1/3 of all KY precincts left to count are in Lexington and Louisville

That is what you call a good sign for Hillary to win outright or keep it so close it doesn't help Bernie.

to even pretend to have a chance, it's clear that's not going to happen. If she wins, she wins by a likely tiny margin and the same would apply for him.

Which means that actually, even if he wins, he'll still lose.

wouldn't be surprised to see it called for Hillary once those precincts start reporting.

Her lead has increased to 1.1 points, with 84% in.
