As far as picking someone based on color instead of qualification, you would obviously pick a qualified candidate but their skin color would be an additional qualification. Representation is very important.

Look at it this way, the black population already had a president, the homosexuals had no one of note so far*. It might be their turn to be represented.

*I'm aware there might be some that got caught, but that doesn't count.

Does that appear realistic? At this point I have to admit that I don't exactly have a huge map with dates and delegate counts for each state in front of me, because for one I'm not completely crazy - I rather do the math on this one in more of a quick look and feel voodoo style.

I would think/look/feel/voodoo that Bernie will hold a big lead after this Tuesday extravaganza if none of the three big opponents drop out first (Warren possibly dropping out might not change much). Is that right, I don't know. But it might just be that in hindsight, this was the moment, right before super Tuesday, where the moderates fatefully kept dividing up the non-Bernie votes amongst them and therefore lost. 
And then Trump won and did four more years of really emotionally hurtful stuff like further undermining democracy and declaring the dark age of Chtulhu.

Or not.
