Earth to Ari: Pennsylvania was a CLOSED primary state. So your claim thgat, “independents, conservatives and Republicans may very well cross lines [in Indiana] in order to vote for her, as many did in Pennsylvania” makes no sense at all. In Pennsylvania only registered Democrats could vote in that state’s Dem primary. No Independents at all were permitted to vote. The opposite is true in Indiana, where everyone is permitted on the day to take whatever ballot appeals to them. It’s the difference between night and day. You’d think a political analyst would know this.
