2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumIt appears to me that Hillary has also given up on Wyoming. Bernie gave his acceptance
speech last night from Wyoming. Hillary was in New York.
My guess is that's another state for Bernie.

it's extremely hard to GOTV for that kind of event. very resource intensive with hard to predict returns.
her supporters don't run on passion like Obama's did in 2008 or Bernie's do in 2016. But they sure as hell vote.

(3,017 posts)She has to spend too much time doing high dollar fundraisers all over the country. It's a little past peak ski season to do one in Jackson Hole.

(146,341 posts)It sends 14 pledged delegates to the convention. New York, on the other hand, sends 291 delegates to the convention. It looks like Hillary is doing her math homework, really.
Wyoming is also a caucus state, while NY is a closed primary state. If I were Hillary, I'd be in New York, too. Bernie will win in Wyoming and get most of its delegates. He really needs to win strongly in New York, too. If I were him, I'd be in New York as well, and let Wyoming do its own thing.
