THE BERN WAS FELT INDIANA! BERNIE WINS! 

Bernie Sanders handed Hillary Clinton an embarrassing defeat in Indiana on Tuesday night, re-energizing his campaign to take the fight all the way to this summer’s Democratic convention.

The Vermont senator cast the victory as a voter rebellion against a Clinton coronation.

“The Clinton campaign thinks this campaign is over,” Sanders said. “They’re wrong. Maybe it’s over for the insiders and the party establishment, but the voters in Indiana had a different idea.”

Sanders was handily beating Clinton, 52.5 percent to 47.5 percent, with 97 percent of the vote counted. She had led the polls going into Tuesday’s vote.

Still, with the state’s 83 delegates divided proportionally, Clinton will pick up a little less than half of them.

That now makes it mathematically impossible for Sanders to pick up the 983 delegates he needs to win the nomination outright, and any path forward will hinge on flipping the superdelegates who have already backed Clinton.

The former secretary of state is 182 delegates short of 2,383 becoming the first major-party female presidential candidate, leading Sanders in delegates, 2,201 to 1,399.

Nevertheless, Sanders said he’s confident he’ll win upcoming races in West Virginia, Oregon, New Jersey and Kentucky, showing the extent of Clinton’s weakness and the frustrations of some Democrats with her.

Sanders even called for another debate with Clinton.

“I sense a great deal of momentum. I sense some great victories coming,” he said.

 Clinton largely ignored Indiana this week. She campaigned in West Virginia and Ohio Tuesday and passed on an election night party.

Her campaign issued a statement on Donald Trump’s win, rather than her loss.

“While Donald Trump seeks to bully and divide Americans, Hillary Clinton will unite us to create an economy that works for everyone,” Clinton’s campaign chairman, John Podesta, said.

Now it’s onto West Virginia!
