PHOENIX – U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders on Tuesday issued the following statement:
“I congratulate Secretary Clinton on her victories on Tuesday. I also want to thank the millions of voters across the nation who supported our campaign and elected delegates who will take us all the way to the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.
“With more than half the delegates yet to be chosen and a calendar that favors us in the weeks and months to come, we remain confident that our campaign is on a path to win the nomination."
O.K, I love ya Bernie, but c’mon…you’re just begging for a Larry David romp on that one!
Also, I’ve already posted this on one thread tonight, but it seems even more appropriate here:

That’s even more fitting for Kasich (“I may get more delegates than anyone else”), I think.

I suspect the GOP is too late to save their party from Donald Drumpf…if Rubio and Carson had backed out a week ago and endorsed Cruz, they would have had a chance (but still would have lost the General election). But now, they’re stuck with chinchilla-head thanks to Carson selling out for peanuts and Rubio hanging on to get flogged in Florida.

With Rubio not dropping out prior to the Florida primary, he boosted the total of delegates from former candidates to over 300 who have become officially unbound before the convention and thus free to be recruited by the remaining candidates. Obviously, if Trump falls one or two hundred delegates short of a majority after the end of the primaries, he can legally cut a separate deal with each unbound delegate, by offering a plethora of patronage positions such as ambassadorships, even Cabinet level appointments. This scenario was explained by the vulpine Republican legal expert on MSNBC’s election night panel in response to a question from Rachel Maddow.

I had to laugh a good one when Carson admitted to trading his endorsement for an as-yet-decided something-or-other. Donald Trump set him up – he knew Carson would make a fool of himself. There’s a part of me that believes DT was wrong to do that (and I’m not only referring to the potential lawbreaking) to someone I’ve come to consider special needs. That said, Carson is a big boy. Bullies bully.
edit to add: I see the posting gremlins are still at it. (and spelling)

At this point, the difference between winning and losing is a single delegate. It’s bigger for the Republicans because being over by one vote is worth 12 delegates. But thanks for update.

Please don’t give Cruz the opportunity for a MO victory. He’ll give one of his speeches about being the only one to beat Trump not once, not twice but…

If Trump choses Carson for VP, where does that leave Hillary?
