Not good news for left-wingy neocons.
And two words sum up the messy fight between the war lobby candidate Hillary and anti-war dems choice Sanders - contested convention.

Bernie Sanders scored a meaningful victory Tuesday in Indiana’s primary, narrowly defeating Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton in an election dynamic defined by the loss of manufacturing jobs in the state.
While Sanders bested Clinton, her wide delegate lead indicates she is still the favorite to win the Democratic nomination. But Sanders remained defiant Tuesday and told supporters the win in Indiana helped him gain "the momentum that we need to take us to the finish line."
In Indiana, Sanders faced a critical challenge where he needed to muster enough Hoosier support to justify continuing his campaign through to the Democratic National Convention.

It is not just about dels at this stage - it's also about how unfairly Sanders has been treated by Dem establishment.
