Bernie Sanders Wins Big In Two States, But Is It Enough?


"Patricia Ramirez

Bernies Sanders scored two big wins on Tuesday night, but will it do more than simply give him a morale boost? It’s tough to say. As CNN reported, Bernie was able to clinch substantial wins in the Utah and Idaho Democratic primaries, coming in well ahead of his rival and Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton. However, despite winning two of the three primaries of the night, Bernie Sanders couldn’t stop Clinton from coming in first in Arizona, which was the biggest prize of Western Tuesday.

Even though he couldn’t clinch a win in Arizona, the Bernie Sanders wins in Utah and Idaho were substantial, with Bernie winning 78 percent of the Idaho vote (and 17 of the 23 delegates at stake) and 79 percent of the Utah vote and 24 of the state’s 33 delegates (with 82 percent of the votes counted). These big wins in the West play into the Bernie Sanders campaign’s path to the Democratic nomination, which is becoming increasingly improbable as he continues to lag behind Hillary Clinton in the overall delegate count"




Here's a pretty fair assessment of Bernie’s challenges going forward

ask that he is not written off until at least all the states have their primaries. I also ask that the powers that be recognize those who support him.

No mention of Clinton at all... It was surprisingly nice to hear a no spin delegate blah blah for once... Lol
