1. Good call.

they'd drag this out for weeks if they could.

[puffy socks]

2. Yeah! Let's celebrate!

[Surya Gayatri]

4. Considering that Bernardo outspent her by more than 2 to 1 in time and money,

a very respectable showing!

[Feeling the Bern]

8. Considering she was supposed to be inevitable and she's barely beating someone no one

gave a chance. . .good luck in the general where independents also vote and most can't stand her.

[Surya Gayatri]

9. Thanks for your obviously sincere concern.

[Feeling the Bern]

13. Thank you for your passive "go fuck yourself" response to me

If you are not concerned that independents dislike and don't trust HRC at all, don't be shocked November 9th.

But, according to HRC and her shills and apologists, she doesn't need the following people to win:

1: 45% - 50% of the Democratic Party that voted for Sanders
2: Liberals, since she is actively courting Republican donors
3: Independents, since they don't vote in primaries

Oh well, alienating three large groups like that is a sure road to President The Donald.

[Surya Gayatri]

15. Why would I want you to do that? It could be very painful.

[Scootaloo]

20. Who's "Bernardo"?

[scscholar]

3. I hate it when the media....

"calls" races when the sun is still so high in the sky.

[Surya Gayatri]

5. The media has deferred to the KY Sec. of State, who announced on air

that HRC is the unofficial winner until some results have been verified.

[scscholar]

6. She said 0.4%

That can change greatly with recounts so we shouldn't believe her very early preliminary judgment.

[Surya Gayatri]

7. No official recount, according to CNN just now. Results will stand. HRC is winner.

[azurnoir]

11. by .4% right now the delegate count is even Hillary may end up with 1 more than Bernie

[Surya Gayatri]

12. To have any hope, Bernardo needed 67% of the delegates. Too bad.

[azurnoir]

14. but we're staying at least until CA

[Surya Gayatri]

16. Sure, why not?

[azurnoir]

10. The polls in Oregon were still open the hope is to influence that race

[Geronimoe]

17. Hillary out of desperation

declares 3rd virtual tie as another win; IA, MO, KY.

[Surya Gayatri]

18. And, Bernardo falls far short of the 67% of delegates he needed to have any hope.

[chwaliszewski]

21. Who the hell is Bernardo?

[Surya Gayatri]

24. The Italian iteration of St. Bernard, in honor of his

flight to the Vatican to meet with His Holiness, Pope Francis.

[chwaliszewski]

25. How respectful of you...

but I'll just stick with Bernie.

[DrBulldog]

19. She beat Obama by 250,000 in KY in 2008 - now a virtual tie. That's how weak she has become.

[Democat]

23. You sound deranged when you attack Democrats

Why don't you say Sanders is strong, rather than Clinton is weak? You sound like a right winger.

[libodem]

22. Huckleberry's fer Hillary

Shucky darn!
