for months last summer and fall posted at least ten times a day that Bernie wouldn't win a single caucus or primary. After Vermont, he said basically, Ok, one. I couldn't take it and no longer see his posts, but I'm just happy to know he's had to chow down on a hell of a lot of crow,

Last poll out of New York had her up by 48, and she's never been behind in one so far.

In fact, she has double-digit leads in the three major April primaries--NY, PA, and MD.

I haven't looked at New York at all till just now. That is a huge margin at the moment.

I'm in Wisconsin, My gut says he'll win by at least 5%. There's a weird vibe out there. I think we'll get crossover vote from the Republicans which may surprise more then a few. If we do they won't go Hillary.

The reason I thought you meant Wisconsin was the recent Emerson poll that had Clinton up by 6 there.

I don't know about counting on crossovers. The Republicans are launching a huge Stop Trump campaign there, so I imagine GOP voters will be tied up in their own primary.

I was tall king to an old friend, Republican, and after a little banter... His quote, "Anybody but Hillary."

Gerrymandering case here may go to the Supreme court before November ... may help local races, quite confident Wisconsin goes Blue on the Presidential if Trump gets the call, someone like Paul Ryan... all bets are off.
