Indeed, Bernie Sanders has now won in 19 states, counting his 15.6-percentage-point victory in Tuesday’s West Virginia primary.

She’s a veteran Washington insider, former First Lady, former senator, former Secretary of State, with literally decades of inside-the-Beltway machinations on her resume.
Sanders is looking ahead to primaries in the final eight states, including OR and Kentucky next week and contests in New Jersey and California on June 7.
Coming off victory in the West Virginia primary, his 20th win of the primary season, Sanders’ campaign said on May 11 the Democratic Party would be courting “disaster” if it nominates Clinton as its presidential nominee.
It should be clear by now that US Senator Bernie Sanders is not convincing anyone that he has a path to win the Democratic nomination.
He further told her that taking on the Democratic establishment is a “steep hill to climb, but we’re going to fight for every last vote that we can get, every delegate that we can get, and that’s what I intend to do in the next month, five weeks”.
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio says he’ll live up to his pledge to the Republican Party to support the GOP’s presidential nominee. But 4 in 10 also said they consider themselves to be independents or Republicans, and not Democrats, according to exit polls.
Clinton was walking on hot coals leading up to this week’s primary in “Coal Country” West Virginia.

She’s got the party’s nomination all but clinched, no matter what happens, but a loss in the Democratic stronghold would be a stinging setback and refresh questions about her electability in November. I’ve known about her for 30 years, just like everybody else has. “I think that reflects a dislike of the political system as it is”, suggests Knight.
Sanders’ string of primary victories make Clinton appear vulnerable going into the general election.
Edward Milam, of Cross Lanes, West Virginia, is a self-described socialist who gave money to the Sanders campaign but his vote Tuesday to Clinton. “If I am so fortunate to become the Democratic nominee, I am looking forward to debating Donald Trump come the fall”. His poll numbers against Trump are, I must confess, better than Hillary’s these days and even if they weren’t I have no sympathy for him.

Like everyone else in OR, pollster John Horwick has watched as Bernie Sanders draws massive crowds by capitalizing on liberal dissatisfaction in this left-leaning state. At the same time, the Democratic race could go on until the July convention, which might cause some bad feelings between the Clinton and Sanders camps to linger.
