What Wisconsin will mean...

Right now the popular margin is 57-43. If that margin carries over into delegates, Bernie will get 49 and Hillary 39. Hillary will lead by 214. (There is only one state before New York, which is Wyoming and its 14 delegates; hence if these numbers hold it will be mathematically impossible for Hillary to go into New York with a lead of less than 200 delegates.)

Right now, before the numbers are in, Hillary needs 43.62% of remaining delegates. If she gets 39 out of Wisconsin, she will need 43.58%.

So tonight has not helped Bernie at all.

wants their "revolooshun" via their single-issue, inept Dear Leader except them. And they're lashing out as they go down the drain of yet another "also-ran".

the whiter the state the better Bernie does. Also the rest are closed primaries which bernie does not do well in. HE's done he can't catch her once we get to New York so relax guys she's got this

Especially after he wins the HUGE cache of delegates in Wyoming, a key state for any Democratic presidential candidates.
