Her Sister's JournalWashPo: California’s most Latino congressional districts broke for Clinton (HRC GP)
Great to know! Will post excerpts in a moment!
Those polls, on average, missed an easy Clinton rout in California and they seem to have missed her resilience with Latino voters. Clinton won all 12 of the California congressional districts where Latino voters make up supermajorities of the population. (Sanders appears to have won just two districts, the largely white and rural 1st and 2nd districts of northern California.) Both Clinton and Sanders campaigned in the state's most heavily Latino seat, the 40th, which covers east Los Angeles. There, 86.6 percent of the population is Latino, and 55.4 percent of voters broke for Clinton.
It was a similar story across the state, though Sanders's vote was stronger where voters skewed younger. Clinton did worst just 51.5 percent of the vote in the 34th district, which is 66.5 percent Latino and covers downtown Los Angeles. She did only slightly better (52.0 percent) in Orange County's 46th district, one of the parts of the state that swung from Republican to safely Democratic as younger Latinos moved in.
The rest of the picture is below. In all of these districts, save CA-29, Clinton ran ahead of her statewide margin.
CA-16 (Central Valley): 58.1 percent Latino, 58.7 percent for Clinton.
CA-21 (Central Valley): 72.1 percent Latino, 62.7 percent for Clinton.
CA-29 (San Fernando Valley): 67.7 percent Latino, 53.7 percent for Clinton.
CA-32 (East LA sprawl): 61.9 percent Latino, 58.0 percent for Clinton.
CA-35 (Inland Empire): 70.0 percent Latino, 56.6 percent for Clinton.
CA-38 (East LA suburbs): 61.2 percent Latino, 56.9 percent for Clinton.
CA-41 (Riverside County): 59.1 percent Latino, 56.4 percent for Clinton
CA-44 (LA County): 70.5 percent Latino, 60.1 percent for Clinton.
CA-51 (San Diego and Imperial County): 69.1 percent Latino, 58.0 percent for Clinton.

Very happy this morning! and so Proud!! Yet crying! (HRC GP)
Watched HRC's speech last night with my sister (She's Republican, but with HER!).
This morning my sister -just out of the blue, told me "Hillary was very classy in her speech, last night!"
I asked why she thought that. She started describing a few things. Like the fact that she used factual things that Trump had said and done. Like mocking a handicapped reporter. She thought it was funny that HRC said Trump was unfit. She thought that that pretty much described it. She liked when HRC mentioned her mother telling her not to take it from bullies. Trump is a bully, plain and simple!
Interesting to watch HRC's speech with a Republican and to hear her take on it.
As for me feeling so Happy, proud and damn emotional!
Glad this is over!!
Anyone else heard from any people's take on HRC's speech last night!
If am emotional, I guess BS supporters must also be big time, so I kinda understand!

HRC 2184 Pledged Delegates: Needs less than 200 of her 500+ Super Dels for 2383! (HRC GP)

Not all the Pledged Delegates from last night are allocated yet, which means her number will probably go up!
538~Clinton's crushing it tonight. Democrats want this thing to be over with. (HRC GP)
Democrats Want This Thing To Be Over
Clintons margins tonight are toward the high end of expectations, with the possible exception of New Mexico, where she won but by a slightly smaller margin than we would have projected. But in New Jersey and South Dakota and in the early returns from Montana and (more importantly) California shes doing very, very well.
There are more votes left to be counted. But it reminds me of the stretch of states that Trump had in April, where Republican voters suddenly began voting for Trump by large majorities after never having given him more than 50 percent of the vote before. That may have been because Republicans wanted to avert a contested convention and were sick of arguments over process.
Democrats may be reacting similarly, rejecting Sanderss insinuations that the system is rigged against him, and giving Clinton, the candidate who has won far more votes and elected delegates, a more emphatic majority. Clinton has her largest lead in national polls since February, won in a landslide in Puerto Rico over the weekend, and is having somewhere between a very good and an outstanding night tonight, depending on how the rest of the vote in Montana and California goes.

Burlington College Students Face Hurdles Transferring To Other Schools (HRC GP)
Students have received mixed signals from Burlington College about the ease and expense of attending one of the schools that the college had approached to accept its students.
On May 16, the day that Burlington College officials announced the school's closing, the assistant dean of student services sent an email to students assuring them, ...you will be able to choose from a list of area schools, you'll be automatically accepted, you're [sic] credits will all transfer and you will pay the same tuition...
A second email on May 17 said basically the same thing, but didnt include the tuition promise, and didnt offer any explanation for the omission.
Since then, students have been trying to figure out what to do.
They really have no idea about what theyre going to do going forward, says Andrew Tarwerdi, who was president of Burlington Colleges student government. Tarwerdi says theres a lot of concern among students about finding a new school and getting transcripts from the now-defunct institution.
