John Oliver explains that Hillary won--"Last Week Tonight"



Segment on Hillary v. Bernie begins at 12:20.

Hilarious, especially when he says: "Bernie supporters, I can hear you typing right now!"

A very funny, but still factual wrap up of the primary reality.

I quote from John Oliver:

"Both parties nearly have their nominee and it looks like Americans will be choosing between Donald Trump, America's walking, talking brushfire, and in all likelihood Hillary Clinton, the woman who exhibits either too much or too little of every human quality, depending on who you are. Which is not to say that the Democrats' primary process is over: as we say in Nevada last weekend it is very much still raging."

how about this for a headline: "John Oliver shows, with incontrovertible facts and figures, how Hillary has an insurmountable lead that Sanders cannot make up--even though he and his fans are still raging on as we saw last weekend in Nevada.

But, you see, that headline is a bit unwieldy--so I settled on "Oliver Explains (Shows, Demonstrates) that Hillary Won".

Short and sweet!

It helps to remember that DU is not life. It's going to be okay in the end. This too shall pass.
