Sanders not a viable candidate in Virgin Islands

[SidDithers]

WASHINGTON - Hillary Clinton scored a sweeping win in the U.S. Virgin Islands on Saturday, picking up all seven pledged delegates at stake as she inched tantalizingly close to the Democratic nomination.

She is now just 60 delegates short of the 2,383 needed to advance to the November general election.

The party said Clinton won 84.2% of the vote, while Bernie Sanders earned 12.2%. Under Democratic National Committee rules, a candidate must win at least 15% of the vote to be eligible to receive delegates.

1. Ahh it's in the deeeeeep south

so it doesn't count for Bernie math.

Plus, black people live and vote there. We all know their votes are only worth 3/5 of a white voter from a small western caucus state.

Viva la revolution! La Luta continua! Power to the white male millennial people!

2. They're going with the "rich elitist" meme.

5. She cancelled out Bernie's West Virginia 'win'

All thoes GOP voters who voted for him must be so disappointed.

4. Glad to hear this...there were conflicting reports last night

This means she can clinch in Puerto Rico.

6. IDK, she'd need to sweep there as well. I still think it will be in NJ. nt

8. I hear that four out of five

10. Viability is done on a Congressional District basis ... in the VI, Sanders was viable in one,

but not the other. PLEO and "At-Large" delegates viability are done on a state wide basis.

Sanders actually got one Pledged Delegate in the Virgin Islands.

11. Yeah, I'm seeing that now, in some reports...

The Green Papers and 538 are both showing 6-1.

Thanks for the correction.
