Bernie really needed Nevada. Now a loss this lopsided going into Super Tuesday and it's looking pretty grim. He probably can't go past Tuesday if he loses most states and by decent margins (10% or more). Even without the margin, it's still really tough to see Bernie winning more than 10 states total which leaves him no path.

The problem Bernie has is his supporters are all young people. Precisely the group that doesn't vote.
Even after Tuesday, the next five states are all ones that are likely going to Hillary as well. So even if he has a marginally good day on Tuesday, that will get shut down pretty quickly.
I'm not seeing a way for him to win in any scenario. Hopefully Hillary can start to unify the party soon.

Unlike the republicans the Dems will pull together straight away, Bernie will actively support Hillary and try to bring his supporters over to her.
Again unlike the republicans Bernie supporters don't hate Clinton and visa versa, consistently democrats say they respect and would be fine with either when polled.

He claimed it was his favorite book.
But yes, perhaps he doesn't proselytize.

He's not a racist either, he's just selling racism to gullible rubes.

Yeah he is "thumping" the bible now that it suits his needs, but it is hard to imagine a less credible bible-thumper than him.

If Clinton wins primaries, what are the chances that she'd choose Bernie as VP?

I doubt it happens, though it would probably be the best thing for the democratic party.

She'll need a VP that mollified the right wing of the party, and answer the untrustworthyness aspect, it's a shame Bidens already VP because he'd be ideal.

In the general, she'll have leftists locked down, so no need to pander to the far left. It'll be someone more centrist that she'll need to help win over independents.

He's moderate on some things, but he's also pretty hard right on a few issues that are pretty important to Clinton, like reproductive rights.
