By Lysis



oday’s Hillary News & Views begins with Clinton’s victory speech in West Palm Beach, Florida, given after her Florida, North Carolina, and Ohio wins were called, but before her victories in Illinois and Missouri.

Vox transcribes:

Oh, thank you so much! Thank you! Thank you all so very much.

Well, I'll tell you, this is another Super Tuesday for our campaign.

Thank you, Florida, thank you, North Carolina, thank you, Ohio. We know we will add to our delegate lead to roughly 300, with over two million more votes nationwide. We are moving closer to securing the Democratic Party nomination and closer to winning this election in November.

And our supporters across the country, our campaign has won more votes than any other candidate, Democrat or Republican. And I want to congratulate Senator Sanders for the vigorous campaign he's waging.

Now today, all of you in the states where contests were held voted to break down the barriers that hold us all back, so every one of us can share in the promise of America. You voted. You voted for our tomorrow to be better than our yesterday. Tomorrow where all of us do our part and everyone has a chance to live up to his or her god given potential. Because that's how America can live up to its potential too.
