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.

And that is mostly Blacks and Latinos over 40. The younger ones are staying home, and the ones who are voting are voting for Bernie for the most part.
By design. The Democrat voters are scammed every 4 years and most don't have a clue. And if the illegals are given instant citizenship, the real fundamental transformation will happen in the Dem party.
Your picture is of Bernie’s last Harrah. He must have had running for the Presidency on his bucket list.
The deeper the humiliation for her, the better.
I agree that the establishment = globalist; nationalist = sovereignty and non establishent. Establishment wants us multiculturalized so that they can take our sovereignty, keep us divided, keep us poor and in debt as a nation, and themselves as corrupt oligarchs.
I’m interested in the actual number of people who voted for Sanders and Hillary.
I would expect a lot of reds and socialists in Washington State (Seattle, esp.), the Hawaii (Honolulu, an old Communist Party bastion of political power in the 1940’s), but Alaska?
must be a bunch of rich millenials in Anchorage and the University who voted for these red aholes because no working person of sound mind would vote for them.
If you total up the number of votes for both Hillary and Bernie in their primaries, it will give you an initial figure of just how many communists/Marxists/socialists/progressives and liberal assholes we have in America. Then count in more who didn’t vote in the primaries.
That is the “internal fifth column threat to America”.
A lot of millennials are single-issue voters on Sanders’ proposal to make college free or possible forgive loans.
They see it as unfair that a degree seems mandatory to get a job these days; yet, the jobs are not there any more commensurate with the levels of debt they must take on.
Hahahaha...
When Bernie supporters whine just tell them Hillary needed them more than he did.
Due to the stress and demands of the job, it is hard to imagine him being more than a 1 term-er—if he even makes it that long. I don’t wish bad on the guy—he is the only honest one running. To bad he is a socialist.
First of all, if Trump wins, fine. The fact that he is winning is not relevant - the rules are (and always have been) that he has to get 1237 or the convention selection process becomes wide open. My initial comment was that if Trump can't deal with the Republican convention, how is he going to make great deals with countries that don't like us or anyone else? Please answer that question.
Second, I am not one of "you Cruz supporters." But then, if you can't put me into a box, you don't know which insults to throw. I agree with you that Cruz has limited experience and doesn't work well with the other members of the Senate (one can oppose, but not offend - something Trump doesn't understand, either). But I don't like Trump, either. He is shallow, thin-skinned and would be terrible in a general election (he doesn't even get over 50% in a Republican primary, much less among the general electorate. I do like Kasich personally (I live in Ohio and he has been a fairly good governor), but I don't want him as president - he is wrong on immigration and a couple of other topics. On the other hand, he has actually balanced the Federal budget, something neither Cruz nor Trump has shown they know how to do. In short, at this point I don't like any of them and am an ABC voter.
Maybe you should stop being a Trump-bot and go back to being a conservative who happens to supports Trump. Trump is not the next Ronald Reagan. Trump is a conservative the same way Romney was a conservative - he converted at the last minute in an effort to be president.
You asked what major accomplishment Cruz had in the last 3 years. What major accomplishment has Trump had in the last 3 years (in terms of aiding the country or conservatism)? Is there any evidence that he even donated money to any conservative cause?
On top of that, I am the spelling police - the words in paragraph 3 of your original post should be dimensional not dementional, stakes not steaks and amount not ammount.
Meaningless numbers: the American people like Mrs. Bill.
I agree with everything you wrote, except that I’ve seen a lot of dementional posts around here. :-)
What a loaded headline!
Sanders “seizes” three states. As if he did something wrong.
But Hildebitch would have ‘won them’ fair and square.
Man, I hate the liberal media.
That’s scary as that kind of thing would indicate a blessing.
President Sanders.

Back in 2008 I was working with a real punk Ahole recent grad of an expensive private school who supported Obama for the same reason. I wonder how that worked out for him?
Ah, 2008, when I was still working. Sigh...
Since the spelling police are out in force, I was wondering if you could answer a question for me. Okay, it’s not a spelling error. Perhaps it should be filed under “gaffe” instead.
When did John Kasich balance the Federal budget?
The fact Trump is winning is VERY relevant.
The GOP Establishment, who you obviously love, is openly trying to VOID THE VOTES of the WILL of the Republican voter. You are openly attempting to steal the Primary because your lose candidate can’t win at the ballot box with the voters.
I don’t understand how you think by giving it to someone that lost in the Primaries is going to translate to a win in November? When you divide the party, because you take out the top candidate, then you will suicide the party and give victory to Hillary and the Democrats.
The Establishment is mad because no one believes them or the Establishment media anymore. So now they want to VOID VOTES and the WILL of the Republican voters.
I don’t understand how that translates into a Republican Victory in 2016. That is a 100% way to LOSE an election.
Kasich is a Globalist with an “R” by his name. I guess you believe in Climate Change, Common Core, open borders, gun control laws, you want to deploy U.S. Troops in Syria and Ukraine and continue with rigged trade deals that are destroying this country?
Kasich was in congress and you say this 1 congressman of 535 Representatives “balanced the budget”. LOL! Yeah and that’s why we have 19 Trillion in debt because Kasich balanced the budget. All Kasich did was vote for a bill that promised to start balancing their budget within a decade. You need to quit parroting what you hear in the media. They are totally brainwashing you and you are believing hook, line and sinker every time.
I think it’s funny how think doing the same thing over and over again, voting for Kasich, is going to save our country. That’s called insanity!
