The results of W.VA are not surprising, really.

[question everything]

More than 90% of the residents of W.VA are white, and as has been shown

Sanders win the white majority states and lose the more diverse one. This is why in 2008 Clinton won in 2008 and Obama lost.

1. As Hillary was winning state after state in 2008...

she lost the primary.

Between April 22nd through June 3rd, she won 6 out of 9 primaries.

Didn't change a thing.

3. She even won the majority of votes. BS can't even say that. eom

2. Wow,...

...Back Bench Bernie gained a WHOLE 5 delegates. I guess that THAT (and the BIRD, of course) is going tocSWEEP him to the nomination!

PEACE!

4. Demographics

If there's one thing this primary is teaching me, it's that you never, ever bet against demographics and the type of contest.

The demographics said Sanders +15, and that's about what it looks like.

Oregon has even less in the way of minority voters, but has a closed primary and very easy access to voting. So the first point is a negative for Clinton, the last two a positive.

I still don't expect her to win (regardless of any polls as posted), but I don't expect her to lose horribly, and certainly nothing like Washington state.

Kentucky is far rosier territory for her.

5. Green papers have Sanders @ 19 total delegates, Hill @ 17.

And, yes, the supers do count.
