Tonight proves, only Bernie can win the general election in Kentucky!!!

Sorry Hillary....this was also a CLOSED primary. You cannot win Kentucky against Donald Trump in November!

Don't care what the media is medicating you with tonight! HA!
A basic tie where she should have blown him out in a closed primary!

Don't care what they say, I just turned it off. Congrats Bernie!

Hillary spent a LOT OF MONEY TO barely eck this out.

he former secretary of state's campaign has launched both television and radio ads in the state's major markets and dispatched more than a dozen surrogates to turn out voters in the days before the primary. Clinton has also personally invested time: She will have headlined 11 campaign stops over three trips in the last two weeks by the time Kentucky Democrats go to the polls.

Before that, 1992, and before that 1976. They've mostly been a red state the past 40 years.
I don't see Bernie changing that.

No Democrat is going to take KY in the general, Sanders or otherwise.

She really tried hard with lots of money to win, and barely hit a tie.

She bought $175g in ad time. That's like the catering and craft service budget for an episode of Big Bang Theory.

Both Dems stand a reasonable chance in November, even Hillary.

Hillary 65% Obama 30%

Hillary had over 500K votes then, now she has just over 200K

Closed primary, high spending, against someone who was not suppose to make it past September?

Hillary is a very weak candidate.
