A summary of the Primaries/Caucuses as of today's Wyoming Caucus.

34 states have now voted, only 16 states remaining.

Clinton has won 16 Primary states, Sanders has won only 5
Clinton has won only 2 Caucus states, Sanders has won 11 (including today's Wyoming Caucus)

Today's vote is the last Caucus state - the 16 remaining states are ALL Primary states - 10 of them are CLOSED, 5 are semi-closed, and only 1 is open.

Delegate-wise, Clinton has won 10 of the 15 highest delegate count states, Sanders has won the 8 lowest count states.

The delegate count as of today (assuming an 8-6 "win" in Wyoming for Sanders) is Clinton 1309 (1783 total) and Sanders 1095 (1128 total)

Now, the story has been "let the people vote", so how do the wins represent the people?

The states that have voted so far have a combined population of 218,000,000. The states that Clinton has won have a combined population of 165,000,000 - 76% of the population in states that have voted! Sanders on the other hand (a further demonstration of the tiny states that he's won) has won in states with a combined population of only 52,800,000, a mere 24% of all the states that have voted.

In fact, Clinton has already won states that have a combined population of 50% of the total population of the United States, with 16 more to vote!

........presumably just to earn that one (or two) delegate.

So the bottom line in Wyoming is that Clinton will have 10 or 11 total delegates, Sanders 7 or 8.

Hillary won the Goshen, the last county reporting.

With supers, it's 10-7 Hillary.

Delegate count, he needed many more, he is not gaining enough delegates with ten one time and one today. The hill became steeper.

...today that Clinton might pick that one up and make it 7-7. Even if Sanders were to get it, Clinton still would lead 10-8 overall.

closed caucus in a state with a low population of minorities, think of how well she is going to do in a closed primary with a larger population of minorities.

This is what happens when your campaign is powered by youngsters who don't register ahead of time and disaffected liberals that registered as independents because it was trendy not belong/contribute to a party.
