Clinton's campaign is preparing for a loss, based on what people close to the campaign are saying.
We'll see.
NBC calls it for Sanders. It will get closer. In the end Sanders will win by 3-4 points. Not nearly enough to make any kind of difference.

(3,666 posts)I am assuming that's Clinton country

(34,458 posts)Those would likely be heavily Clinton.
Only 1 precinct from Bloomington (home of IU), which will likely be heavily Sanders, as will the Notre Dame area (St. Joseph's County).

(34,458 posts)It's a college town, obviously, but dominated by engineering to a greater extent than other universities. There are relatively few people of color in the university or town.
Do you have any predictions?
radical noodle
(8,003 posts)Just my feeling.

(27,813 posts)Divide the number of votes he's ahead by $1.6 million and that is a pretty hefty price per vote.

(2,897 posts)puts some money into June 7th states. Yeah, Bernie isn't going to win by the margins necessary to even come close, but I do think feel like every time she pivots to the GE, Sanders ramps up attacks on her back.

(15,951 posts)currently Sanders with a narrow lead.

(16,184 posts)Sanders will win, but at the end of the day, he'll win narrowly in a state Hillary didn't spend a dime in and he'll split the delegates.

(11,588 posts)It doesn't change anything, he would only be up a few delegates, but he will sharpen up his argument that he attracts the independents. Ughhhhhh Of course he will be preaching to the choir who will throw him more money.
I am now making a pledge to turn off the tv whenever he or one of his surrogates is speaking. Easy-peasy way to shut him up.

(5,624 posts)The basic tension in the Democratic results right now is that there's a lot of early vote included in the results so far, and the early vote was great for Clinton. But not much from her best areas, like Indianapolis and Gary, either.
