1. Confederate state.

Doesn't count.
Virtual tie.

Does that sum it up? o.O

[pkdu]

3. You forgot "low information voters" nt

[Dr Hobbitstein]

5. Stockholm Syndrome. nt.

[pkdu]

9. and "voting against their own interests"...its called Bernie Bingo! nt

[SunSeeker]

34. LOL

[msanthrope]

7. Stockholm Syndrome in the Big Easy, baby. nt

[LiberalArkie]

13. That is the ideal place for it.

I would love to go there, but I have to go through all of Louisiana to get there. And I despise the rest of Louisiana.

[msanthrope]

14. Fly in, pet. nt

[LiberalArkie]

18. I have not flown since coming back from NYC and the United jet hit some turbulence and damn

nearly fell out of the sky. Nope. Too old for that kind of crap.

[msanthrope]

22. Train. Oh, right.

Shit, you driving, or you ain't going....

[LiberalArkie]

25. Yea, it is too close not to drive really. The bad thing about flying to NOLA is that it would be

commuter airline the whole way. Probably LR to Dallas and then Houston then NOLA. Who in their right mind would want to go through that hell.

[Bleacher Creature]

8. Bill Clinton shook someone's hand and stole the whole thing.

[Chicago1980]

17. Right...

Because Nebraska, which Bernie won is a blue state?

Nice that you like to discount other democratic voters because the don't vote your narrative.

[Dr Hobbitstein]

20. Lol!

Sarcasm doesn't translate well sometimes.

Pro-tip: I don't feel "the bern".

[Agnosticsherbet]

2. Congratulations.

[erlewyne]

4. Louisiana will not vote for Hillary in the GE.

They will vote GOP.

[Iliyah]

10. Neither will KS and NE for Bernie huh

[INdemo]

16. So then you recognize Bernie Sanders could be the nominee.Thank You for

your confidence

[Chicago1980]

23. There's a difference between could be and will be.

How about we get through all the primaries before people start chest thumping.

[INdemo]

29. Still,Thanks for your support in advance

[Chicago1980]

32. I've never discounted Senator Sanders or been against him.

I'm more open minded than some of the extreme left purist.

[Dr Hobbitstein]

11. There it is!

We can ALWAYS count on someone to shit in the cereal!

[iandhr]

12. Same for Sanders in Kansas and Nebraska.

But I am of the opinion that all wins matter.

[Chicago1980]

19. And Nebraska, which Bernie won will would be blue?

[chillfactor]

6. Good for Hillary...

Yeah!

[riversedge]

15. Congratulations to Hillary and her team

[Herman4747]

26. All of Hillary's friends have reason to celebrate!

[riversedge]

31. .....

[Herman4747]

37. Oh, how lovely!!

But given Hillary's established record of duplicity, can you trust her fully on this one?

[Chicago1980]

21. Nice how the Bernie people like to discount the southern states during primary season

because they didn't go Sanders and won't go blue in November.

Way to disenfranchise people who don't vote your candidate.

[turbinetree]

24. Yep....................... this is the state which has this problem......................

35. This was just a little bayou appetizer ...

wait until Tuesday when Michigan hops on the Hillary wagon!

We need a BIG car for all of these delegates pouring in.

[Laser102]

36. It also seems that Hillary will pull a larger delegate count from last nights elections.
