....who defunded PP last week. Any woman who voted for the guy who on his first day in office told the press that people are either in the bus with him or under it! He is a Koch addled tea partier. We best hope he loses tonight because he said he would drop out if that happened!

If that's so, then the results of Ohio Clinton/Sanders race will look like those of a "closed" primary, where only Dems vote.

By the way, I am not happy with this turn of events.

Remember this is Ohio. We've had more than one stolen from us! All I know is that if these people didn't vote for Bernie tonight there is no reason for a Dem to vote this fall. A president has never been elected without Ohio and Ohioans will never vote for Clinton in the General. Never!

I think it stinks to High Heaven that registered Democrats are allowed to vote in the Repuke Primary.

This is not allowed in my state (Colorado). And here, Independents have no vote.

I have been a registered Democrat for more than 40 years.

At the very least I would like to maintain the tradition of civility in our politics even if some of my ideals are sacrificed. That being said, it's one (albeit one wealthy in delegates) state.
