Hillary Clinton officially wins Missouri after Bernie Sanders declines recount
Bob McGovern Friday, March 18, 2016


Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton picked up another primary victory last night after Vermont U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders declined to fight her paper-thin margin of victory in Missouri.

The former secretary of state ended Tuesday’s battle with a narrow lead of 1,531 votes. Under state law, Sanders had the right to seek a recount since the margin was less than one-half of 1 percent. Sanders, however, declined to keep the fight going.

1. Bernie can count ... whether he publicly admits out or not,

... he knows the numbers will not work in his favor.

2. Missouri was supposed to be a gimmie for Bernie

NOPE!

3. A gimme?

That's interesting considering how often you folks told us the only state he'd win was Vermont.

4. It was assumed all over the place that Bernies best shots to win on Super Tuesday 2

were Ohio and Missouri.

Of course it was a 5 state shutout for Bernie, now officially, with no dispute from the Sanders camp.

One half of one percent!

6. If a baseball game score is 2 to 1

Who wins hmm?

8. Different margin of victory...different game...

This one is more like Bush v. Gore 2000.

10. Bernie math eh?

I get it.

7. Bernie's a master at making a virtue of necessity

Bernie: Recount!? Pshaw! We wouldn't waste the Missouri taxpayers money on such trivialities!

Bernie crowd: Cheeeeeer!

9. And Hillary fans are masters of denying the obvious...

"Just because she took $150 million from corporations doesn't mean she feels any obligation toward them!"

[alcibiades_mystery]

11. There there

There there.

14. If she manages to win the White House watch who she appoints to Treasury...

I guarantee you it won't be Elizabeth Warren. We can talk further at that time.

12. this pretty much tells you bernie has conceded....

no fighting spirit to speak of to even ask for a recount...

[workinclasszero]

13. Right

He knows its a lost cause.

He wants to move on to the majority white caucus states in the west where his thinks hes got a better shot.

This race is already over anyway.
