A little off topic: Has Wisconsin crying guy (Democracy died tonight!) endorsed the bern?Good question because the answer could go two ways.
Or is he a Hildebeast man?
Wait. Whoa. What?WI has an open primary. I know at least one Republican who told me he is voting for Hillary just to get Bernie out of the race faster.
I just now saw a headline on the Drudge Report, saying Methuselah's leading the worthier candidate in Wisconsin by 2.6%, according to the polls.
The last polls I read showed the old sourassed sourpuss blowing Messalina Agrippina away, by anywhere between 8% and 20%.
Based upon what the Bernie bullies have told me the past few weeks, I'd privately assumed he was going to win better than 2-to-1, by something like 70-30%.
Which wasn't good news, but as mentioned earlier, the old guy's so far behind he can't possibly catch up anyway.
If the race today is this close, I'm revising my projections; rather than a sure Bernie victory, I'm now thinking anything can happen today.

The parties control and decide their primary process, not the state.
Why on earth does any party run an "open" primary?
Millions of scruffy, smelly, ignorant, America-hating losers, the core of the democrat party, are being invited to vote for the Trump nut.
They get the satisfaction of casting a vote against American society, while helping to insure the election of the Hildebeast.
If Sanders wins, how much ground does he gain?
Wisconsin is an overwhelmingly white state with a progressive political tradition, so it was no surprise that Senator Bernie Sanders held a modest lead over Hillary Clinton in Democratic polls leading up to the primary.
But Mr. Sanders's overall deficit — he trails Mrs. Clinton by about 230 delegates — is becoming so large that winning only modest victories puts the Democratic nomination farther out of his reach. He needs to win around 57 percent of the outstanding vote to win a majority of pledged delegates. If he falls short of that bar in Wisconsin, his target in later states will be ratcheted up even higher.
Mr. Sanders might still pull off a big win. Barack Obama won the state by 17 points in 2008, after all. But a big win for Mr. Sanders would not necessarily put him on track to win the nomination. Even an overwhelming victory for the senator might only narrow Mrs. Clinton's lead by 20 delegates.
Something for WillyT to contemplate upon:

Too bad for the Bernie bullies.
While this is true, Frank, I want the Bernouts to keep going right to the convention. Why? It'$ very $imple. The more fund$ that HilLIARy ha$ to u$e now, the fewer that $he ha$ for the general election.
Bernie Sanders is expected to beat Hillary Clinton in the Wisconsin Democratic primary Tuesday, but the only thing that matters is the margin. Without a decisive victory, the outcome will do little to change the trajectory of the race. If he loses, on the other hand, Sanders' already sketchy path to the nomination could vanish entirely.
But recent polls have shown Sanders ahead by, at most, about five percentage points. Sanders said Monday night he expects the race to be "very close."
Democrats award delegates proportionally, so Sanders will need to win big to make a dent in Clinton's 255 pledged delegates lead. That's especially true in Wisconsin, thanks to the way the system uses congressional district to allot Tuesday's haul.
Also, caucuses shouldn't be allowed, elections only. Caucuses demand a lot of time and trouble, and so only the most diehard activists--generally the most extreme of a group--participate in them, presenting a candidate far to the left of the regular members of the party, who'd just as soon go and vote, and get home in time for supper.
Wow FOX has already called it for the commie.
Wee Willy Pitt showed up to gloat, I thought DU was dead to that gasbag. http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511655830

Heh.
The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire
We don't need no water, let that mother****er
‪#‎Bern‬
Onward.
On to the convention! :fuelfire:
Well, I'm not so sure why there's so many long grim faces on Skins's island this morning.The voters affirmed Walker's State Supreme Court appointment of Judge Bradley by electing her to a full 10 year term. This is big because the Walker hatred the left was counting on in future elections was not there last night.
On to the convention! :fuelfire:
Sanders aide: Don't destroy Dem party to satisfy Clinton's 'ambitions'
A top aide to Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders warned late Tuesday that rival Hillary Clinton is running a divisive campaign that is hurting party unity.
"Don't destroy the Democratic Party to satisfy the secretary's ambitions to become president of the United States," Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver told CNN.
"We want to have a party at the end of this that we can unify," he added.....
Why Sanders keeps winning but may not be Democratic nominee.....Sanders is far behind Hillary Clinton in the race for delegates that will decide the nomination. He'll need 68 percent of those remaining to win. Even after his recent run of success, Sanders is nowhere near that pace......
