1. So, with a U.S. population of 322 Million, that is 4% of the population.

For some perspective.

2. Clinton: 16,554,096

what's that?

[eastwestdem]

3. Exactly. No one side can get too full of themselves. nt

[Bettie]

4. In Clinton math

that's 99.9% of the population that voted for her.

5. More than Bernie got.

6. Considering

she had 100% name recognition, the support of the DNC and superdelegates locked up well before she even declared, SuperPac funding and extensive media coverage, not very impressive. 13 million people voted for a candidate only 3% had heard of before he declared, was opposed by the DNC, had no SuperPac funding, and had no media coverage until he had won a few primaries and caucuses. By all rights, she should have cleaned up but didn't. Time for some introspection, not arrogance.

7. And humility would be nice. And reaching out to the other side.

[Lord Magus]

8. By all rights she DID clean up.

I have literally never before seen it claimed that a 13-point win was anything other than a landslide.

9. A landslide in a Democratic primary is what Al Gore did to Bill Bradley.

Or even what Jimmy Carter did to Ted Kennedy. Clinton lost 22 states despite having the advantage of nearly the entire DNC apparatus working for her. She performed a good public service in exposing how corrupt the Democratic Party has become, though.

10. And 12,000,000 of them will vote for Hillary

in November. That will do just fine.

[JoePhilly]

11. +1

12. Not quite the 16.5 million that Clinton has or the 18 million she had in 2008

but still good.
