If one was almost tied and the other was a blowout, didn't she gain even more of a lead in popular votes?

And by the way: what are the chances of Clinton doing anything about the human suffering likely to result from the environmental damage her corporate sponsors are doing to the Arctic?

We'd hear crickets if they weren't being endangered.

In this country... Were from wealthy establisment politicians with rich doners, who they sometimes worked against. Obama had rich doners. Bill Clinton had rich doners and he raised their taxes.

Because the status quo has become untenable, no matter how much Clinton relies on it.

What is strange is how much she loses, ever more.

is almost exactly the same as it was. Hillary is ahead, there, just like she is in the delegate count. We had a surprise on Tuesday. We'll have to wait a week to see if it will be repeated.

Kinda ridiculous. "The people's preference" yet less people has voted for him so far...? What do I know, I'm just another uneducated southern voter whose vote doesn't mean anything.

Edit-to get my quote correct

CAL-EE-FOR-NIA!

We've been working for Bernie all up and down this state. We had to split our weekly conference calls into two sections: Northern Cal and Southern Cal.

We'll be ready. Count on it!

They're already getting ready to come out to California -- MUCH sooner than I thought it would happen. If you haven't already, go to
http://map.berniesanders.com/ and find an event near you.

California is doing barnstorming events, phonebanking events, voter registration events, voter outreach so there's LOTS of opportunities to get involved. This is going to take all of us!

AUTOMATED MESSAGE: Results of your Jury Service
On Wed Mar 9, 2016, 11:08 AM an alert was sent on the following post:

The message from Clinton supporters
http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511453902

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

"all Clinton supporters" did NOT send this message. I find it demeaning to Clinton supporters on this Democratic board. DU does not need this kind of mocking threads.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Mar 9, 2016, 11:13 AM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Wtf, people.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: This does paint Clinton supporters with a broad brush that isn't justified. I don't think that's helpful because who ever wins the Dem nomination it's imperative that they win in the General.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation:
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

I voted to leave
