Kidding, but since the phrase has been deemed appropriate by Team Clinton I thought I'd try it on.

I would never have been saying things like that but they have been so obnoxious with it. And then, after mocking us, saying we HAD to vote for their candidate. Give me a break.

(4,225 posts)As if operation chaos limbaugh types caucusing for Bernie outnumbered bona fide Democrats, whom Hillary has had locked up all along, by 3:1, in this state of all places...
OK, King County might be the closest indication of what the result would have been like in a closed caucus or primary, since so much of the Democrats' strength in the state is concentrated there, and Bernie still won King County 2:1
Needless to say I've done a lot of educating on why we have the caucus system tonight...I don't think many outside the state realize that we actually went to a primary by passing a binding ballot initiative a few years ago, and the state Democratic party establishment sued to go BACK to caucuses, and won...
Crickets from the "caucuses don't count" Hillary supporters when I post THOSE replies.

Omgz... they are losing it. Seriously.
Reading their OPs is like what I imagine that Fox political comedy show was like, if it had been funny. These OPs are comedy gold!
Interestingly enough, I can't find the projection for today's states on the 538 site. It says the primary projections were updated last on March 25, but AK, WA and HI are not on the dropdown menu, just the upcoming states are, and they are not in the past prediction area either. Hm... how can that be if the site was updated March 25? I guess it could just be the numbers were updated, but then where are today's states? I am really curious what 538's projections were for these states and if they were close to how it turned out.

(4,225 posts)But I don't recall any predictions that he'd win WA by 45 points.
Bernie was predicted to win HI,
but not by 42 points.
Bernie was predicted to win AK,
but not by outperforming Obama in both margin AND turnout, and by 60 points over HRC.
Seriously, they set the "meh" factor so low that the actual results (more specifically, the magnitude thereof) may as well be another Michigan "oopsie" for them.
