Oh my.

I'll be the first to point out that the neighbor of Nebraska, Wyoming, is a pretty nice state and well worth going to, looking around, and getting to know Wyomingians, but it is after all a pretty tiny state.....

**BREAKING** Bernie Sanders Projected To Win Wyoming Caucuses, Keeping Momentum Alive
 
Democratic voters in Wyoming have decided: Sen. Bernie Sanders has won the state's caucuses, according to The Associated Press. The victory over Hillary Clinton means the Vermont senator will take home the lion's share of the state's 14 pledged delegates. Wyoming, a deeply red state, isn't exactly up for grabs in the general election; most onlookers expect the state to vote Republican, no matter who the GOP ends up choosing as its nominee. But that didn't stop both Clinton and Sanders from setting up campaign offices and running television ads there.

And, even as headlines have showered attention on the delegate-rich primary in New York on April 19, Sanders himself visited Wyoming earlier this week, holding a rally at the University of Wyoming. Former President Bill Clinton campaigned on behalf of his wife in Cheyenne.

"I think when people get to see and hear a candidate or a former president first hand it really inspires them to understand the true meaning of an election," says Aimee Van Cleave, the executive director of the Wyoming Democratic Party.

It's the latest in a string of victories for Sanders in Western states that hold caucuses. He also won in Idaho, Utah, Colorado and Washington state.

2. it may be a 7-7 split on delegates. or, best case scenario for Sanders, 8-6
 
which is actually a disappointment.

A 2 delegate win in a caucus state is not what they were hoping for. 

And on it goes, but one gets the gist.

WillyT's not on the thread, as he's either "too busy" prancing around with Chippendale dancers, or more likely than that, making up a list of free stuff he expects to get from Methuselah, and checking it twice, to be sure he hasn't left anything off.

The geek travesty goes about harshing some mellows.
Mole?

I hope DU's Berniebots are enjoying this game with loaded dice. It's ironic, but The Bern's best chance of getting the nomination is Slick CHILLy being indicted in the scandals The Bern has denounced as partisan nothing-burgers. Or maybe BHO's "Justice" Department refusal to prosecute triggering mass resignations from the FBI.

The second (bolded) is much more likely.

The second (bolded) is much more likely.

My personal speculation is that BHO has been holding the "Sword of Damocles" ofwhat his "Justice" Department might do over Slick CHILLy's head to keep her in line, and she's been walking a tightrope between wanting to put some separation between herself and BHO's MALadministration and the consequences of getting too far out of BHO's line. It's pure speculation, but I think it fits BHO's and Slick CHILLy's characters and how things have been playing out in the investigation and Slick CHILLy's campaign.

The investigation is nearing its completion. I don't see much more possibilities for stonewalling, and I don't see possible outcomes other than indictment, refusal despite overwhelming evidence, or inexplicable delay into November (or beyond). I don't think inaction that protracted will play much better than the other two possibilities.

I think that the second is what will happen.  I also think that the PR nightmare that will result from said refusal will be larger than if she is indicted.
