This means an almost even split of delegates (or that's what fairness means it means, though we haven't seen much of fairness in Democratic Party affairs since the Clinton machine took it over), whoever is on top by less than 1% at the conclusion of the Kentucky primary.

BUT it ALSO means that Clinton may not be able to close her deal with the financial criminals and war profiteers who are funding her, before we get to the convention, which promises to be a super-duper unfair affair with lots of super-delegates screaming at the unwashed Leftists who have invaded their corporate holiday.

Sanders is basically tying her in Kentucky, and...well...his campaign--our campaign--got a "fork stuck in it" in January, right? Oh, no, that was February. Yeah. No, it was in March that they "buried" Sanders. No, that's not right. He quit in April, and fell into a rabbit hole to play with the unicorns and ponies. Oh, wait. Oh, wait! He's still there? He...um...tied Clinton? Bernie who?

Hillary certainly doesn't have a hell of a lot to show for all her efforts in Kentucky. Even if she squeaks out a win here, she does not look like a winner.

She is barely beating an old Socialist Jew from Brooklyn...in Kentucky. Just let that sink in.
