The Latest: Reid says Sanders has no path to nomination
By Associated Press April 26 at 3:08 PM
WASHINGTON The Latest on campaign 2016 as voters head to the polls in Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Delaware and Maryland (all times Eastern):
2:50 p.m.
Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid says he does not think Bernie Sanders has a path to winning the Democratic presidential nomination.
Responding to questions at his weekly news conference Tuesday Reid declined to suggest Sanders should drop out or cede the ground to Hillary Clinton whos expected to post a strong showing in Tuesdays primaries.
He said Sanders is a good person who has run a campaign that I think weve all recognized has been unique and powerful, and I think Bernie should do what he wants to do.
But asked whether Sanders has a path to the nomination Reid said: No I do not.
He said that Sanders will do what he feels is appropriate and Sanders No. 1 issue is whats best for the country.

Why doesn't he go back to NV and try to manipulate some more voting outcomes. This article doesn't even touch on many of the things that were done.
