they have about sixty delegates each. Still Hillary needs to sweep to stay competieive with Bernie because

the dems will get no electoral votes from any of Hillarys southern state victories. A person needs 270 electoral votes to win.

All democratic electorals will come from the blue northern states.

Bernie has won nine of them soundly Hillary has won three barely.

Hillary has to stay close to Berines win record in the electoral blue states in order to demonstrate strength in the general if she wants to stay in contention.

The Republicans have winner-take-all primaries in Florida and Ohio. What are they thinking? It's ridiculous.
