What @EricaSmegs and @HillaryClinton have showed us is that guns are no longer the third rail of American politics. The game has changed.

After tonight's wins for Clinton, Sanders would need 107% of remaining delegates at stake in order to win the nomination.

1. "...guns are no longer the third rail of American politics"

[azurnoir]

13. They were when she was speaking in rural PA

then she was all about the 2nd amendment-but hey whatever gets a vote right?

[lancer78]

17. Lets see her

bring her rhetoric for suing gun-makers for the illegal use of their product in the GE to the states of Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Nevada, and Oregon and see how well it works out for her.

[Lucinda]

19. The majority of this country is in favor of sensible guns law additions, while protecting

the rights of law abiding gun owners. It's only political cowards who quibble about this in 2016.

[lancer78]

20. Sorry

No-one outside of the hardcore left believes that a company should be sued out of existence for the illegal use of their product.

[Lucinda]

21. No one is saying that should happen. What people are saying is that manufacturers have a

responsibility for the safety of their products. And the laws Hillary are calling for, cover much more than the manufacturer liability issue. Perhaps a little research on your part is in order...

[lancer78]

23. Their products are very safe

The deaths/injuries like misfires attributed due to defects of the gun itself are extremely small.

[nolawarlock]

22. But I thought Bernie was the hardcore left this season ...

... and he's not as strongly anti-gun as Hillary.

I actually agree more with Bernie on guns. Frankly, I'm probably less anti-gun even than Bernie. That being said, it does amuse me how many of his hard-left supporters have softened their stance on guns due to their support of him. Can't they just say that they agree with him on all but that issue?

[lancer78]

24. Not on the issue of gun control

when Hillary saw an opening on his left over being able to sue manufacturers for the improper use of a legal product.

[nolawarlock]

26. Well I get that. I just think it's funny is all. nt

[Joe the Revelator]

2. Which is all that ever really mattered, right? Having a woman in the whitehouse?

Ideas and principles mean nothing, right?

[Carolina]

14. The wrong woman

[Hortensis]

39. Nope. But it's still a major win for women,

including those who so peculiarly also dislike powerful women, and it is a major loss for those men in all parties, even the Democratic Party, who would dislike any female candidate for president because she was female.

Joe, most won't admit it to themselves, always preferring to claim many other reasons, but there are millions of these anti- males and no doubt every one of them is unhappy about now. Good. They deserve it. Then they can get over it or not, their choice.

[Purveyor]

3. She'll be our nominee, I'll give you that... eom

[BreakfastClub]

4. YAY! I can't wait. This has been a looooong time coming, and I'm thrilled that it's

the democratic party that is (hopefully) putting a woman in the WH. For years I worried that the republicans would beat us to it, and would elect a GOP woman first, which would be horrid.

By the way, my husband is also super excited about it and thinks Hillary is a transformational figure not only for women in this country, but for women and men here and all over the world. Feminist men are so sexy.

[riderinthestorm]

5. We're fucked on climate change now

Happy?

You own this going forward

[BreakfastClub]

6. Your guy lost. Yes, it sucks for you. It hurts. You'll get over it. Good luck. nt

[riderinthestorm]

7. No frankly it doesn't suck for me.

I've done my homework and I'm as well positioned to survive as I can be when the inevitable catastrophes snowball. The Great Lakes region and especially those of us here with untainted wells/aquifers are best situated although most models are estimates at best.

My concern extends beyond our borders and encompasses all of our fellow human kind.

You own the coming disasters and the real misery ahead. This is way beyond partisan politics. Your nonchalance is as damning as climate change deniers.

But yeah, carry on. Par-tay. Fiddle on as the Titanic sinks. Your "empathy" is noted.

[Carolina]

18. Heartily agree

I will be fine, but I worry about the world being bequeathed to our children, grandchildren, fellow humans and living creatures around the globe. Turd Way, MIC loving corporatism spells more death, debt, destruction and destabilization.

We are Rome fast approaching 79 AD

[lancer78]

25. And Bernie would have done what?

The President has no power to pass laws. In this area, the Speaker of the House (since he can determine what bills are bought to the floor) has FAR more power then any President could hope to have. People get strong, personal feelings for their President, but the President is not a King or Dictator. There really isn't much he can do if congress is dead set to block him (Look at Obama).

[Carolina]

31. For starters

Bernie is not a war hawk or owned by the likes of Goldman-Sacks (spelling intended).

He wanted to spend the trillions wasted on war and regime change on infrastructure, education and healthcare! He wanted to reinstate Glass-Steagall so there would be no more too big to fails...

And based on your logic, what will HRC accomplish. It'll be Billary 2.0 with repuke loathing and opposition and scandals on steroids. The only things that will get passed are things that Turd Wayers and repukes both love: more war and more corporatization.

[lancer78]

32. Congress would have to pass budgets

moving the money from the MIC to infrastructure, education and healthcare. This board has become a hate-filled cesspool over 2 candidates who at the end of the day, if nothing changes in congress, won't be able to do jack, so why is everyone getting upset.

The Democratic party needs to prioritize control of state and federal legislative chambers then figureheads.

[Carolina]

34. Not hate, truth

The cesspool is the Clinton Foundation, Super PACs and a corporate owned/corporate beholden candidate

[lancer78]

38. But is it wise

to become so angry at each other over 2 people, who if elected to office, won't be able to really do anything?

[Carolina]

42. Not angry... disappointed

by so much willful blindness, desire to see a women (the wrong one) POTUS, and failure to recognize an awful record of supporting war and corporate hegemony.

I will be fine. I am old and have resources... But what of the next generations here and around the globe?

[Stuckinthebush]

11. Jesus

Dumb.

[Carolina]

15. Were generally fucked

More war/regime change
More corporatization of everything
More devastation for the middle class
More of everything bad, but hey... at least 'we' put a woman in power

[sheshe2]

8. Ha!

Look at her! She carries her own umbrella too.



Go Hill~

PS. Awesome image. Thanks rivers.

[qdouble]

9. Hillary!

So excited. I'm a black male and I liked her better than Obama. Glad she will win the house this time

[Norrin Radd]

10. Yay! Our very own

Thatcher.

[NewImproved Deal]

28. Or, Imelda Marcos...

[Chan790]

12. When did John Kasich become a woman?

Because...that's who the GOP nom is going to be...and he spanks Clinton head-to-head.

[lancer78]

29. No way

Kasich is toast. After tonight, Trump should get to 1237.

[oasis]

16. I'm With Her.

27. K&R

[Maru Kitteh]

30. Beautiful photo. Just lovely. Madame President.

I like it.

33. Brilliant OP, rivers.. Thank you!

[Hekate]

35. Kick!

[Eric J in MN]

36. Margaret Thatcher made the UK worse for most women and men. NT

[auntpurl]

37. It saddens me that there is no proper celebration of this history-making event

on DU. To see a Democratic woman elected to the highest office in the land is extraordinary. I'm just waiting for her swearing-in. Can't wait!

[grossproffit]

41. It makes me sick.

[Vinca]

43. It makes me even sicker.
