a proportional basis.

The latest delegate counts still put Sanders behind Clinton, however, with 1,004 pledged delegates to her 1,712.

Of those, 469 are superdelegates who have pledged to Clinton and only 29 have pledged to Sanders.

Sanders on Sunday said those superdelegates may begin to see the "reality" that he's the best candidate to beat GOP front runner Donald Trump.

COMMENT:  I really can't see superdelegates abandoning Hillary, but I could be wrong.  These are pros, and they know just what the GOP will do to Sanders if he's nominated.  He honeymooned in the Soviet Union, for goodness sake.  Can you see that hammer and sickle on the screen?  And they'd leak comments by corporate executives, threatening to take their companies to other countries if Sanders is elected.

Sanders polls well now because he comes off as your friendly uncle.  He won't look so friendly when the Republicans pull out the "D" word – for economic depression, and predict it if Bernie is elected.

I think only the FBI probe can stop Hillary, and the alternative might well be Biden.  But it's a very strange year, and we're not much on predictions here.
