1. In any case, I think Trump will be "close enough" that not nominating him will look like an obvious theft. He should be within 75 delegates.
2. LOL TED CRUZ. GET FUCKED TED YOU PIECE OF SHIT.
3. Bernie should drop out today, but I don't blame him if he waits a week. But he should drop out then and not stay in the race because he wins Rhode Island or something. But he is OK to stay in through the whole thing if the tone moderates.
Actually whatever, he can do whatever he wants. Hillary is strong as ever. I think Bernie has "energized" her base as he has energized his. I HOPE he tones it down but he doesn't really have to.

Even if he doesn't tone it down, no one's really paying attention to wacky Bernie anymore anyway.
I think he is toning it down now, since he congratulated her tonight.

Yea, if he gets swept next week his campaign will be completely marginalized. The only coverage he will get is if he drops out. All eyes will focus on the impending GOP shitshow
Those Northeast values are going to wreck Cruz's life

That should really embarrass Ana. I always thought she was more reasonable then Cenk.
So Quinnipiac released a Connecticut poll.
Clinton 51
Sanders 42
Trump 48
Cruz 28
Kasich 19

Alongside the most recent polling for Maryland and Pennsylvania looks like Sanders is set to have a rotten April 26th. The only question marks are Delaware and Rhode Island which both have a little over 20 delegates up for grabs.

He will start to tone it down and everyone will think they were silly for worrying otherwise. He definitely has energized not only his base but also Hilary's and she's been out there working hard for votes. I'm still glad Bernie is in it and there has been a rigerous primary this year. Do I think he's gone off the rails a few times? Yeah, and I'm looking forward to him toning it down and focusing on down ticket candidates, but the worst thing that could've happened this year was a clear easy Clinton win months ago with barely any primary competition. Complacency kills dems.

If he gets swept he will be ignored after that. As long as his tone changes a bit I don't think there will be a cry to push him out
I expect Weaver and Devine will talk him into continuing.
As for Sanders himself, I've no idea. I suspect he doesn't feel great about pouring a large amount of time and money into NY, and presiding over an increasingly negative and acrimonious campaign, and having nothing to show for it.
If he loses all five next week though, they won't tell him to drop out. Worse, they'll simply ignore him.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
You reversed Kasich and Cruz. Cruz is in third.
So awesome
Lying Ted edited my post I swear.
I woke up with the wake up morning music from Chroni Trigger playing in my head. Now I'm sitting in business class quiet on an Acela, an overpriced "fast train" to Philthydelphia, while shushing loud youth and pointing to the quiet sign. Oh what a beautiful morning, oh what a beautiful day. I've got this wonderful feeling, everything's going my way.

Yea, and for a few brief minutes, Bernie supporters were dancing in the streets, while Hillary supporters looked on in disbelief.
Then the results started coming in showing 60/40 and everything went back to normal.

To a degree, the protracted primary honed her campaigning. But at a certain point there stopped being value in him to that end. They were both just burning through money. And he weirdly became more negative after he had no chance of winning.
I think he'll tone down. But I'm less convinced that he'll do much for other races or that his eventual endorsement of Clinton will be particularly full throated.
She did get to develop the breaking down barriers meme she is using now so that's a plus. She escaped without releasing HA TRANSCRIPTS and probably won't ever. You can just tell at every campaign rally she's like thank fuck I'm not losing this time.

He started off thinking he had no chance and campaigned accordingly, then by the time he realized he might have had a longshot a chance at winning it he realistically had no chance, so I think it was kind of a dying gasp. By now Sanders has to realize he really has no chance and will go back to campaigning as such.
I got one earlier that was the usual "we lost by less than what we were losing by months ago so keep at it!" but nothing really negative and barely mentioned Clinton.

Is Cruz mathematically eliminated at this point? I thought I heard that from yesterday.
Please stop the Sanders apologizing. This is his campaign, Weaver and Devine work for him. The negative turn was his choice, based on their advise or not. If he continues to stay in and sling mud that is his choice too. He likely will because he's a politician (masquerading as an outsider/revolutionary) and there's still a lot of money to wring out of his base.

Retroactive Momentum casts Raise on Momentum?
What a nice morning. The tone change on Morning Joe has been pretty neat.. that "hushed, faux-concern" voice that Mika typically uses when discussing Hillary is now being used for other candidates (and for the GOP).
Glad I didn't blow a vacation day for today. Wonder when we'll hear anything from Bernie's campaign today. I want to see if there's a tone/message change.

In PA you vote for your slate of delegates directly by congressional district, but those delegates don't have to declare who they support, it's not listed on the ballot, and they can vote for anyone they want. The actual votes for who the Presidential nominee only impact the statewide delegates.
