2016 Postmortem

Including Wisconsin as a win for Bernie, because that seems like a foregone conclusion (albeit by a smaller margin than he needs), those are the populations of the states won by Hillary and Bernie, respectively.
Anyone who is lobbing out the "Is Hillary Clinton done?" questions from the Sanders camp is doing so just to get a psychological rise out of Clinton supporters.
The primary calendar has been almost destined to be very streaky with the clusters of southern states first and then caucus states. Now I think we're in a stage where there will be a lot of back and forth, but the basic delegate situation means that Sanders will have to not only win the remaining states, but win them by a lot. We're basically out of caucuses and southern states, and the remaining states look like they'll generally be within 10 points one way or the other. I don't expect the basic delegate margin to change terribly much between now and the end of the primary season.

(2,774 posts)Bernie to win WI, NY, and CA by significant margins and for Hillary to win PA. The delegate margin may be closer than you think.
