[RandySF]

1. Doesn't count

Because (fill in the blank)

[DCBob]

5. South, not a "real" state, establishment, rigged, Stockhom Syndrome, etc..

[tallahasseedem]

15. ROFL!

Be careful what you wish for...I can almost hear the keyboards teeing up those excuses now.

[still_one]

2. She may get all twenty delegates

[musicblind]

3. Holy crap! Congratulations! n/t

[Hoyt]

[lapucelle]

24. 2 more to add to my IL.

[Fresh_Start]

28. They saw Bernie was leading based on <300 votes

and then one minute later....20,000 votes hit and clinton was leading by 40...so its rigged

[Cali_Democrat]

31. Hahaha!

[qdouble]

6. D.C. = Deeply Conservative....err um south. Tons of low information voters in the capital as well

Go Hillary The primary is over, let's move on to the general folks

[obamanut2012]

7. k & r

[MineralMan]

8. Rigged.

[geek tragedy]

11. but, momentum nt

[MineralMan]

14. NOmentum...

[lapucelle]

9. The NYT is calling it for Clinton.

I wonder how the blow out win will impact on her meeting with Sanders tonight.

[bigdarryl]

10. But grumpy Sander's has all these demands like he's the nominee

[DCBob]

25. Must be a bit embarrassing for Bernie getting stomped in his last hurrah.

Too bad he didnt end it earlier on a high note.

[Dem2]

35. Careful

Any post that insults Bernie is being hidden by Bernie supporters.

[BobbyDrake]

48. They're enjoying their last few hours of BS jury access.

Impotent rage, in other words.

[workinclasszero]

13. RIGGED!!1!11ONE!! DEEP SOUTH!!1!!

WTG HILLARY!!!!!!

[drray23]

16. very convincing.

Another interesting number is what happened on the republican side:

http://www.nytimes.com/elections/results/district-of-columbia

Trump even thought he is the only one left actively campaigning only made 3rd. Rubio won the district of Columbia with Kasich finishing 2nd very close to Rubio.

One more example that the GOP is sick of their own nominee.

[Metric System]

17. The Republican primary was in March.

[drray23]

19. oops never mind..

You are absolutely right. I should have looked more carefully. They voted march 12.

[DCBob]

18. In March things were a bit different.

[LisaM]

23. Well.......

Even though I can't stand him and don't trust him, when Marco Rubio spoke after the terrible happenings in Orlando, he actually sounded as if 1) the tragedy actually struck him, and 2) he wasn't batshit crazy. That might have given him a boost, aside from all the other reasons DC would not go to Trump.

[redStateBlueHeart]

20. She is killin' it!

I knew she would win DC but not by that margin...

[RogerM]

22. Rigged

System is rigged. Voter suppression. *end sarcasm*

[Demsrule86]

26. If Bernie had any decency and cared about anything...except himself...

he would concede tonight and endorse.

[DCBob]

29. Yeah, I was hoping for that to but looks like he going to string it out a bit longer.

I think his vid thing on Thurs is the concession.

[HarmonyRockets]

36. Thursday night has to be the concession.

That's why he is streaming it instead of doing it at a rally. He endorses Clinton at a rally and all hell likely breaks lose. If he were to do that I wouldn't be surprised if some of them actually attacked Bernie or threw things at him. He will not concede at one of his own rallies for the safety of himself and his staff. Not to mention Bernie does not want to go out getting booed by his own supporters. Or getting "sell out" chanted at him or whatever some plan to do if he endorses at a rally.

[qdouble]

30. That's the dangerous thing when a candidate has a large fanatical base. He knows he has enough

power to probably sway the election if he pouts too much between now and November.. he just wants to see how many concessions he can weasel out of the party.

Decent tactics but a total lack of class.

[MoonRiver]

27. Hillary you so rock!

[democrattotheend]

32. Not surprising

Congrats!

[PowerToThePeople]

33. Congrats HRC supporters.

[workinclasszero]

34. Thanks!

Now lets stop that bastard Trump!

[mcar]

37. Whoa!

But is DC considered the South? If so, does the vote count?

[Nye Bevan]

38. I recall a lot of talk about the momentum going into the convention.....

well there's certainly plenty of that.

[Lil Missy]

39. Yes. Bernie got trounced!

[Hekate]

40. And there you have it

[oasis]

41. Not so fast. Must be 2 to 3 million uncounted ballots.

[tallahasseedem]

43. With a few rally size points to expand the margin!

You know it's comin...

[tallahasseedem]

42. I honestly didn't think...

she would win DC by this margin!

[eastwestdem]

44. So the pandering 'D.C. statehood' stuff didn't work? nt

[DURHAM D]

45. I was out this evening, did he win CA yet? nt

[NurseJackie]

46. Impressive! She ends it with a BANG!

[grossproffit]

47. DC = Heart of Dixie!!

[auntpurl]

49. A decisive victory to ride to the convention!

I still live in hope that Bernie will do the right thing and concede the race and endorse Hillary this week or next week.

But if I'm wrong, there is certainly no reason for a single superdelegate to change his/her vote. She won pledged delegates, superdelegates, popular vote, and what was it, 11 of the last 15 primaries? More? She is polling in double digits over Trump. She has won decisively and cleanly. And as much as I have NOT subscribed to the whole "Bernie is not conceding because he is sexist" argument up to this point, if he keeps campaigning directly against Hillary after this, well, all bets are off. Save me a pitchfork because I'm gonna be very angry. Because the truth is, if he does that, he would never have done that to a male candidate who won as decisively as Hillary has.

However, as I said above, he hasn't broken any of his promises yet, so I am choosing to believe he will do the right thing.

[DesertRat]

50. YEA!!!!
