So now a win by a small margin is not a win?

LOL

Bernie needed 66%. He is more than 16 points off his target.

It's over.

Bernie lost Kentucky.



The only thing that's embarrassing is the pathetic Bernie campaign. It's fun watching you guys lose!!!

And I'm loving it.

Your endless claims of being bullied are a massive disservice to people who are actually bullied.

I am gloating, though. And I will continue! Can't wait for future Bernie losses!

It's so under your skin that Bernie lost this one that you're bubbling!

Gah! I love it! You're so annoyed by Bernie's utter FAIL in Kentucky!

Oh, it's delicious!

I'm disappointed in myself for continuing an exchange with you. If Bernie won, it would be great. Since he didn't, the sun will still come up. But my ego keeps me coming back here thinking I'm going to have a normal conversation with someone and I end up seeing the stuff you post. It's just disappointing. Have a good night

-He needed to win by 66 to 34. He lost. Not just "didn't make his margin", he didn't win at all.
-The "fractions of a point" is up to about 1% now
-The excuses, rationalizations and ridiculous justifications are "Berniefail"

It's different for us Bernie supporters because we don't get the same treatment from the DNC. And for the record, a percentage point win for Sanders wouldn't be that great for me either.

And Bernie needed 70+% of the vote to even pretend to remain a viable candidate?

the media is corrupt, every non-Bernie Democrat is a paid employee of some evil genius (pick one), the polls are rigged, the Party is in the bag for any (pick two) non-Bernie Dem, the primaries are fixed, the conventions are crooked, everyone is a liar, the videos are fake, the photos are false, eye-witnesses are stooges, the vote counts were doctored... how does a reasonable person respond to this kind of Bernie paranoia?

May 2016

After Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands (June 4-5) she will be down to about 50 delegates before June 7.

Hillary would need 50 out of about 800 delegates on June 7 to clinch. She will win by hundreds.

Bernie needs to quit. Now.

that she is squeaking by with only 2,000 more votes. She is following the great campaigns of McGovern, Mondale, and Coakley.

I thought it would be like West Virginia in terms of demographics and coal country being pissed at Hillary and her embrace of Obama. It was a squeaker but a win is a win.
