Thank you Kentucky DEMOCRATS for keeping Hillary's win at 1 point.

1. She hasn't won it yet.

But it will be incredibly close however it goes.

[MadBadger]

4. She is the unofficial winner. She is up 1800 votes and there are a max 769 votes unaccounted for.

[Ned_Devine]

2. There are still news outlets that haven't called it

[Luminous Animal]

6. Really? Crazy. And thanks!

[scscholar]

50. Even CNN still only shows her up by 0.4%

There's still votes to be counted.

[Tavarious Jackson]

3. It's bad for Bernie.

He needs big wins across the board in every state.

[Ned_Devine]

9. Thanks, person who just signed up yesterday

[msongs]

23. "person who just signed up yesterday" is correct versus persons who support bernie and DID NOT

turn out to vote for him

[LuvLoogie]

28. He needs close to 67% from here out. Or 562 out of the 842

remaining pledged delegates to get to 2026.

[oasis]

38. He hasn't been here long enough to EARN transparency creds.

[Ned_Devine]

41. Won't be long

[oasis]

47. Nope. The posse don't run roughshod around these parts lately.

Many have been put out to pasture.

[Ned_Devine]

48. I don't even know what that means

[Luminous Animal]

14. Indeed. I've been hearing that for a year now. I remember when he was polling at 2%

Since, he's gained remarkable momentum. Hillary, et.al., never saw him coming.

[Tavarious Jackson]

17. Are you saying he doesn't need big wins?

[Rosa Luxemburg]

52. We'll see

[nc4bo]

5. So close it's scary. Blowout in '08, wthell happened in '16? nt

[Agschmid]

11. ... No African American candidate.

Probably some form of racism against Obama, at least that's my guess.

[msongs]

25. exactly correct nt

[Agschmid]

33. Racism sucks.

[nc4bo]

46. Yea it does........nice they revealed themselves for what they really are. nt

[Codeine]

24. Really? You can't imagine why the black guy did poorly in Kentucky?

Sigh.

[nc4bo]

32. So everyone's happy that the KKK voted yet could care less about Indies?

Ooooooh - OK, I think I got it now!

Thanks

[Codeine]

36. I'm saying Obama's race is a factor that makes comparing '08 and '16 futile. nt

[Skwmom]

7. With the entire Democratic Machine, Corporate Media, and billionaire super pacs behind her

that is one heck of a victory.

[elleng]

15. Yup!

Will the Dem ptb allow the country to descend with tramp?

[Luminous Animal]

21. And she spent a butt load of money in Kentucky.

[Codeine]

29. Bernie outspent her 2-1.

I read her ad buy was like $175 grand. A pittance. That wouldn't buy the ad space on the rearview mirror of a Formula 1 car.

[Number23]

43. Your efforts to inject reality into this thread are appreciated but will probably do little good

Every single analysis available has said that Bernie needs colossal, massive blow out wins in every single state from here on out to stay even remotely viable. Not only did he not get a massive blow out, he LOST in a state whose demographics should have been custom made and tailored for a Sanders victory.

And yet, his supporters are somehow "celebrating" this loss. That's totally believable and doesn't look even remotely pitiful at all.

[Luminous Animal]

45. So really, flying there. Spending time there cost nothing? In any case the person I responded to

espoused an out right lie.

[JonLeibowitz]

59. False! Nice try though.

[LuvLoogie]

44. On June 7 she'll need less than 250 pledged delegates to get to 2026

She's at 281 after Kentucky. By how much will Bernie beat Hillary in Oregon?

[msongs]

26. umm you were supposed to win big. what happened? and you don't gain any delegates. oh well nt

[BootinUp]

8. Thank you Kentucky DIXIECRATS for keeping Bernie's loss within 1 Point.

[Jitter65]

18. Means they were never going to vote for the revolution. nt

[Luminous Animal]

31. Yep. They voted for Hillary to keep that private prison train a rollin'

[dchill]

10. .4%

[jwirr]

12. Exactly.

[Else You Are Mad]

13. In a closed primary...

isn't Hillary supposed to dominate? There is obviously a lack of front runner enthusiastic support for Hillary here. While Hillary may have more votes, her likely victory isn't enough for her to gain momentum. Isn't that worrisome to you?

[Luminous Animal]

16. Why would that be worrisome to me?

[Else You Are Mad]

20. I misinterpreted what you meant. NT

[Luminous Animal]

35. No problems! And a dap.

[brooklynite]

19. Thank you Kentucky DEMOCRATS for keeping Bernie from winning the Delegates (67%) he needs

[jack_krass]

30. Wait, I thought you guys were saying he couldn't win. What about the math?

[brooklynite]

34. Well,, he's NOT winning, but KY made the hurdle even larger.

[pmorlan1]

22. Woo Hoo

Yes! I know you shouldn't be happy when you lose but this is actually the happiest I've been with a loss. It's my state and I really didn't think we would be this close. It was a closed primary and they have spent a lot of time & money here. I was really bracing for a bigger loss but this....Wow. I'm good with it. This is one of those unusual moments when I'd rather be on the losing side than the winning side for what the nature of the win says about the candidate and what the loss says.

[Luminous Animal]

39. !!! So happy for you! It is pretty remarkable when a Democratic Socialist can garner so may

Democratic votes!

[pmorlan1]

40. He Did Great

the only thing I didn't like was that my home county went for Hillary. That's a bit of a downer but the entire election result helps with that.

[GulfCoast66]

51. You know it is over

When you are celebrating a loss.

Hell, I like Bernie and would be happy to have him as our candidate. Do not fool yourselves, there are actually a lot of Democrats who are not in love with either candidate but will support anyone over Trump.

But it is reaching the point that Bernie may be costing more than he is adding. And he has added a tremendous amount. Without him there would be no discussion about Banks or wealth distribution.

Unless you think for some reason Trump is preferable to Clinton, then it is approaching the time to admit the inevitable.

[Tarc]

27. Thank you Kentucky DEMOCRATS for keeping Sanders' ~18% under his needed target.

[Beacool]

37. Meh, this whole primary process at this point is nothing more than Kabuki theater.

[KingFlorez]

42. Yay

Whatever floats your boat.

[barrow-wight]

49. They needed to keep his win at 66% for it to mean anything.

Now his road forward will be that much more difficult.

[Maedhros]

58. Must be the talking point distributed for tonight.

/ignore.

[MFM008]

53. Ask a sports team if they want to win by one point

[Surya Gayatri]

54. And, thanks for denying him the 67% of the delegates he needed to have any hope.

[HooptieWagon]

55. One point in a closed primary.

Now Hillary barely pulls 50% of the registered Democrats. Wow. Make that an open primary like a GE would be, and she's losing 35-65. Down-ticket candidates probably getting REALLY worried about a bloodbath with her atop the ballot.

[anotherproletariat]

57. Yes thank you! It's nice to win the vote count and the delegates! nt
