1. The "progressive" candidate wins one of the least diverse and reddest states in the union...

... I'm willing to be called left but not progressive right now if this is what it means

[bvf]

6. Noted.

[uponit7771]

10. thx

[merrily]

12. If Hillary is your candidate, you are centrist or center right.

As far as "progressive," that word ceased to have any meaning when Al From decided on the name of the Progressive Policy Institute.

I haven't used it since I heard Hillary use it about her policies during the 2008 primary.

[Ash_F]

17. They also won the most diverse state in the union

Big tent!

[Cali_Democrat]

2. So now winning conservative red states is to be celebrated

Funny how Bernie and his supporters dismiss Hillary winning states like Souh Carolina, Georgia and Miss.

But when Bernie wins red states like Oklahoma and West Virginia, it's all good!

Too funny.

[Fawke Em]

9. Y'all swept the Deep South and told us we sucked.

Cut it out.

[merrily]

14. +1 Hypocrisy and double standards reek, as does the concomitant absence of consistent principles.nt

[msanthrope]

26. No....we swept and were told we had Stockholm Syndrome. nt

[merrily]

13. In addition to Reply 9, Hillary is purposefully raising money from Republicans and getting

endorsements, not from Republican voters, but from Republican PTB. While I have no problem with either of those things, I have a problem with your blatantly double standards. To quote Fawke 'Em, cut it out.

8. Thanks for that!

It'll be fun to tell people that in Mingo county, Sanders beat Farrell by more than 2-1.

"Clinton? Who?"

[pdsimdars]

33. But she TROUNCED Kieth Judd (whoever he is) That'll show him who's boss.

[pat_k]

41. Here he is:

Early life[edit]
Judd was born May 23, 1958, in Pasadena, California. He is married, and professes to be a Rasta-Christian.[2] He claims to have run in every United States presidential election since 1996 and for mayor of Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Governor of New Mexico.[3] He further claims to be a former member of the Federation of Super Heroes.[4] Judd has one child, born out of wedlock on September 3, 1990, a son named Marcus Miciah Robertson.[1]

Crime[edit]
In 1999 Judd was convicted of two counts of "mailing a threatening communication with intent to extort money or something of value"[5] and sentenced to 210 months (17½ years) in federal prison. The conviction has been falsely connected to litigation involving the University of New Mexico[6] which was a civil rights complaint he initiated.[7] His actual crime involved postcards that stated “Send the money back now, Keith Judd, Last Chance or Dead.” and a package containing a semen stained Playboy, a knife inside the magazine, a key chain, and his father’s military discharge papers. He also sent letters to jurors after his trial.[8] He has appealed his conviction no fewer than 36 times, but each appeal has been dismissed for various reasons.[9]
Judd was released in June 2013 on a supervised release program. In October, his probation office sought a warrant for his arrest for violating the terms of his supervision. He was sentenced to 12 months in prison, with another 24 months of supervised release. He has since been released a second time under supervision.

[pugetres]

4. I now live in WA state.

Didn't he win in all our counties, too?

If so. WOW. Just wow.

[Punkingal]

7. Yes, he did win every county in Washington state.

[JDPriestly]

5. Bernie is ascending; Hillary is descending.

When you think that Bernie had virtually no name recognition a year ago, what a change.

[DianaForRussFeingold]

11. Go Bernie Go!!!

[CobaltBlue]

15. 2016 Democratic Primaries—The truly liberal Ds, as had been wrongly assumed, are not in NY, MA.

18. This is without a doubt true for Massachusetts

Some of the fakest, most closet racist democrats I know.

[CobaltBlue]

19. BlindTriesias—The truer liberal primaries states, w/ Ds, carried for 2008 Obama and 2016 Bernie.

• EFFECTIVE 05.10.2016 •

• Alaska
• Colorado
• Hawaii
• Idaho
• Kansas
• Maine
• Minnesota
• Nebraska
• Utah
• Vermont
• Washington
• Wisconsin
• Wyoming

Credit to the additional states which did vote for a 2016 Bernie Sanders (so far):
• Indiana
• Michigan
• New Hampshire
• Oklahoma
• Rhode Island
• West Virginia

I look forward to more—with a good example being Oregon.

16. Beautiful! Bernie's going strong.

All the powers that be have tried to stop the movement, but they

can't

quite

do

it

[Fawke Em]

20. Thank Dog for that!

[COLGATE4]

30. Actually, they already have. Bernie will not be

the nominee. Math is your friend.

[senz]

35. I don't know why Hill supporters need to constantly put us down.

I honestly haven't been able find anything nice about you all. For months it's been like this. It must be awful to come from such a dark place.

I'll stick with Bernie.

[COLGATE4]

39. I don't think they would if you didn't keep posting inanities like

"almost there", etc. which fly in the face of the facts.

[silvershadow]

21. Thank you for the update! nt

[AzDar]

22. Go, Bernie... GO!!

[Bohunk68]

23. Here, in NY, he took the state with the exceptions of the City and

LawnGuyLand, plus Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse. He took the rest of the state. In my county of Schoharie, near Albany, he got 63.63% of the vote. AMAZING. I was at DMV yesterday and the woman behind the counter and I got started on Bernie, who she and her daughter are voting for. They are also doing a write-in come November. NY is a Blue state, so let NYC carry her, we will no longer vote for the lesser of two evils. Done with that.

[dana_b]

24. Fantastic!!

Momentum!!! Keep it going!!

I can't wait for our turn. 😀

[Arneoker]

25. It's funny how some are so proud of the fact

That they refuse to lend their support to moving the political situation toward at least some progress when that might make them a bit uncomfortable.

But, it's my damn vote, you say! Of course it is, and you can vote anyway you want. And it's my right not to respect your rationale that you so boldly offer.

[Punkingal]

31. What are you talking about?

[annavictorious]

27. Great win

but not enough of a delegate difference to matter.

We went through this in 2008. The "miracle path" scenario has him needing at least 19 delegates.

[Arneoker]

28. Momentum

So beloved by the hopeful and the lazy MSM. How often does momentum get derailed? How many times have both Bernie and Hillary seen momentum blow up in their face? Quite often, as it turns out.

So we'll see how the hope of winning California and getting the super-delegates to overturn Hillary's lead in pledged delegates (obtained from states where people actually voted at the polls) goes.

[amborin]

32. to the convention and the nomination!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[EndElectoral]

34. K&R

Just curious what is the lowest pledged delegate total of a Democratic primary at an uncontested convention. This may be it.

[senz]

36. If you truly felt good about your candidate

you probably wouldn't be saying things like that.

[DrDan]

37. congratulations on the big win . . . how many net delegates?

[jzodda]

38. He could win every single vote in RED West Virgina. So what?

Did Obama carry this state in 2012 general? no.

Is it listed as a solid red state, not a swing state? Yes

Exit polls have 27% of them going to TRUMP in the general. So republicans voted in this primary to give a win to Bernie.

[Punkingal]

40. Bullshit.

[Punkingal]

43. The same could be said about Hillary and SC, MS, GA, etc. etc. etc.

It has been, in fact, and Hillary supporters go nuts when it is said.

[bvar22]

42. ...but Bernie needs to withdraw so that Hillary.....ummmm....what was the reason?

Somebody please explain that to me again.
It didn't make any sense the first time I heard it,
and even less now.

So please Hillarysplain it to me again.
