Is Bernie finished?

Not over till it's over, but realistically yes it's over.

He never started.

He did, but it became "lean over" after out of early states all but one (NH) voted for Hillary, and his viable path to defeat disappeared after an early March primaries. The primary schedule always favored Hillary (with the entire South already voting and playing a large part in providing her with a lead in delegates).

Not over till it's over, but realistically yes it's over.

Well, of course theoretically it's not over until she reached the magic number, and it's even more theoretically not over until she's formally nominated, but barring a major scandal breaking before that point or her (not very likely) death, Bernie has no viable path to victory.

Of course. My point is saying that we know how elections will turn out is different from saying that elections have already taken place. For example, I wouldn't say that Richard Shelby has already won his 2016 re-election.

Also, I'm annoyed at how some people have declared this race "over" every time Clinton wins a primary.

This race was over after South Carolina. Bernie never really had a chance, the real question is how did he even get this far?

Because a significant minority of Democratic primary voters prefer Sanders to Clinton, and can't be convinced otherwise.

Also I don't think South Carolina was the end of Sanders's campaign (I think it's weird that people treated it as such) but I do think that completely abandoning the South was one of his biggest mistakes.

So much for the political revolution. Lol.

For those enough who are deluded enough to think that the "political revolution" is solely tied to Sanders as a person, sure.
