Looks like Hillary won't hit viability in VT, total delegate shut out.

With 77% reporting, Sanders up 86 to Clinton 13

If Hillary doesn't reach 15%, she's not viable and Bernie takes all the pledged delegates.

When was the last time a candidate in a two person race failed to reach viability in a state? Ever?

Kind of an unfair comparison. NY is much more diverse and much bigger than Vermont. Liberal_Stalwart71 Mar 2016 #8

This is the same state that voted for Howard Dean in 2004 after he had already dropped out.

Sadly, the only 2 people I know in Vermont are Trump supporters. :vomit:

Has it ever? Should we expect Hillary to take NY by this margin?

When has a front runner ever been non viable in a state? Has it ever happened?
