I like the fact that Bernie’s getting wins, but yesterday’s primaries are more evidence that this race is over. Bernie won two of three races – and he won those two by huge margins – and yet only won 6 more delegates than Hillary. He can’t make up the 300+ pledged delegate gap that way, and with the unpledged delegate lead it’s even harder.
Not reported here, but he also won the vote of Democrats abroad:
“Sanders beat Clinton 69 to 31 percent in a year of record turnout for American Democratic voters living overseas. More than 34,000 people participated, a 50 percent jump from 2008. Sanders picked up 9 pledged delegates to Clinton’s 4.”
Hawaii and Washington are next. There are lots of high delegate states coming up. This year, California’s primary might really count.
TPM: the quote (") icon in the tool bar messes up the formatting, it appears.
@brooklyndweller points out that it was, in fact, reported here.
California isn’t a caucus, and isn’t 90+ white.
And it ain’t a conservative state in the south, either.
Yep. I said last night Sanders would get UT and ID two of the Whitest states we have. No surprise to anyone.
It was reported on TPM on 3/21 by Hope Yen.
Hawai’i’s about 23% “white” and Washington’s about 80%. Based on that, any predictions about how they’ll vote, bd?
Unfortunately for him, he still has to go thru New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia. Now, tell me, which one of those events does he win by 58% or more? Actually he is trailing badly in all of them, wrong demography. And if the way Hispanics votes in Arizona is any indication, he has nothing to look forward to in California. This is over. It has been for a while.
Nor was Arizona or Nevada. The fact remains that he would have to win California in a blowout. Can you see that happening?
OK, I’ll bite: HI will go for Clinton. WA will either go Sanders or it’ll be very close.
Washington is a caucus right? General election isn’t a caucus, has someone told Sanders yet?
Seven mile long line for Bernie Sanders Utah rally, 25,000 supporters!

I’m still Sanders
Are these photos supposed to show that he’s now the President of UT? Very few of the remaining states listed favor Sanders (except, of course, OR, the Dakotas, WY).
But in the the delegate count, he’s actually fallen a few more behind, right?
Trump is getting more of the black and latino vote than Bernie…just sayin.
You might be right. It will be interesting to see.
No, I think you’re just talkin’ … out of your ass. For example, Bernie got 30% of the black vote, and 50% of the Latino vote here in Illinois. The Republican black and Latino vote here is minuscule; Trump’s minority vote total was listed as n/a, as there weren’t enough votes to be statistically meaningful.
@answerfrog Sorry to include you in this crude response to 1988Ranger, but Musgrove’s assertion that Sanders could not win in California because it wasn’t white and a caucus state is belied by these results in Illinois (which was very close, and followed polling which showed HRC up - a Chicago Trib poll showed her lead over Sanders 42 pts!), not to mention Michigan, where Sanders won in a non-caucus state with an electorate that mirrors the nation in terms of minority voter representation.
I see the regular Clinton groupies are here to gloat. They make Clinton’s chances in the general worse every day.
Has someone told Clinton that in the general, unlike the AZ and Florida primaries, independents will be able to vote?
