NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Hillary Clinton handily won the New York Democratic presidential primary Tuesday night.

With 55 percent of the precincts reporting, Clinton had 59 percent to 41 percent for rival Bernie Sanders.

CBS News polling showed Clinton won 57 percent with women voters to 43 percent for Sanders, 70 percent with older voters compared with 30 percent for Sanders, and 71 of black voters compared with 27 percent for Sanders.

Eighty-nine percent of exit poll respondents said Clinton had the right experience, compared with only 11 percent for Sanders.

1. Yes

Yes!!!!

[ImaPolitico]

44. Woo, HOO!

Hillary is my gal and has always been. She will become the first women president!
Haters will love this: Fact Checkers have named Hillary the most honest candidate of both parties!
Woo, hoo. I believe it. Have been watching since the 90s how the haters have smeared Hillary from day one.
Keep on spreading those faux scandals, haters. It won't do you any good.

[liberalnarb]

213. Um, no.

The most successful truth-teller is Bernie Sanders (54 percent “true” or “mostly true” and 28 percent “mostly false” or worse”). Hillary Clinton, affectionately known as Hil-LIAR-y by conservatives, missed the mark on the truth in 28 percent of her statements. But she got it right 51 percent of the time.

[LiberalElite]

216. I'm curious - just where is your

particular alternate reality located?

[fasttense]

120. This is NOT Winner take all Or winner take most like RepubliCONS

Hillary merely got more delegates. She did NOT win ALL the delegates. The corporate media likes to pretend there is a winner but in reality the other candidate can get very close to the same number of delegates.

So, No Hillary did NOT win nor did Bernie.

[Scootaloo]

157. Funny how quickly they forget that, innit?

[Silver_Witch]

165. Super Funny!

It is amazing how they now say it is a big deal ....those crazy kids!

[turbinetree]

181. +1

Its called an election process.......................seems everyone forgets this little item............................including this corporate corrupt media..................................I turned to the MSNBC gab fest after watching my BlackHawks, and it was absolutely amazing to hear them talk with all of there talking heads and the hired paid guns, and Rick Tyler had to tell them all, this is about delegates and the count for these delegates, it was not a coronation--------------------and they were already licking there chops on the next headline creation---------------amazing



Honk-----------------for a political revolution Bernie 2016

[muriel_volestrangler]

188. It's amazing how much you've managed to read into one repeated word

and a few punctuation symbols. It even required you to use capitals to spell out words, so strong was the message you found you had to counter.

Did it occur to you that the DUer was just expressing satisfaction?

[fasttense]

191. Did you mispost?

There is a whole CBS article up there.

I guess haters got to hate something.

[muriel_volestrangler]

192. You replied to someone who just said "yes. Yes!"

If it was the CBS article you were referring to, then you should have replied to that. But that wasn't added until 11:24pm, Eastern time, and you replied at 10:51pm. So don't try to blame it on an article added later to the OP.

Who are you calling a 'hater'?

[fasttense]

196. Oh my, your vitriol and in depth detail of posting events

Makes me think you are Not who you claim to be.

Keep the hate. It seems to be your strongest emotion.

[muriel_volestrangler]

197. 'Vitriol'? 'Hate'?

What are you talking about? You objected to someone saying 'yes!' when Hillary won the New York primary, and you suddenly accuse me of 'vitriol' and 'hate', and accuse me of not being who I claim to be.

What do you even think I am claiming to be? Let's get your accusations straight. My "in depth detail of posting events" consist of looking at this thread. Other people in the thread had already said "why isn't there a link in the OP", before it was added. All you have to do to get 'in depth detail' is look at the OP, and when it says it was edited. Then click on 'thread info', and you can see the original version, and what was added in the edit.

Maybe you've never been very interested in DU, and you don't understand about edits?

[fasttense]

198. Really all that hate just because I pointed out that Dem primaies are not winner take all

Relax, take a breath. You seem to be over reacting to a minor point.

[muriel_volestrangler]

199. You've called me a 'hater', accused me of 'vitriol', and 'not being what I claim'

The hate is coming entirely from you. You are the one over-reacting. You've also tried to mislead people about what you were replying to.

You could have just said "oops, I didn't mean to reply to cloud75", which would have been believable. All I said was you read too much into a word.

[leftynyc]

210. Stop digging

You're embarrassing yourself. You responded with bullshit to a post with only the word yes in it. It makes you look like a pathetic sore loser - if that was your aim, you succeeded brilliantly.

[Thinkingabout]

2. This is great, it is more than a win, the delegates are so important.

[Kingofalldems]

3. Here comes the 'She cheated!!11!' from the haters.

'She's in cahoots with Dick Cheney!!'

[Amimnoch]

19. Heh, they started the meme even before the primary.

[concreteblue]

24. 120,000 Dems missing from the registrations?

A bunch of registrations changed from Dem to R or "independent"? A now open investigation? The Elections supervisor being a Clinton supporter and the hours in Sanders heavy districts being restricted?
Oh yeah, those guys need tin foil hats....

[Kingofalldems]

53. So Hillary did it?

[concreteblue]

59. Please quote me

Eom

[Kingofalldems]

67. Insinuation. Pretty lame you did that and then demanded a quote.

[concreteblue]

78. Not insinuation at all. Facts

Which, if Clinton supporters cared about AT ALL, you would be demanding an investigation. but, since it benefits your hero, you will ignore the facts, and even ridicule anyone who dares to point this out. Vote Republican already and be done with it.

[Kingofalldems]

81. I am fine with an investigation.

Your last sentence is funny.

[concreteblue]

88. So, you agree that there is enough evidence

To warrant suspicion of election fraud? And you are fine with an investigation wherever it leads? Good

[Kingofalldems]

99. No. Yes.

BTW, don't call me a republican.

[concreteblue]

110. I did not call you a republican

I will state, unequivocally, that anybody who looks at what has happened in AZ and NY and say there is not evidence to warrant suspicion of fraud is probably NOT a Dem.

[Kingofalldems]

111. Passive aggressive BS. Say what you mean.

[concreteblue]

122. I dis

Last edited Wed Apr 20, 2016, 01:44 AM - Edit history (1)

I clearly stated that if you do not take election fraud seriously, you are probably not a democrat. Registration notwithstanding. And with a handle like " king of the dems" I will go out on a limb [ not really] and say I am right .

[maq-az]

170. Good luck

Like Az. not enough to catch up even if he won every single one.

[ImaPolitico]

49. Hee, hee.

Dick Cheney just may become the Republican candidate for president at the convention. If not draft dodger Cheney, it could be Jeb Bush and/or Mitt Romney.

[tom_kelly]

75. She Cheated!!!

[6000eliot]

129. Of course, the question on WHY she would go to all of that trouble

in a state where she was ahead in the polls by double digits goes unasked.

[redruddyred]

141. as in 3%

i thought dems were supposed to be the smart ones

not good at math, persay, but smarter than your average bear

[6000eliot]

162. Cite your outlier poll all you want,

if that's what helps you sleep at night. Everyone else knows the truth.

[redruddyred]

164. melatonin infrequently helps me sleep at night

as does utter exhaustion

i'm open to other remedies tho

[Webster Green]

155. Cheney too?

I thought it was Kissinger.

[Kingofalldems]

190. She was called a neocon just yesterday right here on DU.

[iandhr]

4. Who hoo.

[RogerM]

5. 57-43

Call for tonight Clinton 57% Sanders 43%

[question everything]

16. 60.5-39.4 according to CNN projections (nt)

[beastie boy]

18. 60.5 to 39.5 now with 38% of the vote in as per Talking Points Memo

[Kind of Blue]

6. That was beautiful and breathtakingly(?) quick!

Well done!

THANK YOU, NEW YORK!!!

[Number23]

17. "THANK YOU, NEW YORK!!!"

I echo my girl's joyous declaration!!!

And you're right, that hiney whipping was SUPER fast. I guess New Yorkers just wanted to bring the pain as quickly as possible.

[Kind of Blue]

43. Seriously! The relief feels wonderful.

I was on pins and needles even though I knew!

"hiney whipping" I love your phrases, Number23

[Kind of Blue]

150. There-There

[Number23]

183. What an unnecessary and moronic comment

Less crying and more thinking would be a good place to start.

[redruddyred]

203. What an unnecessary and moronic comment

Less crying and more thinking would be a good place to start.

[johnp3907]

211. I know you are but what am I?

Infinity!!!!!!

[riversedge]

202. Don't be sad--You just made this up and It is Fake..

[JustAnotherGen]

38. She's going to the White House

There's a link in HRC group to not only the county wins - but the numbers of voters. So what - Trump won? The Kasich voters will not vote for Trump. The ones in Monroe, Erie etc etc - she will get them in GE.

[Kind of Blue]

64. I believe you and feel that she's already there!

And she's working for downticket Dems, too! Please let's sweep Repubs out this fall. And, I think, about 70% of democrats say she energized the base, maybe just New York but !

[riversedge]

92. The best thing about tonight is that we can say Madam President come Nov.

[Firebrand Gary]

7. Kicked and recommended!

[LS_Editor]

8. Here comes Hillary Goldwater.

This is absurd. The Democratic Party has been taken over by conservative elements, and they are being cheered.

[dhill926]

11. wow....

[msongs]

22. calm down and call bernie, maybe he can get you an F 35 from his MIC buddies at lockheed :-)

[mac56]

29. There's such a thing as celebrating victory with some dignity and grace.

This ain't it.

[Cary]

82. Comeuppance.

Well earned comeuppance too.

Pfeh.

[spooky3]

109. Did you read the post to which s/he was responding?

[demosincebirth]

156. Give us a break! What goes around comes around

[LS_Editor]

32. Don't worry. She'll be using those and ground troops in her first term.

Just look at her foreign policy experience. It's full of lessons about what not to do.

Iraq, Honduras, Libya...

[actslikeacarrot]

178. EXACTLY! She has never met an overseas adventure she didn't like! n/t

[McKim]

185. More Wars and More Pain Around the World

She will mean death and destruction around the world. How very sad. What a moral disaster this country is. She never saw a war or an intervention she didn't like.

[ImaPolitico]

206. I beg to differ...

What one can say is that Hillary Clinton has far more foreign policy experience and a deeper network of advisers than any of her competitors. On the flip side, in a meeting with unappealing looking, bad habits Bernard Sanders, was clearly disinterested and thinly briefed on foreign issues.

[LS_Editor]

207. How do you beg to differ?

You say she has far more experience than any of her competitors. That does nothing to counter my argument. Neither does the claim she has a deeper network of advisers. Look at the results of her foreign policy decisions.

Even more amusing, having completely failed to address my argument, you jump to attacking Bernie Sanders.

[ImaPolitico]

208. I would trust,

Hillary Clinton more than any other candidate running for office.

What about HER foreign policy experience? Can you explain, please. Her experience is rather good. Not that bad as the haters and media churn out those untruths would make it to be.

I get it. Studying politics for many years and lived through the 90s, the Clintons were made a mockery by the Republican party and still are doing it. Their lies, their faux scandals, their books written about them, all lies to make Hillary look bad. Have to hand it to the R party, they are good at cheating to get ahead.

Of course she/Hillary voted for the Iraq war along with many other politicians. Why? The Bush Administration lied upon lie to make their story look good. Persuasion works. What do people want -- blood! Yes, I guess so. Hillary has apologized many, many times over.

The crux is, and it goes way back to Condi Rice and how she lied under oath to Congress. Yes, Under oath, Miss Rice lied through her teeth. She , Bush and Cheney should be locked up in prison for that.

Hillary, and I really hope so, will make a good president! I know it is not over yet, but the numbers are adding up in her favor.

Bernard isn't too happy. What is his next step? Cheat his way to win the election by persuading delegates to switch sides. Am putting Bernard in the same category with Trump. They both did not want to fight for their country during the Viet Nam war. One registered as a *conscientious objector* (Bernard) plus got his girlfriend pregnant, and has an illigitmate son; the other is a draft dodger many times over And these two want to run our country!

Okay, this comment got a little bit too long.

[SylviaD]

100. LOL! nt

[beastie boy]

23. When did THAT happen?

The minute you decided that anyone to the right of Che Guevara is a conservative element?

[iandhr]

40. +1

[Maedhros]

68. The Democratic Party is as far apart from Progressives

as the Republican Party is from Democrats.

[beastie boy]

84. Then why is Bernie running as a Democrat?

Did he get tired of progressives?

[mac56]

94. To rescue the party

from people like you.

[beastie boy]

106. Why didn't he run as a Republican to rescue the party?

Where are his priorities, damnit?

[mac56]

115. His priorities are fine.

Unlike his opponent's.

[beastie boy]

117. In this case, you are doing a crappy job trying to articulate his priorities

[mac56]

119. Thanks ever so

For your consummate guidance.

[beastie boy]

137. It's a dirty job, but someone's got to do it...

[Scootaloo]

168. You'd prefer he ran independent, perhaps?

[beastie boy]

169. Anything but Democrat.

If "The Democratic Party is as far apart from Progressives as the Republican Party is from Democrats", he is betraying his progressive principles when he associates himself with this bastion of third way neoliberal establishment bastion.

[Scootaloo]

174. You seem to make great effort to demonstrate the other poster's point for him.

But no, I'm pretty sure you'd be having a real conniption if Sanders were running as an independent or third party candidate. Oof, what a mess THAT would be.

[beastie boy]

177. This message is brought to you by the word "sarcasm"

And I am not discounting the possibility that the sore loser will run as an independent anyway.

[beastie boy]

172. Anything but Democrat.

If "The Democratic Party is as far apart from Progressives as the Republican Party is from Democrats", he betrays his progressive principles by associating himself with this third way neoliberal establishment bastion.

[geek tragedy]

193. Want some cheese with that whine? nt

[RogerM]

9. 61.5% to 39.5% with 41% in

ABC News and NBC News have projected Clinton the winner of the Democratic primary.

[HillareeeHillaraah]

10. Who had 9:30pm in the "when will they call it" pool?

[Nedsdag]

12. So much for me voting for him in New Jersey.

A pyrrhic victory.

[Beacool]

33. You can still vote for him in NJ.

I voted for Hillary in 2008.

[Nedsdag]

116. Hillary won N.J. in 2008. She'll win it again in 2016.

I just feel bad for those young people who put their heart and soul into campaigning and voting for Sanders.

Your girl will have a tough time winning them over in the GE.

[TowneshipRebellion]

123. This is why Trump was placed as opposition.

I don't know if Clinton can defeat Cruz or Rubio in the GE but my dead father could defeat Trump in November from his pine box.

[pnwmom]

13. Woo-hoo! And most of the pollsters can give themselves a pat on the back. n/t

[ErikJ]

14. American corrupt status quo won tonight.

8 more years of corrupt elections favoring the Republicans.

[beastie boy]

20. ...And the whining begins!

[ErikJ]

26. Rightfully so. Big money in politics wins.

otherwise known as bribery in any other country.

[beastie boy]

51. By more than 20 points, no less!

Pretty embarrassing for the small money, no?

Speaking of big money: Bernie outspent Hillary in NY by 2 to 1!

[ErikJ]

61. WHy do u hate democracy and America?

WHy do u favor big money candidates? ANd Hillary is guilty. DO u really think the banks will be broken up now? Or any corruption will end?

[beastie boy]

72. Ask someone to buy you a dictionary. Then look up "democracy".

Then consider 60% of the vote vs 40% of the vote.

Then ask yourself who really hates democracy.

[ErikJ]

77. Thanks to the big money corporate media

The old Dems only watch tie big money corporate media so what do you expect.?

[metroins]

83. The media Bernie out spent Hillary 2:1 on?

Hillary is shown a lot less on TV than Sanders.

[ErikJ]

91. No, the media that spent most time reporting on Hillary

I dont care if Bernie spent 10 times more for ads. He did it with the PEOPLE"S money, not the big banksters money.

[metroins]

101. So he took from the poor

And gave to the rich at a rate 2x faster than Clinton.

He literally took donations from poor people and gave it to companies like Comcast, then lost the election.

Hillary is managing her money much better than Sanders.

[beastie boy]

108. Ouch!

Except that Bernie supporters tell us Hillary took no money from the poor...

[ErikJ]

112. ANd who is the one who promises to END this corrupt media campaign system?

Not Hillary, thats for sure. And that system obviously favors the corrupt Republicans.

[beastie boy]

124. That would be Bernie, allright. All he does is promise.

But no clue about how to deliver on his promises.

[ErikJ]

140. Bernie's coattails are longer than Hill's.

That means he'll get record youth turnout to vote and they'll vote in more Dems. He'll also keep up the pressure on the system to change. That dies when he loses.

[dbackjon]

214. Evidence of that?

In the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, 12% of Sanders voters did not vote in the Supreme Court race (same ballot)
Only 4% of the Clinton Voters did not.


Seems like Clinton has better coattails than Sanders.



Sanders voters are only interested in voting for him. Screw the rest.

[redruddyred]

143. is voter suppression

"democracy"

hell i didn't get to vote, not because of shady tricks like CHANGING VOTER REGISTRATIONS but because they don't explain the rules for the absentee ballots.

i figured out what i was supposed to do after several phonecalls and a 30 minute internet search.

yeah this is democracy.

[beastie boy]

145. "An educated citizenry is a vital requisite for our survival as a free people" - T. Jefferson

Deal with it. And quit blaming someone else for your shortcomings.

You might also want to inform yourself on the remedies made available to all Democrats who had their voter registration changed.

[redruddyred]

147. i think i'm missing your point

are you saying "check this box for an annual application" means something else than "apply now for the rest of the year"?

i want the educated person's opinion

if you're mocking me for being disabled then that's something else entirely

[beastie boy]

160. I am saying no one is under obligation to explain.

It is your responsibility as a citizen to learn what it takes to make your vote count.

And Jefferson concurs.

[redruddyred]

161. if the ballot application says one thing and means another

does that mean i'm stupid, or the text is misleading?

you're right tho, we don't have an explicit right to vote. i'm disturbed but not surprised that you seem to be okay with this.

[Number23]

15. She damn sure did. Seemed like within 30 minutes of the polls closing she was already being declared

the winner.

[Beacool]

21. Yes!!!!!!!

What's even more gratifying is that it was a "yuuuge" win.

Early birthday gift for myself (it's tomorrow).

[SunSeeker]

56. Happy Birthday Beacool!

[Beacool]

60. Thank you!!!

[Tess49]

57. Happy Birthday !!!

[Beacool]

63. Thank you!!!

[NastyRiffraff]

25. Wheeeeeeee!!!

It was never close. I hope that margin holds; 20 points is a nice, round number.

[mainstreetonce]

27. Madam President

Hill yes

[Chicago1980]

28. Someone by the name of 'litlbilly', a few weeks ago pretty much told me...

Bernie was surging and would definitely win NY because of the momentum of the previous caucuses.

Not tonight... Momentum halted.

As I've said before, I'm voting blue no matter who.

I'm not trying to dig at Sanders supporters, but everyone needs to chill.

Congratulations to Secretary Clinton.

[retrowire]

30. If she wins, Republican Obstructionism against her will be thrice as bad as it was against Obama.

I wish us all luck in the midterms. Otherwise, this is truly for naught.

And Bernie's still not out. We're going all the way to the convention.

[ErikJ]

36. For sure. Their hatred for Obama is only exceeded by Hill

[msanthrope]

158. Then get cracking on the downballot. nt

[NYCButterfinger]

31. Not surprising. It's an tossup in Glendale, Queens, a working class enclave.

According to NYT.

[pnwmom]

47. CNN just said she had more than 60% in Queens overall and the same or higher

in all the NYC boroughs.

Including 60% in Brooklyn.

[Trust Buster]

34. ONE SMALL STEP FOR WOMAN, ONE GIANT LEAP FOR WOMENKIND.

[retrowire]

42. Argentina elected the worlds first woman president.

So... Not much of a giant leap but, good work voting a "feminist" who will consider compromising on a woman's right to choose.

[Trust Buster]

45. Nothing but bitterness.

[retrowire]

46. Sorry about the educated voter in me. It comes out sometimes. nt

[Trust Buster]

58. Was basic math part of your education ?

[retrowire]

62. Yes!

But so was reading comprehension. Try it, you might learn that I never doubted any numbers in my previous statement so bringing up math is irrelevant. lol

[Trust Buster]

65. Math also includes Congress. Those skills would have been mighty handy to you.

[retrowire]

66. No, math class doesn't cover congress. That's civics class silly. ;) nt

[Trust Buster]

69. Sanders could not have delivered his promises through Congress. The numbers aren't there.

[retrowire]

71. And here's the question that always ends these conversations.... Ahem...

How is Hillary going to work with the Republican congress any better than Obama or Bernie?

I'll wait.

[Trust Buster]

79. She's not proposing major changes like Sanders. She will be able to horse trade with Republicans.

More numbers for you. It's all about a 5-4 Left leaning Supreme Court. That's the new Legislative Branch.

[retrowire]

80. Did we elect that new Supreme Court Justice yet?

Also, seriously, how can she, more hated than Obama trade any horses with Republicans? You mean by compromising on a womans right to choose?

[Trust Buster]

85. You think Republicans would have loved Sanders any more ?

Demographic changes will force the Republicans to keep the Congress tied up. All the action will come from the Judicial Branch. Sanders was selling you fairy tales.

[retrowire]

95. Bernie has a better record of working across the aisle...

Hillary gets films made about how they see her as a criminal.

Now really, who's going to work better with Republicans? Stop dreaming.

[Trust Buster]

103. No he doesn't. Republicans hate socialists. He would have just brought about more division.

[retrowire]

105. giving republicans a bit too much credit there

To a Republican...

Obama was a socialist.

And they'll call Hillary the same.

At least Bernie owned it.

[Trust Buster]

107. Yes, and Republicans know he owns it. He would have been a disaster in a divided America.

[retrowire]

113. i dont think so. but we can have differing opinions on that one. nt

[NickB79]

200. Horse trade with the Republicans? What's she going to give away to them this time?

Because the left ALWAYS get's fucked every time some "horse trading" is done, it seems.

[muriel_volestrangler]

189. If you're thinking of Isabel Peron, she succeeded to their presidency because she was vice-president

for her husband, who died. I think Vigdís Finnbogadóttir of Iceland has the better claim to be the world's first elected woman president.

[riversedge]

98. ...

[riversedge]

128. After tonight I can say Madam President with more confidence

[runaway hero]

35. congrats hillary!

nice job!

[nolabear]

37. And a resounding win! Go Hillary Go!!

[Mary Mac]

41. that western caucuses run was nervewracking.

Thx NYC. Girl power.

[SunSeeker]

48. YES! We DID IT!!!

[Khellendross]

50. Love how everyone...

is crowing "wooo, she won!" in a closed primary, with some of the most restrictive voting rules in the country.

If its the best you can do....

[aka-chmeee]

90. I agree....

The idea of allowing only registered democratic party voters to select the democratic candidate for an office is just scandalous, SCANDALOUS, I say!

[Mary Mac]

217. id like to restrict primaries to those who vote in midterms.

But perhaps that is a little harsh. I'm still cross with all the Obama voters who didn't show up for midterms to stop the gerrymandering republicans.

[Ford_Prefect]

52. Current count at 10 PM is still only 51% of the total votes cast have been reported out.

presently it is 59.3% Clinton v 40.7% Sanders

[WIProgressive88]

54. Congrats to Sec. Clinton and her supporters.

[Loki]

55. Thank you New York!

We will have a woman as president and we will win seats in the house and senate. Yes we can!!!

[MADem]

70. No link in your post...?

[Stryst]

73. I'm disapointed in the results. I'm a Bernie supporter but I'd vote for Clinton over any GOPer

I'd rather have Clinton in the White House than Cruz or Trump, but I will never forgive her for her pro-Iraq invasion vote or her public denouncement of marriage equality. As angry as I am that war was good enough for our kids but not hers, I still don't think that she will authorize the kinds of use of force that Cruz or Trump have already promised to.

[tiredtoo]

74. Hope the righties haven't used up all their hate.

Looks like they are going to have another eight years of hate to spread.

[Reter]

76. She's a disgusting fraud

I almost was turned away at the polls, finally getting sent to another school, before I was told they couldn't find my name. I don't hate many people, but she is one I do deeply.

[moosewhisperer]

89. And...

...that's Clinton's fault how?

[Duval]

93. No! So you didn't get to vote?

We know this isn't right. I don't blame you, Reter.

[Reter]

102. I did, after 40 minutes of arguing

I've been voting in every election since the 90's and I was treated like a liar. They finally let me vote by affidavit, they probably won't even count it any way.

[beastie boy]

104. She turned you away at the polls. She sent you to another school. She struck your name from the

records.

I understand your anger.

[geek tragedy]

194. Do you blame her for all of the problems in your life? nt

[William769]

86. Kick & so highly recommended!

[jalan48]

87. Maybe Hillary can get finally get 1000 people to attend one of her rallies now.

Unpaid of course.

[6000eliot]

138. Because rallies are what gets the presidency.

[Mary Mac]

218. maybe but it is a different base.

I think it is charming that Bernie Sanders draws like a flower power crowd. I'll give him that accolade.

[George II]

96. KICK!!

[LenaBaby61]

97. Congrats Hillary .....

I knew you'd win, and win NY City BIG.

Madam Secretary ......

[Earth_First]

118. Reap what you sow... nt

[c588415]

121. It's time for Hillary to start shopping for new curtains for the Oval Office.

After all, she is the chosen 1, and will win it all .

[c588415]

131. You must be feeling the Bern, oops, I meant Burnt. LOL !

[Skittles]

135. Trump Troll

[c588415]

139. Clinton is my candidate! I do not support Trump or his orangutang hair piece

I hate to gloat, but Clinton, the chosen 1, will win it all

[Skittles]

144. I was referring to, er, "Name Removed"

[SunSeeker]

126. Wow. Hillary 57 to 43 with 87% of the vote!

[MonteSS]

127. How does she win when Bernie pretty much wins 90% of all counties

I am confused how she wins when it looks like Bernie wins most of the state counties. It looks like she only wins NYC, Rochester, Buffalo, and that is pretty much the major cities.

[riversedge]

130. It is the number of voters and or the population that matters. Looking at all that blue

is less populated.

[6000eliot]

132. Where the Democrats are?

[Tommy_Carcetti]

133. Same way Democrats win general elections over Republicans under a swath of red.

People vote. Not acres.

[Skittles]

136. votes come from people, not land

[MonteSS]

142. OK that all makes sense now, Brain fart moment

[Scootaloo]

176. Acreage doesn't count for votes

Apparently the margin in Buffalo was less than 300 votes, too. Neat stuff, that.

[beastie boy]

134. Funny thing happening to Bernie's campaign right now.

They are openly talkling about defying the will of the people and trying to stir trouble with super delegates.

Oh, the irony!

[L. Coyote]

148. If you say so, I suppose maybe.

[L. Coyote]

149. I would be impressed if NY allowed the people to vote in primaries. But this is no victory.

It is a poll of registered Dems.

[beastie boy]

152. I don't say so, Bernie's campaign does.

[Wibly]

151. How exactly did

"We do it".
What was involved?
Why were so many people unable to vote?
Who caused that, and why?

[beastie boy]

159. "We did it" by winning NY. Getting more votes than Bernie is what was involved,

"Why were so many people unable to vote?"
"Who caused that, and why?"

Good questions. Perhaps you are willing to put some effort into answering them before insinuating that Hillary's victory has anything to do with the answers.

[DemonGoddess]

154. Thank you New York!!!

[Silver_Witch]

163. As you all so happily point out...

she only won by a few percentage points and so the delegates will be divided based on that percentage. There are more elections to come and Bernie is still HERE...and I am sending him more money.

[Number23]

184. If SIXTEEN percentage points is now just a victory of a "few" points

I hope she whips the Repub nominee by the same margin.

[Silver_Witch]

186. Sorry - I was just...

...using the Hillary supporter statements from when Bernie won some primaries....

We don't really win in Dem primaries we sort of split by majority....so everyone is still in the game.

[Number23]

187. She will pick up probably 40 more delegates from this than Sanders

Combined with her already formidable 220 delegate lead, this thing is pretty much over.

[geek tragedy]

195. Virtual tie! nt

[Jester Messiah]

166. Well, good for her.

Best of luck in the general.

[UtahLib]

167. Yes oh yes we did!!! eom

[murielm99]

171. Go, Hillary.

She's got this.

[Surya Gayatri]

173. Big shout out to all NY Hillary supporters and voters, who worked so hard to make this happen!

[Spitfire of ATJ]

175. We have "experience" with the Clintons.

[Tarheel_Dem]

179. K&R!

[Chakaconcarne]

180. A year ago I would have had no problem getting behind Hillary...

But there is just something fundamentally that bugs me about her, the way she presents herself.... She doesn't come across as real or genuine. I honestly don't know if I can check the box for her in November if she's the nominee because I don't see her much differently than any of the GOP nominees... I can't believe I could ever say this, but I could get behind someone like Rubio over Hillary. Maybe I am just looking for the same enthusiasm I had with Obama... sucks.

[6000eliot]

182. There's just something girly about her, isn't there?

[stonecutter357]

201. K&R!

[ffr]

204. A positive message from a positive well loved person

Congrats Hillary Clinton!

[llmart]

205. You go girl!

Congratulations! Can't wait to hear the words "Madame President".

[LannyDeVaney]

209. Super night for the Clinton campaign and a great picture in the OP ...

can't wait until November!

[forest444]

212. We sure did, m'am!

[rury]

215. Looks like Hillary will be the Democratic nominee

so I'll have to vote for Jill Stein of The Green Party or write in somebody like my favorite...President Barack Obama!!
Cannot in good conscience vote for Hillary The Oligarch!

[Rass]

222. Hillary is corrupt

Every time Hillary "wins" (she lost the majority of the counties in NY, and much more in other states) there is another dagger in the heart of the Democratic party. She will lie, cheat and steal to get to the top. She is a reflection of how corrupt they have become. If Trump wins we will have her supporters to thank for not voting for a real Democrat. I will never vote Republican-lite (Hillary) or for the oligarchs. Bernie or bust. I will write in Bernie if necessary.

[ALBliberal]

219. This celebration in mid APRIL no less. Thank you Sen. Sanders for opening

so many eyes and giving us a choice! If indeed Sec. Clinton goes on to be elected President she will have you to thank for making her a better candidate. That is if she pulls off the biggest challenge of all of uniting a fractured party (sore winners won't hold her back!). Congrats all around and "May the odds be ever in your favor!"

[Politicub]

220. :-) Very happy here!

Now onto the general!

[sister_rosa_refried]

221. Many of the Bernie supporters in this thread need more fiber in their diets.

They can't seen to help "shit on" so many pro-Hillary threads. Childish.

[Rass]

223. Election fraud

Winning through election fraud should be shunned. I hope the election officials in the affected counties are federally investigated.

[sister_rosa_refried]

224. I think you screen name is ALMOST fitting

Just remove the "R", dear.
