Sanders: Wisconsin loss would be ‘devastating,’ kill momentum

Published



A Tuesday victory in Wisconsin in sight, Sen. Bernie Sanders is doing everything he can to get supporters to the polls, even warning that a loss would kill his momentum going into delegate rich New York on April 19, the anniversary of the American Revolution in 1775.

His campaign manager late Sunday issued an email plea, listing Sanders’ recent string of success and adding, “If we win Wisconsin on Tuesday, we’ll have the momentum we need to win New York State and absolutely astound the political establishment. But as good as a win in Wisconsin would be, it would be more devastating to fall just short.”
