The Democratic establishment doesn't want Bernie to win because they think he's too far to the left and therefore unelectable to swing voters.

2. Hillary has a lockdown on Hispanic American and Black voters. Despite continued efforts on Sanders part he can't seem to break through.

Among Black voters it's in part because their is a strong bond between many black voters and the Clintons that will be hard to unhinge.

Since his entrance into the race he has been polling steadily upwards, but has flatlined at 30% for the last month, which means he's probably hit the ceiling of his support.

Plus, Hillary also maintains a strong lead over Sanders in Iowa.

What does this all mean? Hillary will be the Presidential candidate for the Democratic Party!
