So everyone thought Guam would go to Sanders...but it's another victory for Hillary!

1. K&R!

23. I don't get these Sanders supporters. People in Guam are POCs.

Why would they think Sanders was going to win there?

I keep hearing the same thing about Puerto Rico too.

[Cha]

51. Someone posted that.. sanders was on tv last night saying Guam was a "shoo in".. but hasn't been

verified though.

2. K&R!

3. While I love the news, do

you have a link from somewhere?

It's true, Texpat!

[BlueMTexpat]

8. I am DELIGHTED!!

I also found this one: http://www.politico.com/story/2016/05/hillary-clinton-guam-bernie-sanders-222927

According to unofficial results announced by Guam Democratic Party chairman Joaquin Perez, Clinton won 60 percent to Sanders' 40 percent.

The Vermont senator still trails Clinton by roughly 300 pledged delegates — and can no longer reach the nomination threshold using pledged delegates alone, necessitating a focus on winning over super delegates — but he has pledged to compete through the final contests in June.

With only seven pledged delegates at stake and Sanders facing an all-but-impossible path to the nomination, neither candidate visited Guam — located 7,900 miles away from Washington, D.C., it’s far from a standard political stop — much on the campaign trail.

YESSSSSS!!

15. Mahalo for the link, BlueMT.. interesting article.

[BlueMTexpat]

18. I have said all along that that she would

win in Guam after the Tim Robbins b***s*** (as well as that of other Bernie surrogates).

So I was surprised when the "conventional wisdom" predicted that Bernie would win.

I LOVE it that he didn't!

I hate myself for gloating, but the way Bernie and his campaign and surrogates have been behaving lately, I am going to gloat to my heart's content!

My late father would not be proud of me, but that's where we are right now and I have a feeling that he might not be too hard on me in these circumstances.

[Cha]

24. Tim Robbins made us gloat.. LOL. Wonder

how silly he's feeling?

I mean really.. why did he have to open his mouth about Guam? What makes them be so insulting? He and that ex wife of his say the silliest things that always comes back to bite them. He also called us sheep.. Which makes Guam even sweeter.. I dare him to call Guam "sheep".

[sarae]

33. Yeah...

it's a little hard to feel guilty about gloating, especially after the crap that's been thrown our way this week!

[Cha]

38. Yes, the rejoicing will continue!

I found a better word for it.. right in the thesaurus!

sarae~

[lunamagica]

5. Better link here

http://www.politico.com/story/2016/05/hillary-clinton-guam-bernie-sanders-222927

She won by a landslide, too!

[BlueMTexpat]

9. What can I say, luna?

Great minds!!

[lunamagica]

11. Yes!

[workinclasszero]

6. Love it!

[charlyvi]

7. As those in another thread stated....

Thank you Tim Robbins!

[BlueMTexpat]

10. The law of unintended consequences

I have always thought that he would regret his words.

Payback can be ... payback.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

35. Indeed

Ask Ted Cruz about putting one's foot in one's mouth.

12. ABC News!

The Guam Democratic Party has declared Hillary Clinton the winner of the party's presidential caucuses there.

Counting superdelegates, Clinton has amassed a little more than 93 percent of the total necessary for the Democratic nomination, according to ABC News estimates. To get to the magic number of 2,383, the former secretary of state needs to win 16 percent of all remaining delegates and 73 percent of pledged delegates.

Meanwhile, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders needs to win 97 percent of all remaining delegates. He cannot reach 2,383 on pledged delegates alone; to win the Democratic nomination, he would need the support of the superdelegates.

19. Those numbers are bleak for Sanders

He could never rationally believe he could score what he needs, but then he went off the rational rails months ago

[UtahLib]

13. K&R. nt

[Walk away]

14. This one delegate wins Hillary the delegate race. It's over folks!!!

So much for Guam being insignificant, Tim Robbins. With this Guam win, bernie is officially unable to get to 2386. He can only get to 2385 and that's if he wins every single delegate left.

It's all about the math.

As of today, there are 926 delegates outstanding through the end of the primary season. He has 1459 delegates (including the 41 superdelegates he's acquired). 1459 + 926 = 2385. From this point on, every delegate that Secretary Clinton gets, takes him further from 2386.

20. Wow!

[sheshe2]

36. Boom!

In the words of Carole King~

And it's too late, baby now, it's too late,
Though we really did try to make it.
Somethin' inside has died, and I can't hide,
And I just can't fake it, oh, no, no.

[Cha]

16. Why did everyone think Guam was going to BS, luna? And how do you think

Hillary pulled it off.. by 20%..?

Mahalo

[lunamagica]

17. Cha, I guess they thought that because it was a Caucus. And the landslide win? Who knows...

Maybe the way Tim Robbins insulted them, or maybe they just are the kind of people who don't believe in fantastical promises...
A combination of those two factors?

Anyway, THANK YOU GUAM!

[Cha]

21. Gracias, lunamagica.. I like your analysis.. I'd like to think they got the news in Guam

about tim robbins suggesting South Carolina meant about as much as Guam(turns out he was close).. South Carolina was a massive win and helped Hillary a lot.. but then so is Guam!

They must have had some strong Hillary Caucus goers there in Guam!

[sheshe2]

37. Guam!

Hey, hey, hey Cha!

[Cha]

39. Guam Guam Guam, she!

Guam!

Rejoicing about our Guam Win!

Tim Robbins may not appreciate the Voters in South Carolina and Guam but we do!

[sheshe2]

40. Timmy...

Can Kiss My A**!

Lol~ cool win, Cha.

Hey, Happy Mothers Day.

[Cha]

42. Robbins and his ilk will just have to realize

that America wants Hillary to be Madam POTUS.. she's the one.

Mahalo, she~Happy Mother's Day to us All.. Mothers of the Earth~

[sheshe2]

44. Mother Earth

May we save her.

[Cha]

45. Ohhh, that's a beautiful image, she... thank you!

Such a beautiful Planet~

[sheshe2]

46. Great image of our Mother Earth.

[Princess Turandot]

49. Whoa. Now that photo kinda woke me up, being that it's in...

my neck of the NYC woods, the East Village. I live close to there (~.33 mile), and grew up even closer.

It's no longer there: the Japanese restaurant on the corner painted over it some time in 2014. This neighborhood, and the Lower East Side in general, gets a ton of street art/ mural action; I take a lot of photos of them. This one goes back at least to 2007; seven years is an eternity for work like this in an active neighborhood.

You can see in situ on Google Street View in 7/2011:

22. Another landslide victory for Hillary!

[JanetLovesObama]

26. But, but, but, but Sanders said last night

that Guam was a shoo-in. WHAT Happened??????

[Treant]

31. Reality happened

Expect the "stolen election" threads to start any time now, ignoring the fact that the Sanders campaign insulted Guam and Clinton actually outspent him there (she spent $20K, he spent less, but I don't have the number right here).

[Cha]

43. Really!? he said that on TV? Please tell me more, Janet?

What were his exact words? lol

[sheshe2]

47. Well~

You put your right foot in...

[ismnotwasm]

27. Yup

Another win #Imwithher

[realmirage]

28. Thanks Tim Robbins for helping Hillary

[sheshe2]

48. They keep shooting themselves in the foot.

[stopbush]

29. Musta been voter fraud, right?

[Walk away]

30. Tim & Susan! Are we paying them? Remind me to cut the a "Hillary Check"!

[spooky3]

32. What did you expect? They are about as southern as you can get.

Congratulations to HRC! One step closer...

[Cha]

53. lol.. pretty darn close to the Equator, spooky! Almost Down Under..

[SharonClark]

34. K&R

[LuvLoogie]

41. Yay!

[robbedvoter]

50. God bless Tim Robbins's heart!

Heard any South Carolina Jokes lately?

[Democratic Divo]

52. This is spectacular.

Especially when you consider that the Sanders folks have been all about Guam for days, as though it were somehow going to resurrect their pathetic candidate.
