Hillary's target for Wyoming is only 5 pledged delegates

out of the 14 available.

http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/election-2016/delegate-targets/democrats/

Right now, she is at about 40% compared to Bernie's 60%. If that is maintained, she'll have at least 5 and will maintain her track to read a majority of pledged delegates at the convention.

Results are not all in yet, of course.

Win or lose, Wyoming is insignificant. Only a Sanders loss would be a story here. nt onehandle Apr 2016 #1
That's true, of course. MineralMan Apr 2016 #2
I disagree. If Sanders underperforms, even if he wins, it is not a good thing. Lucinda Apr 2016 #5
She's got 2 so far. fighting-irish Apr 2016 #3
I think you may not understand how delegates are allocated. MineralMan Apr 2016 #4

With just 14 pledged delegates, it doesn't play much of a role at the national convention. It's still one of our 50 states, and one that reliably votes for Republicans for President. Like some of the Southern states, it doesn't really play in the general election for the Democrats.

Still, it has 14 delegates. All Democrats are represented at the Democratic National Convention, as they should be. Wyoming has a very small population, though, so has few delegates.

Wyoming should have been a big win.

Sadly, I do not have time at the moment to explain.
