1. Sanders is right.

Every voter in DC should have their opportunity to vote for Hillary.

[BobbyDrake]

2. +1! nt

[Her Sister]

3. Wasn't expecting that!

[Jamaal510]

4. This race is still

far from over; BS only needs about 1,845% of D.C. delegates to catch up.

[workinclasszero]

24. Virtual tie

[eastwestdem]

5. Have there been any recent polls? I haven't seen any. nt

[Koinos]

6. If Sanders wins DC tomorrow, I'll eat my shoe.

[Walk away]

12. Then I suggest you order out for Thai.....

because...86 on the shoe!

[Koinos]

14. I'm pretty confident.

I studied, lived, and worked in DC for a while when I was young. I loved the city then and I still do. DC is still within reach for us, and I feel my soul being lifted up every time we visit.

Bernie resided in DC for so many years, and he still does not understand what the people there are like and what they care about. Apparently, he never bothered to get to know them; and it shows.

I guess mingling with real people in DC was just not his thing. He preferred the abstractions of ideology and words. I kind of feel sorry for him. DC is going to send him a message tonight about Obama and Clinton. Bernie should have withdrawn before yet another humbling defeat.

Well, at least he won't be able to say the DC primary was rigged. Or will he? I hope he sees the light when he talks to Hillary. I know she will be gracious and accommodating.

[Walk away]

16. My Niece is a Poli Sci major at Georgetown.

She's working for the DCC and a big Hillary supporter. Even the students in D.C. are savvy enough to realize that Bernie's promises are bunk and that Hillary is the next president of the United States.

[Koinos]

17. And the people of DC really love Obama.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

20. Yes we do because many of us work for the federal government and have witnessed

firsthand how he has gone to back for federal employees. Many of us are also people of color and have seen firsthand how this president has been treated. And most of us have worked our asses off only to be told by the Republicans in Congress that we are lazy, no good, overpaid and unworthy---you know, all the racist code words that they love to use as proxies. We'd work our asses off, sometimes working 10 to 12 hours a day putting together the administrative budget, for instance, only for the Rethugs to run to the Corporate Media, lying about Obama not giving them a budget. This has happened every single year since Obama has been in office--not to mention the sequestration and government shutdown.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

21. This political scientist is very proud of her!

[stopbush]

7. Sanders goes for broke in DC

[George II]

18. Hah. I posted that video about a week ago when he lost 4 of 6, figuring he'd come out and say...

..."only a flesh wound".

[Cha]

8. Mahalo to all Washington DC Voters who GOTV4Hillary on June 14, 2016!

Thank you, HS!

[Her Sister]

9. Today's the day! We shall end this properly!

Let's do it!!

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

34. Oh man, it doesn't look good for the home team...

With 8 percent reporting, Hillary Clinton is only winning by 57 points. As we all know, if Hillary doesn't win by at least 65 points that means Bernie is the stronger candidate and all the superdelegates will flock to him.

[Her Sister]

36. kee kee kee!!!!

So good!! BEST SEND-OFF!!! EVER!!!
Send HER with a bang!

[NurseJackie]

35. Whew! What a relief! (Did we cheat?)

[Gothmog]

37. Yeah

[NastyRiffraff]

38. Bernie demands a recount!

Unfair that AP called it so early when it was so close...81% Clinton to 19% Sanders!

[Her Sister]

39. Okee!

[teamster633]

40. There was a point when only 200 votes had been counted that Bernie was ahead.

It's already been cited as evidence of cheating.

[still_one]

41. wow

[forjusticethunders]

42. Don't technically live in DC (might be moving within the city limits soon)

All I can say is that Hillary won the DMV by an average of 45 points.
