Senator Bernie Sanders routed Hillary Clinton in all three Democratic presidential contests on Saturday, infusing his underdog campaign with critical momentum and bolstering his argument that the race for the nomination is not a foregone conclusion.
Mr. Sanders found a welcome tableau in the largely white and liberal electorates of the Pacific Northwest, where just days after resoundingly beating Mrs. Clinton in Idaho he repeated the feat in the Washington caucuses, winning 73 percent of the vote. He did even better in Alaska, winning 82 percent of the vote, and in Hawaii, he had 71 percent with a few precincts still be counted, according to The Associated Press.
Washington, the largest prize Saturday with 101 delegates in play, was a vital state for Mr. Sanders, whose prospects of capturing the nomination dimmed after double-digit losses to Mrs. Clinton across the South and weak showings in delegate-rich Ohio, Florida and North Carolina this month. As of Saturday evening, Mrs. Clinton had roughly 280 more pledged delegates, who are awarded based on voting, and 440 more superdelegates — party leaders and elected officials — than Mr. Sanders.

A lot of ABC votes
Anybody
But
Clinton
Size 54 Hillary got smoked.
Nobody's talking about what the Democratic convention could be like. Their rules are so bad that it was rigged that hillary won before the primaries and caucuses even started.
Seriously. How can they justify going with a candidate who gets 25% of the vote in many states? The anger cuts across the political spectrum.
I don’t know if I’m the first person to say this but it looks to me like this campaign is taking it’s toll on Bernie.. he has been looking very frail lately(in the last few weeks) even his voice seems to have lost it’s energy.. he looks like he’s in his middle 80’s
Its my turn dam it!
So true. I have some fairly reasonable Progressive friends who are PI$$ED that even though Sanders gets the votes, magically Hillary gets delegates way out of proportion to the votes.
They despise Hillary.
The anger is strong in this election cycle.
Sanders won Hawaii with 70% of the vote but only got 1 delegate to Clinton’s 8. The 8 are super delegates
So much for the 'they'll vote for Hillary because she's a woman ' meme.
Exactly what SO many young Progressive voters are pi$$ed about.
sorry ... I was wrong .. just checked Bernie has 18 to Clinton’s 13, but the raw vote was 70-30
I don’t know if I’m the first person to say this but it looks to me like this campaign is taking it’s toll on Bernie.. he has been looking very frail lately(in the last few weeks) even his voice seems to have lost it’s energy.. he looks like he’s in his middle 80’s
And despite all that he’s giving her a run for her money
Bernie better watch out for the big one.
you are exactly correct,, that’s what makes it much more impressive no doubt
Chronological age versus biological age both look bad for the Bern.
Birds want to give Bernie a little gift for free
Yep, except this includes middle digits.
Oh but we are suppose to believe that Hillaty can beat Trump in a landslide. This is even though Trump has more than 2 million votes than his next competitor competitor. This is when Republicans have record numbers of people voting for Republican and Democrat votes are at record lows.
The best big whopper is that Kasich, the guy that only won his home state can defeat Hillary.
That like saying a high school football team can’t beat the college football team but it can win the Super Bowl against a professional football team. LOL! Yeah okay....
Kasich is a Democrat with an “R” by his name. He and Hillary agree with each other on immigration, trade, common core, climate change, Syria, Ukraine, etc.... I guess Kasich knew he had no chance if he ran on the Democrat ticket with Hillary? After all it’s Hillary’s turn.
If the Republican Party is dumb enough to have a brokered convention, then it will be Hillary/Sanders vs Ryan/Jeb. BARF ALERT in other words.
I’ll be voting for anyone but a Republican or a Democrat. Oh and for the record I will never vote for any Republican at any level ever again. They are a fake opposition party.
This country will eventually collapse if the above happens and the Globalist will win.
the socialists are going to go berserk when they realize Clinton takes the nomination no matter how many more states Bernie wins.
If the media thinks the protesters are bad at Trump rallies, wait until the Bernie folks start protesting a Hillary primary event and her union thugs show up
I hope the cops sit it out... because Black Lives Matter
