Breaking: Sanders Beats Hillary In Wyoming (That's 8 Out Of 9 Wins Now)

these small stakes caucuses won "in a row" aren't as consequential as bernie's campaign would have you believe.




WHAT'S AT STAKE IN THE WYOMING DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS?


Fourteen of Wyoming's 18 delegates to the national convention are up for grabs among the presidential hopefuls, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. While the delegate number is small compared to other states, Sanders is looking to extend his recent success against Clinton. Sanders has won six of the last seven contests between the two and a victory in Wyoming would keep his momentum heading into the big contests coming up later this month in New York and elsewhere.

Sander's is kicking Hillary's ass. Is she imploding? I say yes. New York will be the deciding factor I believe.

Sanders extends win streak with Wyoming victory


There's just one more Caucus state left for Bernie to win. Caucus states are the biggest joke in this nation to voter disenfranchisement. They typically represent less than 1% of either party that bothers to show up for a 3 hour meeting to cast a vote. Only underdog supporters will go to them. Why this country still has several states that are allowed to do them in a Presidential primary is anyone's guess, but someday they're certain to be challenged. Had all of the caucus states been primary states where several days of voting are done at the voters convenience along with mail in ballots, Hillary Clinton would have won all of those, and Sanders would be a distant memory right now. So Wyoming like all the others where an expected Sanders win, so no surprise.

He's also had some luck in a couple of open primary states where Independents are allowed to vote, and there's been a lot of Operation Bernie voting on by Republicans in hopes that they can get him over the top, as they feel they could steam roll and bury him on election night.

But--we're headed into some large CLOSED primaries where Bernie Sanders is going to get clobbered. New York, Hillary's home state, she is leading by 32 points, in Pennyslvania by double digits, Connecticut and in June the big one California, which is also closed.

Right now Hillary has a 700 delegate lead, and a 2.4 million vote lead. It is mathematically impossible for Bernie Sanders to close this gap. He would have to win every state left, and not only win them, but win them big by 74%, or capture 3 out of 4 delegates from here on out. That's not going to happen--but if by some miracle it did happen. He would still have to convince 700 Democrat Super Delegates to dump the party faithful in this race, Hillary Clinton and support him. They're not going to do that for someone that just changed his party status to run on this ticket, and who is someone that never worked or supported another Democrat for elected office.

At this time a Sanders rally is nothing more that a side show for more campaign $$$$.

Bernie Sanders’s path to the nomination is getting very narrow
Bernie Sanders Is Even Less Competitive Than He Appears
