Bernie should do great in NJ.

Just across the river from Bernie's hometown of Brooklyn. And now that the media has sabotaged Hillary by declaring her the victor, many of her supporters won't bother to vote, while Bernie's will be fired up in anger and more likely to go to the polls.

So I expect the Clinton camp to be bracing for an embarrassing defeat in NJ.

Remember, Hillary's firewall is stalwart Democrats, broken glass Democrats. Older people who've been around the block a couple of times. They will vote for her.
