He won Vermont and New Hampshire as well. I think it might be a weak argument to constantly blame other people for you losing though. If Rubio was a strong candidate neither Crus of Kascish being in the race would matter. It shows that a lot of people are still not anymore sold on him than they are on Trump.

Huh? It's 79% and Cruz's lead is growing, not shrinking.

While he's not quite out of it, statistically Bernie is now a major long-shot. As in his chances are between unlikely and highly implausible. So buck up Bernie supporters. I know you don't like Hilary, but she'd be a much better POTUS than any of the remaining viable Republicans (Dumpf, er, I mean Trump seems to be the only one left).

So, Bernie supporters, don't be crybabies and sit out the election just because he didn't make it. Remember, the next POTUS will likely appoint two Supreme Court justices. I'd much rather it be Hilary than Dumpf.

The Dem primary is corrupt and rigged for clinton since the start. Bernie should run independent in November.

4 win's for Bernie, 7 for Clinton. Clinton does big up a significant delegate advantage with her margins in Alabama, Georgia, Virginia and Texas. Looks like Sanders will shut out Clinton from any delegates in Vermont, though only 16 at stake. MA was the closest, and right now it looks like Clinton will only get one more delegate than than Sanders and actually possible that Sanders will get one more delegate than her in MA when its all set and done (not likely, but is possible)

Clinton is clearly still the frontrunner and this was a big night for her, but this isn't over.

Agreed-far from it. Bernie has enough money to last at least to the Convention as has stated his intention to do so. I plan on donating tomorrow.

I'm glad Rubio won 1 state. It is enough to keep him hopeful without being a real threat. As long as he stays in the race, he keeps splitting the anti Trump vote with Cruz.

I really don't like Cruz. The main reason is his religious fanaticism, but on a less substantive note, I don't want to watch him on TV for the next 4 years. His whole look, speech, and demeanor rubs me the wrong way. Those pointed, wide set ears, pointy nose, nasally voice remind me of a troll or some other kind of creature from Lord Of The Rings.

This is not a "race" by any stretch of the imagination. Two of Bernie's wins were caucuses and another was his home state. The only other state he was able to win was Oklahoma of all places. How anyone can look at all of that and think that he deserves the nomination, especially over Clinton, is just absurd.

There never was a race. The media hyped this whole thing up just to have a worthwhile story on the Democratic side to report on.
