Activer le mode zenBen Kamisar (The Hill, 06/04/2016)
Bernie Sanders beat Hillary Clinton by more than 100,000 votes in Wisconsin's Democratic primary, securing his seventh win in eight contests and providing more momentum for his presidential campaign ahead of the New York primary.
But in terms of delegates, Sanders's success was more modest.
According to The Associated Press, Clinton will take 36 delegates compared with 47 for Sanders.

Self-inflicted wounds

On Wednesday night they turned out in the thousands to give their returning hero a welcome that would have soothed the bruises of even the most battered presidential candidate.
“First of all, it’s great to be home,” Trump said as the crowd of about 15,000 almost exclusively white supporters let out a roar that threatened to blow the roof off the former Grumman aerospace hangar they filled to bursting. “We love New York. We love New York. And we are all together going to make America great again.”
