PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Hillary Clinton added at least three more states to her victory column Tuesday night, strengthening what's rapidly becoming an all-but-unstoppable march to the Democratic presidential nomination.
The Democratic front-runner expanded her sizable delegate lead with wins in Maryland, Pennsylvania and Delaware. But Bernie Sanders stopped her from sweeping the night with a win in Rhode Island. The primary in Connecticut remained too close to call.
Already, Clinton can lose every remaining primary by a wide margin and still capture her party's nomination, according to an Associated Press analysis. Her wins Tuesday put her fewer than 300 delegates away from clinching the Democratic nomination. She can reach that goal by winning just 21 percent of the remaining delegates and uncommitted superdelegates.

..WE. ALL. DID.
Yourself included.
You just haven't figured it out yet.
I'm not going to give them the pleasure of histrionics, but I hope they remember this moment. The moment that the future could have changed, but didn't.
