Spring break: A very tough break for Bernie.

From Politico:

"This year's Spring Break schedule clashes directly with a large swath of primaries and caucuses, a conflict that comes at the worst of possible times for Sanders, who crushed ... Clinton among young and first-time voters in the exit polls in Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada. The Democratic race is about to enter a four-week stretch where more than half of the party's delegates will be awarded. But ... one campus after another is closing down for weeklong breaks. ...

"[M]ore than a half million college students from 14 states will be on spring break at the same time that the presidential campaign train chugs onto their campuses, according to a POLITICO analysis of the March 5 to March 26 primary and caucus states."
