2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumMy rough-cut predictions for the rest of the primary season.
I'll do this with rough percentages. Basic gist of it is that there will be a strong Bernie run through the 9th of April, but I'm not sure it ultimately matters. They're mostly small western caucus states that cause a shrug from most people. He'll net decent numbers of delegates out of the Washington Caucuses, but once we get to mid-April things get tough for him.
March 22nd:
ID Caucus - Bernie 60%/Hillary 40%
UT Caucus - Bernie 60%/Hillary 40%
AZ Primary (Closed Primary) - Hillary 58%/Bernie 42%
March 26th (Bernie's single strongest night):
AK Caucus - Bernie 70%/Hillary 30%

The race will effectively be over after April 26th. We're going to have these streaky performances where Bernie comes back for the next few weeks after a rough last few weeks, but then he gets a bad run of it in mid-April.

(465 posts)Well, it voted in horrible candidates before (Reagan, Ah-nuld, Pete Wilson, etc) so I guess it's possible.

(21,328 posts)otherwise, this has been pretty accurate so far. I wish I had gone with my instincts and given him RI, however.
