WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders says his campaign accepts primary results in Kentucky, handing front-runner Hillary Clinton another victory.

A review of election results Thursday yielded no change in the outcome of Kentucky's May 17 primary.

Both candidates earned 27 delegates. But one delegate in the 6th Congressional District has not been awarded yet. Clinton leads Sanders by about 500 votes in that district.

Can the Dems not see that they are the official Old Fogies party?

Bern's Waterloo appears to be California.

Funny, I see him doing well there...

Strategically, Bernie needs to focus on California and on getting one last live TV debate, even a debate with Trump.

Go Bernie Go!

To California, and to a live TV debate with Trump!!

California is just like Vermont— it just has a few more USCG stations!!

:-)

I hate Bernie sanders more than Hillary.

They both are communists /socialists.I just fear that Bernie Sanders will implement socialism faster than Hillary.

Sanders = Hugo Chavez . look at Venezuela collapsing . This is what this socialist would do to America.

Sanders = Hugo Chavez. You’re cheering on a socialist. Yeah both Hillary and Bernie Sanders will be a catastrophe for America. Just Sanders will be even worse as he will implement socialism at an even faster rate than Hillary will.

Only Trump can save America now.

Why don’t you move to Venezuela ?

Your socialist Bernie Sanders will run the USA and make just like Venezuela is now because that’s what socialists like Sanders do.

You are a socialist. Why are you on a conservative site? You make me sick

I don’t see how: SurveyUSA (most accurate pollster) had Sanders down 18 in California just a couple of days ago.

Furthermore, Sanders mostly only wins small states and caucuses. All the largest states (NY, FL, TX) have been overwhelmingly for Clinton; Florida and Texas both by over 30 points. As with TX/FL/NY, the heavy minority demographic in California bodes well for Clinton.

1. Sanders has zero realistic chance of winning the general election in November.

2. Trump already has the Republican nomination in the bag.

3. We can all help by helping underdog Democrat guaranteed loser Sanders against frontrunner Democrat potential winner Hillary.

Please follow along! (And lighten up a little.)

:-)

If only he could have gotten an honorary Colonel title, he would certainly win Kentucky as Col. Sanders!

Good - we need Hillary to stay ahead of Bernie, but have him close enough to further marginalize her. If he ends up debating Trump, it will also enrage her to have him upstaging her.

The game is afoot....

No you help Hillary beat sanders cause Trump can beat Hillary much easier (as 25% of Bernie supporters will vote for trump over Hillary do you know math or logic at all?).

Also sanders is so socialist and far left that he makes Hillary look centrist. get a clue socialism is the evil . sanders = the evil we have to stop at all costs. get a clue

yes, i majored in math at college. logically, at this point everything is ultimately speculation. this includes my speculation, your speculation, and everyone else’s speculation.

so you are picking fights with fr folks over stuff that is ultimately speculation.

i have been on FR about 7 years longer than you. i do not see any point in discussing anything in public or in private with you if you are going to be consistently confrontational with me in public and demand that my contributions (as meager as they are) always conform to your (no-less-speculative-than-mine) opinions. give me a reason to care what you think and i might consider it. otherwise, i will ignore you from now henceforth. have a nice day.

I'm not gettingn personal but just posting my opinion.

Sanders is unknown and doesn't have the Hillary establishment crutch that can't win. The media will make an unknown win as they did with another unknown Obama.

I just want to save America. How can anyone deny this logic I posted?

He or she does not appear to be capable of much abstract thought, nor does he or she seem to be able to discuss strategy without getting emotional. maybe he or she could go watch some tom mix movies (the type where you know who the good guys and the bad guys are by whether they wear white hats or black hats) since that seems to be about his intellectual speed. pity. :-)

you do not have any respect for straightforward simple differences of opinion.

nor imho is your background in logic and math as great as you seem to believe it is. either that or you were probably asleep in class at times. you have a tendency to gravitating towards false duality thinking (my opinion is right therefore anyone who disagrees with me is wrong).

just saying. and have a nice day.
