Here's a look at how it's going relative to targets. From http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/election-2016/delegate-targets/democrats/

Delegate targets for yesterday:
MI 67. He got 69
MS 13. He got 4
Total Target 80. He got 73. That's 91% of target. Pretty damn good.

The future positive effect of the win in MI far outweighs missing overall target for the day.

With every primary, he's getting closer.

March 1 -- 83% of cumulative target for that day
March 5 -- 85%
March 8 -- 86%

That's movement is a big deal. He is going in the right direction big time.

And the better he does, the better he'll do. It's one of those virtuous cycles.
