Hillary won demographically similar Prince George's County, MD with > 80% of the vote.
I think she'll be a slight favorite in DC.

(52,152 posts)she has won every state which boarders it by double digits, it is demographically similar to New York where she romped, it gets its media from New York and PA where she romped. DC which is more African American as a Democratic electorate than MS, LA, SC, and GA all of which she won by over 40 points in most cases by over 50.

When all is said and done, she'll have a larger lead in pledged delegates than Obama had in '08.

(10,475 posts)This is like a basketball game where you're up by 30 with 3 minutes left, where the coach rests his starters and gives the bench some floor time. It doesn't matter if the other team scores 28 in those 3 minutes, it's still a loss.
Hill spent fuck-all in IN and still walked away with 38 delegates.

The independent variable that has the greatest effect on the outcome of any primary or caucus held so far is not whether or not the primary or caucus is open or closed but the percentage of non-white voters.

(2,064 posts)and those lining there pockets from corporations are worried that the corporations will send more money to the Elephant Brand corporate boot lickers than the Donkey Brand corporate boot lickers. This was not supposed to happen. They were supposed to coast to the coronation and cash fat checks from Goldman Sachs, WalMart, ExxonMobil for the next 8 years.
Now they see their dirty blood money potentially slipping away. Look for the attacks on Bernie and progressives in general to get even nastier in the coming days.

(94,373 posts)He needs 19 points to "win"
He needs 30 points to hit his threshold for pledged delegate lead (assuming he doesn't fall further behind...like last night).
Might want to get working on that.

(6,437 posts)All of these will be either closer than what Bernie needs or outright Clinton wins.
And Bernie could win literally every single remaining contest and not be within 100 delegates of Clinton, much less in the lead.

(10,721 posts)But I agree, he won't win by the margin required. And he won't win NJ or DC at all.
