Welcome to the "Deep South."

[BainsBane]

[workinclasszero]

1. NY just another pesky Confederate state

Who knew?

[BainsBane]

3. Everyone but Sanders and his supporters

knew that Clinton would win, though she did outperform the polls a bit.

It's inconceivable to me that he didn't realize what he was communicating when he continually repeated that claim about the "deep South, " and the "confederacy."

[Cha]

7. Black Tweeter Voters in the "Deep South" were pissed. I saw one mention he had

relatives in New York!

[R B Garr]

23. Yeah, who did he think he was fooling when he corrected people and called it

"the deep south". I knew what that meant right away. Who didn't. Shameful.

Love this gif!

[Tarheel_Dem]

2. Y'all come back now, ya hear? Long live the Con-fed-racy!

[BainsBane]

4. Yeah, NY has a number of those "confederate" voters

and they went 75% for Hillary.

[Tarheel_Dem]

5. It's shocking I tell ya. S-h-o-c-k-i-n-g!!!!!

[spooky3]

15. You mean "those people" who don't understand that BS

better represents their interests than does Clinton? Allow me to do some whitesplainin'....

[Tarheel_Dem]

27. Oh, please don't. I've had more "whitesplainin" this election cycle than ever before. "We people"

know who best represents our interests, and that's why Hillary cleaned his clock.

[spooky3]

28. See, there - "you people" get so emotional; we're just trying to help. :-)

[Cha]

6. Perfect, BB! You did it, Girl! Yeee haaaaaaa!

"In a speech to supporters, in which she declared that "victory is in sight" in the race for the nomination, Clinton reached out to those who had backed Sanders, saying, "I believe there is much more that unites us than divides us."

8. Very clever and spot on

The South is every state other than Vermont.

[Surya Gayatri]

9. Well technically, New York IS south of Vermont. And, so is most of the continental US! LOLOL!

[Cha]

10. KICK!

Thank you, BB!

[George II]

11. Y'all!

[brer cat]

12. Thanks, BB!

All american girl wrote in another OP: "The soul of the Democratic party is the African American female voter..." Demeaning and dismissing those voters where ever they live was a huge mistake on Bernie's part.

[spooky3]

16. And white women also supported her over Sanders.

When you start cutting out minorities and women and people over 50, you're left with only about 35% of the electorate.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

19. You wrote: "When you start cutting out minorities and women and people over 50..."

..."you're left with only about 35% of the electorate."

That 35% seems to be engaged only to the extent that there's a rally.

Those voters: minorities and women are the most loyal and reliable Democratic Party voters. Shit on them and you lose. Sanders is learning this hard lesson. "Bernie Bros." won't win you elections.

[brer cat]

24. I'm a woman

and over 50, and I have not been amused at the attitude of some of the Bernie supporters to either group. One Bernie guy here said that boomers shouldn't vote because our education was so dated we didn't understand the current world. Arrogant prick!!

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

13. What was the final margin? She maintained her double-digit lead, right?

[spooky3]

17. About 15 percentage points.

Not bad!

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

18. I went to bed at 90% in, and it was 42% to 53%, so I was a little nervous. The Corporate Media

was saying that she needed to win by at least 10%. Not sure where they got this new rule from, but you know how the deck has been stacked against HRC. They just keep moving the goal posts.

[BainsBane]

20. currently 33 delegates more than Sanders

but I believe they are still counting absentee votes.

[mcar]

14. Hey y'all!

[nolabear]

21. Honey, the Deep South has been a major force in politics since this country began.

And it's not nearly as homogenous as people perceive, it's just really loud on all sides.

I've always thought New Orleans and New York were a LOT alike, except in NOLA the food and music are better.

[R B Garr]

22. lol, love it!

Wait 'till he hears from the Deep South of California, too, Southern California.

[Stuckinadeepredstate]

25. Hey y'all!

As one of those much maligned "Deep South" voters, I really hope Bernie felt the bern from my fellow southerners in New York!
Maybe Bernie shouldn't bash fellow democrats...oh wait...he's not a democrat.
