Bernie needs to run up the score in Wisconsin

After that (and Wyoming), the slate gets very bad for Bernie. He really needs a resounding victory in Wisconsin to solidify his momentum or change the game at all. I'm talking like a 60-40 win. I have always thought he would win, something like 55-45. The latest poll however has Clinton up 6 and he has only led in one poll by 1 point.

I still think he wins Wisconsin, but only by a point or two, not the resounding defeat he needs.

If he just skates by, the conversation will be about the 57% of delegates he needs

If he wins by 20 points, it will be about how he is doing what he needs to do to keep this race alive.

Obviously winning is better than losing though.
