But, ya know...every state should vote and then see where we are in the end. But I find it hilarious that math somehow is looked at as this bad thing.

Hillary will continue to pick up delegates in these contests even with losses today. She will continue to pick up more delegates in future caucuses and open primaries whether she wins the contests outright or not. Obviously, the closer the contest, the better ....

With 1,229 pledged delegates out of the 2,383 delegates needed to win, she already has accumulated more than half the delegate requirement. That pledged delegate total will continue to rise no matter what happens today.

But it is in the semi-closed and closed primaries remaining where pledged delegate numbers are highest and those dynamics as well as state demographics are in Hillary's favor.
