Bernie Sanders dominated in all three caucuses yesterday. He delivered three landslide victories, the most important of which came in Washington, where 101 delegates are at stake. Sanders will likely take home 72% of those delegates as well as 81% from Alaska and 70% from Hawaii. Those are the huge margins of victory he needs to win by in order to catch Clinton before the convention.

In total, Sanders has now won 15 contests: Washington, Alaska, Hawaii, Utah, Idaho, Michigan, Maine, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Minnesota, Colorado, Vermont, New Hampshire and the Democrats Abroad Primary. He has won 6 of the last 7 delegate battles and 83% of all Democratic caucuses to date. Yesterday, he cut deeply into Clinton's delegate lead just as he did a week ago in Idaho and Utah. His momentum could very well carry him all the way to the White House.
