Puerto Ricans frustrated by the island’s economic crisis voted Sunday in the U.S. territory’s Democratic presidential primary and local elections, as front-runner Hillary Clinton drew closer to securing the number of delegates needed to win her party’s White House nomination.

After a blowout victory Saturday in the U.S. Virgin Islands, Clinton was just 60 delegates short of the 2,383 needed to win the Democratic nomination and advance to the November general election, according to an Associated Press count.

Even if he wins both CA and PR Hillary will still get the nomination. It doesn’t matter because the fix is in.

If by "fix" you means Clinton has received over three millions more votes than crazy socialist Sanders, then yeah.

Clinton: 12,989,134 votes
Sanders: 9,957,889 votes

I doubt it. He has little to lose from staying in - even as a spoiler. He will last as long as “his” money does.

They are more apt to vote for Trump, just to spite Hillary.

One worries that she might have the vote-counting market cornered (a la Stalin), and that many folks won't even know that they voted for Mrs. Clinton.

Isn’t it ironic that bankrupt Puerto Rico may put Hillary over the top.

That pretty much sums up our political situation.

It doesn’t matter if he wins every last one. Hillary is an establishment lackey and will get the nomination.
