Tuesday Prediction time! They should have bookies for this stuff.
Hillary seems to have a lockdown on the southern states that views Sanders as too socialist, and both Florida and North Carolina have large black populations that have been heavily favoring Hillary so...
Florida: Hillary takes it easily
North Carolina: Hillary takes it easily
Illinois: Hillary takes it (She is leading in the polls, and I think the somewhat unfair association between Bernie and the supporters invading the Trump rally will hurt him among moderates, who are looking for a stable establishment candidate)
Ohio: Sanders takes it
(I think there is a strong chance that Sanders can pull off another Michigan here, as the two states are somewhat similar economically. If Sanders can't capture Ohio, or at least one of the big states on Tuesday, than things start to look grim, and I can only imagine the protests at the Trump rallies getting worse once the hard left starts to feel disenfranchised.
Missouri: is a weird state in that it seems half North and half South, theoretically it was considered below the Mason Dixon line, and was a slave state that fought for the union. No wonder there so is so much bad $hit going down in St. Louis. I think the states liberals will lean conservative so..
Hillary takes it.
I believe the key for Sanders is to play a war of attrition, stick it out and get bloodied long enough in the hopes that the FBI investigation against Hillary starts to get serious. If that happens, the momentum will shift.
