Bernie Sanders scored three wins in Western caucus contests Saturday, giving a powerful psychological boost to his supporters but doing little to move him closer to securing the Democratic nomination.
While results in Washington, Alaska and Hawaii barely dented Hillary Clinton's significant delegate lead, Sanders' wins underscored her persistent vulnerabilities within her own party, particularly with young voters and liberal activists who have been inspired by her rival's unapologetically liberal message.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Sanders cast his performance as part of a Western comeback, saying he expects to close the delegate gap with Clinton as the contest moves to the more liberal northeastern states, including her home state of New York. He also said his campaign is increasing its outreach to superdelegates, the party insiders who can pick either candidate, and are overwhelmingly with Clinton.

Bernie's now on a 5 state winning streak.
ReplyDeleteBut the peoples votes do not matter. All of the delegates are still going to Clinton. Wake up people...
ReplyDeleteHilary is from Illinois, not New York. She only ran for the Senate from New York because it has very liberal resident qualifications to be eligible to run for office. Bobby Kennedy did the same thing back in the 1960s after JFK's death.
ReplyDelete735-Actually, they're not.
ReplyDeleteHillary will be your next president , so , like my mother used to say " suffer in silence".
ReplyDeleteCan you just imagine your Commander and Chief , I just can't wait for the military to go with Pink uniforms and water pistols for combat.
856-Hillary couldn't beat a one term senator in 2008, and hasn't been able to put away a zany socialist in 2016. The idea that she's awaiting a coronation is laughable. She'll lose. She's not Billy Boy.
ReplyDeleteCome on guys. YOu know better than this.
ReplyDeleteIt is not HILLARY that matters. It is her bosses. The people who want her to do their bidding in government. They spent millions on her. They are not going to give up now.
She will be POTUS.
