1. Holy shizen

[GusBob]

2. Kick

[Skittles]

3. that is very respectable showing by Bernie

yes indeed

[NBachers]

5. Nobody can take that away from him, or everyone who worked so hard for his vision.

[liberal from boston]

11. Bernie Sanders

It is by no means over for Bernie: Missouri & Illinois were so close: Huffington Post link showing how many delegates that Sanders won: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/brian-hanley/bernie-sanders-wins-misso_b_9471488.html

34. Bernie is going to beat the points spread

Just watch.

[ucrdem]

4. 5 for 5 sweep.

Amazing night.

[Cha]

16. ..

ucr!

[ucrdem]

19. Hell of a night Cha!

[leftynyc]

33. Terrific night for Hillary

I did not expect her to sweep the states last night.

[pandr32]

44. Wow! She cinched the nomination last night!

There is no path left for Sanders. Hopefully he will knock off the obvious smears now and start acting like the Democrat he claims to be. We need to unite and handily beat Republicans, and all their dirty tricks in November. We all play a part!
Congratulations Sec. Clinton! Well done!

[William769]

6. And this is not the Dewy moment like the other one is!

[still_one]

7. Took the words right out of my mouth Bill

[William769]

8. ...

[Herman4747]

47. Guess who else is celebrating?

Ouch! That's got to sting! Stings real bad, doesn't it?

Deal with it.

Hey, it's not me backing the immoral candidate, is it now?

[William769]

56. If thats all you got, thats why the Sanders campaign is losing.

Oh and let's not forget about Sanders himself.

[Herman4747]

60. If that's all I got then, then there's no reason...

...to ban me from the Hillary Group, right?? But you did choose to do so, since you knew that my arguments and the arguments of people like me would utterly annihilate whatever the Hillary supporters come up with.

Better to hide your heads in the sand then confront your beloved's immorality, right?




Note: It may be best to scurry back to the Hillary Group, where you'll be safe.

[William769]

61. I'm safe right here, thank you very much.

And yes I am known for taking out the trash.

[2naSalit]

57. It would appear that it is you who cannot deal with...nt

[Freddie Stubbs]

69. Better him than the Castro brothers

[Herman4747]

71. Not really. n/t

[Agschmid]

9. Wow.

[Legends303]

12. So waiting.....

So the people that said that this was suppose to Sander's comeback moment and saying these were the Bernie states. Looks like he is more in trouble then we imagined and has a harder path to the nomination. I like him but he does not have much of a ground game.

[JDPriestly]

30. Bernie's states are yet to vote.

California has something like 546 delegates and we don't vote until June 7. I expect Bernie to pick up a lot of delegates here. Washington and Oregon also have not yet voted.

Bernie does not get the positive and free media coverage that Hillary gets.

Bernie has done fantastically well in 10 months.

His name is now well known as are his views.

No matter who is nominated, Bernie and his supporters will be a force to be reckoned with especially by the GOP.

He has already changed politics in this country like no one I remember in my pretty long life.

[pfitz59]

32. Bernie might win Washington

I'm voting for him. caucusing in less than 2 weeks

[snooper2]

42. I think he is running out of states

[Loki]

13. Missouri came through!

My state. I'm so proud. Now I can hopefully go to sleep.

[OwlinAZ]

29. Why?

We kick our children in the teeth.
The Clintons make more money and get to punish those who see them as really bad people.

[Loki]

39. Then ask my23 year old son

Why he changed from a Sanders Supporter to one who was not. People really do think things out whether you want them to or not. Losing is part of politics. We either learn to lick our wounds and deal with it positively, or we don't. Do you think that living with 8 years of a Bush administration was easy for us on this board? No, but we didn't give up and we worked hard to elect Barack Obama. Now we are going to see a first woman as president. Im sorry you can't find any joy in that, only feel sorry for yourself. This is politics. I'm from Missouri, "if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen." Look him up, his name was Harry S Truman.

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

45. I'll respond

1) Maybe your son changed his mind after you filled it full of "Bernie can't win, is unelectable" and all that bullshit. If that's the case at some point your kid is going to be very upset with you.

2) I would love to feel happy to have the first woman president, but not this particular woman. You fell for it. Good luck with your conscience a few years down the road.

[Loki]

49. You know Elmer,

I'm not that kind of parent, and it's presumptuous of you to think so. I taught my children to think for themselves, and he has always been a very astute observer of politics even when he was a little boy. You just don't like the fact that he changed his mind. I have a daughter that likes the Republican side, so did I fill also her mind with "bullshit"? Your remarks are rude, and shall I say typical.

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

51. So when he asked you what you thought about Bernie, and that he was going to vote for him....

What did you tell him? My remarks are rude? Ha! You Hillary "folk" should look in the mirror!

[Loki]

52. I didn't tell him anything Dump.

I didn't have to. I have no problem looking in the mirror, in fact I look pretty damn good.

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

64. Forgive me if I find that EXTREMELY hard to believe n/t

[Loki]

66. Stop projecting.

It doesn't look good on you.

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

70. I know you better than you know yourself, apparently. Good day. n/t

[Loki]

72. Ah, I didn't know you posed as a psychic

and a very poor one.

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

77. LOL!

[iandhr]

14. Yes

That's a sweep

[Ford_Prefect]

15. 531 votes does not a landslide make for a candidate once touted as the sure thing.

I'm not sure about the rules in Missouri but in some states this close a vote would demand a recount.

We are a long, long way from June...

[Skittles]

22. sure thing

absolute bullshit

[lancer78]

24. Recount is automatic

in Missouri if less then 1%. There will be a recount.

[billhicks76]

35. Iowa May Be Overturned

Polk county already reversed for Bernie. Original counts were only estimates.

[pkdu]

26. Jeez - a recount might give you one more delegate or not....but it doesnt matter - its REAL.HARD.

ARITHMETIC from here on out.

[yardwork]

40. Hillary and Bernie will split the delegates in MO evenly.

MO is a tie.

Hillary has a large lead in total numbers of delegates overall.

[oberliner]

43. A recount won't meaningfully change the delegate allocation

There is no bonus for winning the state like the Republicans have.

For Democrats, it is purely proportional.

[SunSeeker]

17. BOOM!

[Beacool]

18. A clean sweep!!!!

What a great night for Hillary.

[ucrdem]

20. Yep.

All over but the shoutin'!

[Beacool]

21. Yeah......

[riversedge]

25. Hillary sweep Bernie into the dustbin of HIStory

[Beacool]

75. Let's play nice.......

[Sunlei]

23. Oh my!, that was a very close primary! I wish those Two would team-up & Unite the Party split.

[OwlinAZ]

31. Hillary will go with whoever Wall Street wants

[Sunlei]

36. so will the 50% of Americans who own stocks and/or have retirement accounts based on wall street.

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

46. Yeah, good luck with that when the major crash occurs.

[Sunlei]

50. Stocks have no protection. Thats why I only have a tiny bit, but they do earn about 6%.

So much better then any bank savings account.

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

53. My entire "pension" is a 401K matched by my employer.

I've probably lost 25% of the value in the last 6 months. We used to have a REAL defined benefit plan.

This is the kind of thing Bernie would have worked to change, so yeah, thanks for the advice.

[Sunlei]

59. I'm self employed, no 401k, I don't like fees. I do my own stock 'game' with just a little bit.

$6.95 for any sell or buy of stocks, I wish wall street was more regulated and had to provide some protection for small account holders.

I use a regular savings account and CDs for my retirement/emergency money with the best rate I can find. Bank interest rates suck at about 1-2% but I never pay any bank fees if I can help it. Banks should pay a higher interest rate on personal savings accounts.

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

65. Surprise! They used to! Then the Bankers took over congress.

[JustAnotherGen]

27. Wow

Middle of the country - that was a tight race. Happy for Clinton!

But Sanders has nothing to be ashamed of. That was a good showing. Well done Sir!

[Abouttime]

28. Unfortunately it's over for Bernie

He's been my choice all along but deep down I knew it is Hillary's year.
Once Hillary officially secures the nomination the email problem will be resolved and her path to CIC will be clear. I don't see tr$mp as being real competition to Hillary, he's already alienated women and minorities, angry white men won't be enough to win enough states to count on 2 hands for tr$mp. Hillary in a landslide, she will complete Obamas 3rd term and I will gladly support her knowing the alternative is tr$mp

[Sunlei]

37. Not 'over', He is still a Senator,I expect him to finish to the primary. Neither are 'quitters'.

Either D as President is fine with me.

Trump is Republicans bagger problem, their party built that- he will win their primary-he will never be president.

[bkkyosemite]

55. Damnit it is not over ..what is with you Bernie supporters

[AllyCat]

38. Our CIC has to be able to defend the country

Guess we know where we are headed no matter who wins the GE. More war, devastation, and excuses for why we can't take care of our people.

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

48. First thing she does is send ground troops to Syria and establish the problematic "no fly zone".

But the Hillary acolytes will just love it!!

[riversedge]

54. Our 1st African American POTUS with 3rd Supreme Ct nominee and a woman is on precipice of becoming 1

It is indeed remarkable times we live in.

David Plouffe ‏@davidplouffe 3m3 minutes ago

Our 1st African American POTUS with 3rd Supreme Ct nominee and a woman is on precipice of becoming 1st major party nominee in US history.

[rock]

58. It's good to see a youngster make good!

Nice job Hillary.

[hamsterjill]

62. What a night!!!

Go, Hillary!!!

Very proud of Madam Secretary tonight.

[yellowcanine]

63. We are going to have to start calling her "Landslide Hillary"

[magical thyme]

67. Unless there is a recount, which has been requested.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/03/16/clinton-ahead-in-missouri-but-race-in-limbo-pending-decision-on-a-recount/

[Renew Deal]

74. Let them recount. Hillary can give away half her delegates and it wouldn't matter.

[laureloak]

73. Hooray for Hillary!

[Tarheel_Dem]

76. And that ladies & gents, is what Dave Chappelle would call "a clean sweep".

[Legends303]

78. So there was talking points

About her only winning southern states and that's all she is going to win. Looks like that was debunk last night. Personally I think Sanders is done for if New York doesn't go well this can seal nomination for Hilary premenatly.
