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.

Felt the Bern
Hillary’s main problem going forward is apart from VA, she won’t win a single Southern state in November. And she isn’t terribly popular with millenial younger voters in states with predominantly white electorates that are must-win in the fall. Plus, in a year of change, she is the establishment candidate.
Hillary faces a steep task of uniting a divided and unenthusiastic Democratic Party around her, something overlooked in all the talk about whether GOP rival Donald Trump can avoid a contested convention. The fact remains that a lot of Democrats simply don’t want her as their party’s nominee and her springtime losses at the hands of The Bern drive it home.
By all accounts, its not yet springtime for Hillary.
The 2016 campaigns have turned into a dumpster fire...
LOL! Another Dem voter looking for a handout.
To become a Democratic party presidential nominee, Clinton or Sanders need at least 2,383 of the total 4,763 delegates, including 712 super delegates who are party office bearers and are not elected as part of the presidential primaries. Super delegates are independent and are free to vote to any of the candidates.
When Hillary steals the nomination from Bernie there maybe and opportunity for the Republican nominee to get some Bernieacs on-board.
That will never happen.
The Bernie voters will not vote for Hillary when she super delegates the vote and she will feel the Bern because they will stay home or vote Trump.
This country will eventually collapse if the above happens and the Globalist will win.
Since a Republican or Democrat is going to win, why do you even bother getting out of bed in the morning? And if your answer is Trump, why do you even bother posting here? Even if Trump wins the Presidency, he will have to cut deals with the Republicans and Democrats in Congress to get anything done.
I know, he will make "great" deals - but he is already complaining that the Republicans may try to "steal" the nomination from him. Well, if he can't work that deal, how is he going to work any other deal, with China, Japan, Mexico, McConnell, Ryan, Schumer, Pelosi, etc.?
Vote do not count. Delegates count.
The Democrat primaries are stacked for their establishment approved candidate.
Republicans are working feverishly to change the rules in order to accomplish the same thing.
Fun to watch
But sad to see the Republic die in such a sordid manner.
Interesting. It's like a mirror image process occurring on the Left and the Right. In both cases, the voters hate their establishment/party picks. And in both cases, the establishment is trying to ram thru their candidate by hook or crook.
We don't have a Republic or a Democracy. We have an oligarchy. They give us a ‘choice’, sort of.. Like going to a restaurant where there are only two things on the menu, and you get to choose which one is likely to make you less sick.
And the public thinks the GOPe has a problem with candidates, the demodummies have two of the worse candidates that could ever climb on stage.
“.....the establishment is trying to ram thru their candidate by hook or crook.”........
If you a speaking of demodummies, you have hit the nail squarely on the head, particularly the “crook” part.
That really really is one screwed up system.
A complete rejection by voters of current political categories - Republican, Democrat, liberal, moderate, conservative. By 2018, the two major parties, if they still exist, will look very different. What that change will be is not clear yet.
It’s rigged: she can lose many more primaries and still win on November 8.
Things aren’t lining up very well for Hillary. She’s winning only because black and Latino drones especially in the Deep South are voting in lockstep for her. But those vptes aren’t in play in the general election and they’re concentrated in states that are not in play. Meanwhile, Trump’s base is the white working class, which is very much in play and very concentrated in swing states.
Sanders didn’t win.
Hillary lost.
This is the best year I’ve had since I was a kid!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Without a doubt, many of these are future Trump voters if he gets the nomination. They are white, anti-establishment, anti-interventionist and anti-globalist trade deals. If they are not eaten up with socialism or global-warmism they won’t be natural Hillary voters.
I do not, however, see them moving to any other Republican nominee . . . at least not Cruz or any other neocon.
