No, I voted Jill Stein and will campaign for her in Florida if Hillary is the nominee. A candidate that actually cares about the people and is beholden to no one but the people, not corrupt puppets beholden to their big money financial overlords who laugh at the stupidity of the voters.

110 million on welfare. You are truly something else.

Nope. It's a small margin but a win for Hillary. Don't pretend for a second that if the margin were reversed that Bernie wouldn't be declaring it a major victory. And delegates tying is in fact a Hillary win because she doesn't need to try to close a gap. The math just got even more impossible for Bernie than it was before today.

As for delegates, Politico is calling it as 27 for Hillary, 25 for Bernie and 1 uncommitted, so we'll just have to wait to see how that shakes out in the next few days. There are 55 total pledged delegates.

Which is a big loss for Hillary. Kentucky was another state she won big in 2008.

Technically Trump hasn't wrapped up the nomination but the election was a non story. Hillary's camp claims the election is settled but obviously it isn't. If the election had been opened to independents she would have lost badly.

She can't win without them.

Yup, Hillary cant win without huge numbers of Sanders supporters getting on board but Hillary and her supporters are doing everything they can to alienate as many Bernie supporters as they can. Its like they are campaigning actively for Trump.

There are millions of voters who did not vote in the primaries who WILL nonetheless vote Hillary in November. It doesn't really matter that a bunch of disgruntled crybabies claim they won't vote for her. And besides, all this crap talk about Bernie's "momentum" and independents voting for him, AND YET he still has 3 million fewer votes than Hillary.

99% reporting · Clinton has 25 delegates, Sanders has 25. L9oks like Hillary won 2,000 more votes, but tie in delegates. Not bad for Bernie in a closed Primary.

Hillary can win without Sanders supporters, minorities will VOTE in record numbers, Sanders supporters VOTES aren't needed! DON"T believe the hype! Everyone VOTES in the General Election!

Of course it matters, and general election polls show it as well. She is getting beaten BADLY by independents while Sanders on the other hand is crushing it among independents in general election polls. Those "3 million votes" is a meaningless metric when lots of states dont even vote, they caucus.

Thats ridiculous. She needs them BADLY. Besides, minorities under 36 prefer Sanders, not Hillary.

I'm so glad that Bernie is doing well. He deserves it!
