Congratulations to Bernie for his win in Wisconsin.

He's cut into Hillary's pledged delegate lead a bit. If his supporters and his campaign can get good wins in NY, PA, and MD later this month, he'll cut further into that lead.

Hillary's lead went down from about 228 to about 215 (still not finalized). He still needs to win big in states with large delegations to the convention. NY is the most important for the pledged delegate count. If he can pull off a big win there, he may still have a chance to have a majority of pledged delegates once all the primaries are done. The April 19th and 26th primaries are going to be crucial for him to win, though.

His supporters and campaign need to bust their butts in the April 19th and 26th states. They need big wins on those dates. Good luck to both campaigns. That's all I can say, since I'm pledged to vote for the Democratic nominee in November, whoever that is.

NY is the only April 19 state. You meant the April 26 states. morningfog Apr 2016 #1

I've congratulated him on his wins before. Good luck to both candidates, as far as I'm concerned at this point.
