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.
Sanders is polling ahead in Illinois now. Florida is a place that Bernie can still grab a lot of delegates even if he doesn't win the state.

reditt's r/SandersForPresident has just entered activist mode:

If any Bernie supporters here are in one of the states or have nationwide calling, you could get on the phonebank and contribute to getting people out voting.

A lot of people think Hilary will win so its pointless to vote, but even if Hilary wins, winning by 2 delegates vs. winning by 20 delegates makes a big difference (speaking of wars of attrition). The purpose of the call bank is to get supporters out that support Bernie but don't realize how much their vote actually counts right now.
