Good articles to read on this subject - came out today and yesterday, if your interest is data rather than speculation:

Is Hillary Clinton Really in Danger of Losing the Primary?

Despite crowds, Sanders? viability remains a question

Bernie Sanders is a media creation. He fills a vacuum so that the primary is not a coronation, which Americans correctly resent. The media relies heavily on political advertising, which makes up more than 20% of its revenue, and needs a race, even if they have to gin one up.

Media Executives Are Salivating Over Big Money Flooding the 2016 Election Cycle

"Les Moonves, president and chief executive of CBS, memorably said, ?Super PACs may be bad for America, but they?re very good for CBS.?

His views appear unchanged. In a February investor call, Moonves predicted ?strong growth with the help of political spending,? particularly on television. He added dryly, ?looking ahead, the 2016 presidential election is right around the corner and, thank God, the rancor has already begun.?"


Hillary Clinton's political demise has been predicted numerous times. Neither Joe Biden nor Bernie Sanders nor Martin O'Malley nor Jim Webb will beat her. Someone might, but they haven't come along.
