Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumOK, we just had the worse day of the season--now look what's ahead of us
The Wisconsin primary (April 5) is an open primary on April 5--it will be close--but I think that a lot of independents will also be voting for Kasich. HRC and her team are going all out--there are ads and phone banks and door knockers. Hillary is coming next week.
Wyoming on April 9 may be a blip for Bernie. It is a caucus on a Saturday--but it's also a closed caucus. Only 14 delegates.
Then we move east for a series of closed primaries--where only democrats can participate. On April 19 is the New York Primary. There is 247 delegates at stake and HRC is popular in her adopted home state that she was elected to twice for the U.S. Senate. She should be able to take a big number of delegates that day.
Then a week later come five additional closed primaries:
Pennsylvania (189 delegates)
Maryland (95 delegates)
Connecticut (55 delegates)
Rhode Island (24 delegates)
Delaware (21 delegates)
I would say based on history and recent polls that Pennsylvania should be very good to HRC as well as Maryland. I also feel good about Delaware. The two New England States will be closer but I don't believe that Bernie will have blow outs like in upper New England. These will be democrats voting--not indies and I think that HRC can win them like she won Massachusetts.
So as they say--turn that frown upside down!

(30,058 posts)Sanders has to win all of the rest and more than splitting the delegates. I would not be surprised if Hillary does well in the remainder of the states. The delegates continues.
