I'd say congratulations are in order for Hillary Rodham Clinton

Loses a state by less than 10 points and spent very little time there and spent no money. Thats pretty damn good if you ask me. Only gets 7 pledged delegates shaved off her lead when Bernie needs to win from here on out by 30+ points. Thats a good night. Only the media and some others will play up the "optics". She had late wins against Obama in 08 and actually had a less pledged delegate disadvantage and her supporters were saying the same things then. So once again I'm back to being.....

You're absolutely right about SBS not being one of HER problems. Bernie is HIS own biggest problem and he hasn't even recognized that. I noticed a post today about how Cruz's reception back in the Senate after his withdrawal from the GOP primary contest will hardly be a standing ovation.

If Bernie continues as he has been, he could find himself somewhat of a pariah among Dems because he will, for sure, be returning to the Senate.

He has "bernt" some bridges with Dems with many of his recent remarks.

You mean cruz won't get a standing ovation because they don't like him?

Bernie will definitely be a pariah if he continues slashing and berning the Dem party and deliberately(any other kind with him?) hurting Hillary's and our Democracy's chances.

Our Planet's future is bigger than BS's ego.. berni seems to think he's bigger than any bridges he's berning.

saying, "I understand that Secretary Clinton thinks that this campaign is over, but I've got some bad news for her."

Is there no one is his camp who knows how to do Math?
