the race to the trailing candidate.

For the next two weeks we will be hearing Sanders supporters rub our noses in her imminent crushing defeat in the New York Primary.

After Hillary wins NY on April 19 we will still be hearing that Hillary's campaign is in disarray and she needs to drop out for the good of the party.

When she follows up by sweeping 5 states on April 26 (PA, MD, DE, RI, CT) the tone will start to change. At that point people will stop claiming that her campaign is falling apart. But they will still call for her to yield the nomination to Senator Sanders.
