Bernie won college grads, and people with no college as well.

(388 posts)Bernie will do well in the city and outside the city.
There are more liberals in NY than in wisconsin. Upstate NY also shares much in common with Vermont. Millions of young people and college students in NY plus large amounts of liberal democrats.
NY might be a rout for Hillary.

(206,016 posts)Much closer to Vermont (and Canada) than NYC. Lots of Bernie supporters in my neck-of-the-woods...

(12,689 posts)There are plenty of liberal Democrats who vote for Clinton. It's a big mistake to assume that she has no liberal support.

(388 posts)Bernie won 79% of that voting block.
Do you think there are more liberals in NY or in Wisconsin?

(11,607 posts)Meaning they can't vote in the Democratic primary. And NY has this crazy law where you have to change your party registration six months before the primary if you are already registered with another party.

(8,352 posts)that as long as the independent registered as a member of the Democratic party by the deadline, actually they can vote.
That is what we indies do in closed and semi-closed states.

(8,352 posts)I did the same with many here in Arizona.
And the Sanders campaign has been doing it nationally.
This idea that open primaries are the only friendly ones to Sanders is about to radically change.
Open primaries have been much more favorable to Sanders. We'll see what happens on 4/19.

Statewide fewer than half a million are registered independents, and there are some other parties people have registered by. But I think that the entire: He can't count on the Independents so Hillary wins! meme isn't going to be very accurate.

(51,122 posts)Nope.

(388 posts)Do you really think there aren't liberal democrats in NY?

(2,760 posts)Care to guess who won each State?
kcjohn1
(751 posts)It means both states are alike and we should see similar results, no?
Also NY is much more liberal than Wisconsin. Obama only won WI by 7 in '12 vs 24 points in NY. Bernie doesn't need independents to win. Enough liberal democrats.

(2,760 posts)Obama won WI, Hillary won NY
