Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, victor over Hillary Clinton in the Oregon primary on Tuesday, told supporters in California that he is pressing on with his campaign and would win there on June 7.

Would not surprise me.
Bernie wins, gets 32 delegates.
She loses, gets 31 delegates.
Excellent!
Hillary barely wins KY and loses again in Oregon.
She looks terrible as a candidate.
Imagine Cruz and Trump going at it like this.
i think the answer would be scary.
They dont read so they have no idea what’s going on in Venezuela.
they’re spoiled rotten and want to be handed everything.
Good thing is that when hillary takes this they will stay home on election day.
She is SO beatable.
bernie the psycho communist concerns me.
Good question.
2016 will be seen as the "rejection election".
The Bernie phenomenon is a rejection of the Obama years. For the kids, it's the "I" by his name, the absence of the "D". They don't care about his socialism, they don't know enough to fear socialism. Obama, not Hillary, is the donkey in the room. No one can overtly state the obvious, because.....racism.
Hillary is tied to the Obama years in ways that Bernie is not, in the minds of Bernie supporters.
In the same way, the Trump phenomenon is not so much an embrace of his policies as it is a rejection, a visceral one, of the Washington establishment.
C'mon Bernie! Yay!
No one really expect Bernie to win.
Good point, but I think it is No. 2 more than No. 1. People will line up behind Mrs. Bill on Nov. 8, and that’s the irrevocable danger.
Once Jerry Brown campaigns with Mrs. Bill, Bernie will fade away. But Mr. Bill may say Bernie has to go on the ticket for VP. Mrs. Bill won’t like it, but she will be overruled. She actually may think SHE is in charge.
So what happens when Hillary nominates Bernie as VP? I think at this point she has no other shot, and that as much as she despises him, she will do whatever is necessary.
The takeaway is that Hillary can’t land the plane. She will get the delegates, but that won’t be the end of it. The Bernie people aren’t going away quietly.
The obvious move for Hillary is to ask Bernie to be her running mate, but I suspect she already tried that and he said no. That’s why this keeps dragging on.
It is going to be a fun summer.
“So what happens when Hillary nominates Bernie as VP?”
She will have to pick either Crazy Bernie or Goofy Warren.
I give Pocahontas the edge right now but things could change.
Either way this ticket will lose.
Obama was able to bring together minorities and white socialists. Hillary has the black vote, but the latino turnout for her has been low and the white socialists are with Sanders. She won’t be able to replicate the Obama coalition. She’ll do about as well as Kerry and Gore did.
She will have to pick either Crazy Bernie or Goofy Warren.
Or she could flip the bird to the looney left assuming they will never vote for Trump and pick a more “centrist” VP like Petraeus.
Clinton 212,549
Sanders 210,626

KY is a closed primary state.
I have read someplace that Hillary was expected to lose Kentucky and therefore has pulled out this huge win.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Kentucky went huge for Clinton last time she ran there, and it was solidly pro-Clinton at the beginning of the primary process.
It is SANDERS who surged like crazy and came within a hair of capturing the state.
Kentucky is a HUGE Sanders win, and the party knows it.
