She'll win New York by the same margin he won Wisconsin. I look for her to absolutely run it up with Maryland. Pennsylvania, I'm sure will help as well with a near 15 - 20% win. New York and April 26th are gonna be key to help offset some states that follow those primaries....till we get to Puerto Rico, where she will smash it there as well.

I agree with this assessment. PR is a caucus right? I hope she doesn't embarrass herself there

Obama endorsed her over the frontrunner (Joe Sestak) and she wants everyone to know it.

Regardless, I find it odd that he would criticize her for wanting to take an incremental approach when he's planning on doing it the same?

He's criticizing her for not going far enough

Why do Bernie supporters always act like Hillary supporters simply don't research? Why can't it be that people just have different political views than you?

Actually I was being a tad disengenuous with 16%. That's an estimate. So if he's even close to that (within 1.5% points) he can technically qualify to be on track. So really 14.5% is good too

I was actually doing my own math. At first it came up as a little over 15 but I went with 16 to be sure.

Mess if we had similar numbers.

OH NOOOO!!!!

Hillary is catching Bernie Sanders in Dane County! He's only up by 24% now! She might win the capital!

Bernie will win Wyoming, but I wonder what the percentage will be. In 2008, it was 61.44% to 37.83% for Obama and Hillary.

New York is the next nail bitter campaign, but she'll win with a similar if not bigger margin like tonight in Wisconsin which is amazing for her math. April 26th will easily be the most predictable of the cycle, and Hillary should be about a few hundred short of the magical number.

She's said that she wants to try a smaller number before jumping to $15 if $12 doesn't work well... If he's wanting to reach $15 incrementally, then I don't think that's a valid criticism.

Flat minimum wage increases are dumb, you have to scale it by cost of living.

Have you watched most of the Hillary Vs. Bernie debates? Is that all you took from them?

I've never understood why there's always been a dollar amount on the minimum wage laws. It just leads to stagnation over a long period of time when taking inflation into account. It needs to be a percentage, like you said, but the Republicans would probably never go for it.

. Either way it's a good night for Bernie, set to be a good weekend, and he'll have lots of good coverage and fundraising

I want Hill to clapback the 14th and 19th though!

I always said MD was PA lite but it might be the other way around. PA takes so many influences politically from MD except we have less minorities (though not much less) and more gays

Maryland definitely is more diverse than PA.

I'm over this narrative that Hillary supporters are simply ill informed or don't know how to think for themselves. I debated which candidate I was going to vote for and support for months before deciding that Hillary was the best choice for me. I actually was rooting for Bernie for a while.

I'm kinda worried about the minimum wage increase. I live in a small town and work at this local pizza parlor. My boss is the sweetest lady in the world, and she has told me she barely makes enough profit to pay us. I get paid $8.25 after I've received a few raises, but she starts everhone at minimum wage ($7.25) We have 10 workers right now, how on earth will she be able to hike everyone's pay over DOUBLE?

My mouth is watering at the idea of getting $12-$15 an hour, but I feel like she would have to fire a lot of people or cut our hours MAJORLY.

Does anyone have any solid proof, articles, etc. that can ease my worries? I mean the idea of me getting paid $15 an hour for making pizzas is honestly pretty damn ridiculous. That is sooo much money. I'm just a student, I don't have that many bills to pay yet. If I were living alone and going to college, then yeah I would be struggling but at the same time my job isn't that hard..

I'm super conflicted on raising minimum wage. Part of me has the conservative opinion that 'minimum work = minimum pay". But I can see the other side I guess.. Can any one of you push me all the way one way?

This has nothing to do with the debates, which by the way rarely contain anything of substance. It's common sense. $15 in New York City is not the same as $15 in Bismarck, North Dakota.

I hope Bernie spends all his time in New York that he forgets about April 26th.

He's coming to PA tomorrow. He's not trying it seems in Maryland though. Don't know if it's a snub because black voters are a large group there or if it's smart campaigning since he's highly unlikely to win it

[DivaDown]

I can't believe out of 72 counties in Wisconsin, Bernie Sanders is gonna win 68 of them!!!!
