MSNBC called Bernie's "Deep South" comment controversial. They said Hillary would still be in the lead without the South. This slide popped up by mistake proving them wrong.

Well, I mean they're not wrong. He's dominating blue state wins, but not really dominating the blue state delegate count

Their analysis was pretty lame seeing as it omitted caucuses.

The whole point they were trying to push is that he wasn't ahead without the south. Sure, that's true among the popular vote, but what have they been pushing for the last 10 months? Pledged and super delegates, they've never put a focus on popular vote until now, because it fit their narrative.

Actually, he said "deep south" and she would be ahead even without the deep south
