Hillary Clinton's victories in Ohio (surprisingly large margin), Texas and, don't forget Rhode Island, are like a football team that is down by two touchdowns late in the fourth quarter and takes over on downs inside its own twenty-yard line. A big emotional lift, but still down 21-7 with less than five minutes left and a long way to go.
In some respects, it's worse than that, because in football a touchdown is worth 7 points for one team, none for the other. In the Democratic primaries, it's more like 7 points for one candidate, 5 0r 6 for the other.
