Sweeping! A tidal wave! Absolutely overwhelming! I would go on with more superlatives, but I am left breathless by the huge margin of victory.

I don't recall Bernie's supporters being unhappy about his wins in OK, or UT, or WY. And why should they? This isn't the general election -- that shit doesn't matter. Delegates matter, and once again Sanders has fallen far, far short of his target.

But it's different when Bernie wins bright red states.
Hahaha

At this point a close win is as bad as a loss for Bernie.
At best it's a few more delegates but it's one more
contest off the table.

Of course Bernies more enthusiastic supporters seem to over look that part.

Not to 'gain' anything.

He can't "nearly tie" and stay current.

And that will be the end of that.

If Sanders doesn't disavow the disgraceful behavior of a small but disruptive number of his fans, he'll end up with the speaking spot right before the maintenance team comes in with the vacuum cleaners.

More TPP
More 'business opportunities' in the Middle East.
More refugees.
More protection of the banking racket.
More money in the political process here.

Business as usual.

We are about finished, I'm afraid.
