Bernie's Shellacking in the NY commuter counties doesn't bode well for Connecticut
It's entirely possible that Bernie wins Connecticut. Let's get that preliminary out of the way.
That said, the new information from yesterday is the utter ass-kicking that Bernie took in the New York commuter counties.
Westchester County was a disaster for Bernie: he was beat 2-1. Hillary won Rockland and even Orange county.
The news from the Island is no better: Bernie was beat soundly in Nassau County, and even lost Suffolk County by damn near 10 points.
Connecticut has its own demographics and regions to be sure, but many match what we'd see in those areas. Southern Connecticut is much more like Long Island than it is like Vermont. Western Connecticut functions much like Westchester County. The cities in Connecticut are not going to help Bernie out of that bind.
If you're figuring that Connecticut is in New England, so Bernie should have it on lock, try again. Coin toss at best. After yesterday, I'd say leans Clinton.
