KY was tailor made for a Sanders landslide. Less than 10% PoC, gun lovers, coal, college town

In fact, I've been reading all week on DU how Sanders would win by a landslide. Funny how now they are backtracking, like they are happy with the results.

We all know how he needed to win by at least 60%. And he lost.

No doubt about it, tonight was a GREAT night for Hillary!

I felt it was more Hillary country.

I'm not saying anything bad about Hillary when I make this next statement, but Bernie is further left than Hillary and when I think about Kentucky, I do not picture it as the bastion of left liberalism.

I'm very glad Hillary won in Kentucky, I felt it would be close.

It's difficult to imagine Bernie losing even more miserably than he is now but it looks as if he will be Shooting the Moon of loserdom on June 7th.
And I hope he stays in to get his butt thoroughly kicked in D.C.

He has a soft spot in his heart for Sanders. Had LD acknowledged Sanders' increasing hatefulness toward Democrats?
