I understand the Bernie supporters went ballistic on Twitter. Apparently they do not understand how reporting works. I wonder why 5,700 people voted for O'Malley.

Hillary is weak....200 million dollars spent, the DNC on her side and the media protecting her and she keeps losing to a 74 year old socialist.

It seems Kentucky is essentially a tie (narrow Clinton win, equal delegate split) and Sanders will win Oregon by about 6 pts, meaning he'll only net about 5 delegates. In other words, terrible night for Sanders. Netting a handful of delegates does nothing for him. Nada.

Why? Hillary was doing even better "at this stage of the primary" in 2008.

IMO, primaries shouldn't have a beginning, middle and end. No state should hold more weight just because the vote is in Feb or in June.

You would think based on the speech he gave tonight that it was a much different story. As much as I hate Clinton, I think it is ridiculous for Sanders to tell his voters that they can still win at this point. On the other hand, it's fine with me if it means lots of Sanders supporters revolting at the convention.

She's leading the old coot by more than 3 million votes and has spent less per vote than he has. She didn't use one bit of dirt she has on him to win the nomination. Uh-huh, she's weak all right.

Tell us about this recent dirt about Sanders please. Sanders has ran a very clean campaign and you even said you would vote Republican if Sanders was the nominee so you are clearly way out there in terms of rabid anti-Sanders rhetoric. Hillary supporters tried to scare people with what would happen if the Kenyan, muslim socialist was nominated as well.

She is clearly weak when she cant even rally the party around her at this stage with her big lead over Sanders and every big business media calling her the winner and the dem nominee for more than a month now.

Exactly. Jeff Weaver was asked a few nights ago by Chris Matthews when Hillary has ever run a negative ad against Bernie or attacked his character and Weaver couldn't give him a straight answer.

They were only looking at the numbers. By the way, every time you say she's weak, are you saying Obama was a weak candidate in 2008 when Hillary got 18 million votes and won most of the final contests?

Every sane person knows that this is what surrogates are for. The "correct the record" Clinton Super PAC is run by a vile, sexist and disgusting human being.
