6. You'll notice the Clinton campaign is basically ignoring today's contests.

They're doing that because they can afford to with their current delegate lead, coupled with the projections of big leads in the polls in future primaries - they long ago elected not to compete in these states.

Compare that to Bernie predicting victory in states where he loses. He needs to predict victories to keep his floundering campaign alive, just like they need to hold those yuge rallies to project an image of excitement and faux momentum.

Hillary is taking a well-earned break these days. Her campaign has a grasp of reality and is spending time and resources where they need to, not wasting resources where it wouldn't make a difference.
