This week we discuss the so-called Acela Primaries, where voting in the Northeastern States of Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Connecticut and Rhode Island pretty much confirmed what we have been saying for a while now: that this is shaking out to be a pretty convincing win for Hillary Clinton on the Democratic side and Donald Trump on the Republican side. So instead of beginning in earnest all the spec about what Trump v Clinton will be like, we take the opportunity to talk about a couple of the down-ticket races that are likely to be important, not just in who controls the Senate, but in terms of assessing the likelhood that Bernie Sanders can turn his Presidential campaign into an ongoing progressive movement.
