WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on the presidential campaign, with the focus Saturday on the delegate hunt for Republicans in Colorado and Democrats in Wyoming, while several candidates campaign in New York, which holds its primary April 19.
Bernie Sanders’ win in Wyoming isn’t yielding much in delegates.
With just 14 delegates, Wyoming has the fewest pledged delegates to offer among the 50 states.
Sanders prevailed in caucus voting Saturday, and has now won 16 states to Clinton’s 18.
He picked up at least seven delegates to Clinton’s six. One delegate remains to be allocated, pending the final vote tally.
That means little change to the overall delegate count, in which Clinton leads by a large margin.
To date, Clinton has 1,286 delegates based on primaries and caucuses to Sanders’ 1,037.
When including superdelegates, or party officials who can back any candidate, Clinton has amassed even more delegates, 1,755 compared to 1,068 for Sanders.
Sanders still needs to win 68 percent of the remaining delegates and uncommitted superdelegates if he hopes to take the Democratic nomination. It takes 2,383 to win.
Senator Bernie Sanders appears to have missed the Fivethirtyeight target for this state.
This looks much closer than expected – effectively a split delegate-wise? In this small caucus state demographically friendly to the Vermont Senator, his updated target was 11. Wonder how people there voted.
Sen Sanders continues his tilting.
As the windmills become more scarce.

I know Bernie will not get the nomination, it is the reality of the moment. I thought I could gag. vomit and manage a vote for Hillary but that has changed. The behavior of her supporters and surrogates and Hillary herself is just too fucked up and burns my ass with their elitist, privileged, know it all seepage from their mouths.
Now I will sit back and wait for a millennial to correct my spelling etc whilst providing some snark bullshit comment that they would never say to me face to face. Then I will see when I can stop my TPM payment and or get a refund so I can get back to something that is enjoyable,
No millennial here, and I’m not in the business of correcting spelling, though I’m tempted on occasion. Snark, on the other hand, I love. That said, I understand, truly, your visceral reaction to Hillary supporters because I feel the same way about the Bernie or Bust-ers, only my adjectives are different.
I find them self righteous, naive, and at times, dense. That they willfully ignore the fact that their man will have to work the system they despise so intensely to change it makes me nuts. It’s as if they believe that if he’s elected he’ll be issued a magic wand at the inauguration.
But that’s more than you wanted to hear, I’m sure. I just wanted to let you know that I feel your pain.
