especially when time is limited.

How about we let people vote.

If Bernie wins NY then he wins NY.

If he wins the nomination then I'll vote for him, I'm not a brat who'll stomp their feet and not vote.

I'm one of those purists who's "my candidate or bust".

I have better sense than that.

Wisconsin is the same state who elected Walker twice and just elected some batshit crazy supreme court justice. They're a pretty schizophrenic state.
