Politico: Sanders romps in Washington, Alaska, Hawaii
The sweep of three states offers the senator a chance to gain ground against Hillary Clinton.
Bernie Sanders swept all three Democratic caucuses Saturday — scoring victories in Hawaii, Alaska and delegate-rich Washington state.
While the underdog’s West Coast wins are not nearly enough to trip up former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's path to the nomination, Sanders' wide margin of victory provides his campaign with a burst of momentum heading into a 10-day break before the next primary contest. The Vermont senator's big victories are also typically followed by a considerable fundraising bump.

WNU Editor: I would be shocked if Bernie Sanders wins the Democrat nomination .... but he is definitely making it interesting. As to his claim that super-delegates are switching to him .... I doubt it .... they are loyal to Hillary Clinton. The 2016 delegate count and primary results can be viewed here .... 2016 Delegate Count and Primary Results (New York Times).
Thanks to linking to a tracker that doesn't include super delegates, since if he can close in or surpass her in pledged delegates they have to support him, though he must do this before she gets the majority. I cross my fingers, would be good to see Bernie against Trump, two spektrums far from each other but similar in some areas (isolationism and a high threshold for intervention) could also bring in some healthy debate.
